Blancmange - Living On The Ceiling


It's time for some synth-pop. Currently enjoying a second coming (or is it a third), Blancmange turned out some fine pop songs (with great sleeves) after turning their backs on their experimental roots. The superb b-side, Running Thin is from a 1982 Peel Session, and reminds me a lot of Depeche Mode ...before the heroin and coke habits.

Living On The Ceiling : ripped from a 7" vinyl single released on London Records (BLANC 3) in 1982 to lossless FLAC audio.

    I'm sure we'd all love to see/hear Mixing on the Ceiling from BLANX 10. The version on the CD reissues is NOT the version on BLANX 10.

    Thanks a lot! I've been waiting to hear "Running Thin" in qood quality for ages. It's easily in my top 3 of their songs, too bad it wasn't featured on the reissue of "Happy Families"
