    EAC | FLAC | Tracks (Cue&Log) ~ 441 Mb | Mp3 (CBR320) ~ 176 Mb | Scans included
    Synthpop, New Wave, Post-Punk | Label: Edsel | # EDSS 1026 | Time: 01:12:40

    2008 digitally remastered and expanded edition of the Synthpop duo's debut album includes twelve inch mixes of the hits, rare mixes and the non-album B-side 'Business Steps'. Produced by Mike Howlett, this 1982 album features all the early hits including 'Living On The Ceiling', 'God's Kitchen', Waves' and more.

    Blancmange's first album, 1982's Happy Families, yielded the minor radio hit "Living on the Ceiling," which also received a good deal of attention from early MTV. Though Happy Families can accurately be described as techno-pop, it's techno-pop with a modicum of taste and sophistication, putting it more in the ballpark of genre pioneers like OMD and Yazoo than of annoying '80s anachronisms like Kajagoogoo or EBN-OZN. Neil Arthur's lyrics are interesting enough to reward close listening, and his Bowie-esque voice, while somewhat limited, serves the material well. The sound of Happy Families is built largely around synthesizers, played by Arthur and partner Stephen Luscombe. The duo have a knack for catchy basslines and drum programming, on top of which they strategically deploy guitars, Eastern instrumentation, and female backing vocals. Particular highlights include "I Can't Explain" (not the Who song), "Feel Me," "Sad Day," and "God's Kitchen."
