Blancmange – Live At the Haçienda
Amongst the most influential of the 1980s electronic post punk bands, Blancmange, are one of the few bands from that era that, despite commercial success, can still be classed as a true cult item. Combining effortlessly catchy proto dance tunes with genuinely surreal lyrics and offbeat vocals they were probably the most original outfit to emerge from the scene. However, what really set them apart from their contemporaries was the ability, in spite of their bizarre persona, to project a genuinely down-to-earth human image. In short Blancmange were about as enigmatic as they make them.
