I’m so tall, I’m so tall. This episode is all about the comeback and consistency. It’s incredible to think that since they reactivated, Neil Arthur has recorded 10 albums as Blancmange in just over a decade. Beginning as a duo (with Stephan Luscombe)  at the dawn of the eighties, their lo-fi experiment electronic pop inspired Mute Records’ Daniel Miller to call them “The Maiden Aunts of Techno”.  Those timeless mega anthems, synonymous with that era like Living On The Ceiling followed, before they called it a day. Then, all of a sudden, 11 years ago, the project materialised again. Paul caught up with Neil, a true eighties survivor on something of a creative roll now.Blancmange’s new album Private Life is available on London Records.This episode is sponsored by Audio-TechnicaPaul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
