BLANCMANGE - Everything Is Connected (Best Of)

LP

Celebrating 45 years of Blancmange, Everything Is Connected (Best Of) is the first collection to be curated by Neil Arthur, tastefully blending a mixture of hits and personal favourites.

Originally from the UK’s post punk DIY scene, Blancmange found success in 1982, long player ‘Happy Families’ selling Gold in the UK, and its 3 singles becoming international hits. They went on to have 7 Top 40 hits and 70 weeks in the UK album charts.

Long-standing admirers include Moby, John Grant and Honey Dijon, who states that “British synth pop was hugely influential in the burgeoning house music scene and Blancmange was a big part of that.”

All formats contain the Top 40 hits ‘Living On the Ceiling’, ‘Waves’, ‘Blind Vision’, ‘Don’t Tell Me’ and Abba cover ‘The Day Before You Came’, as well as recent favourites ‘What’s The Time’, ‘Reduced Voltage’, and ‘Some Times These’.

The vinyl is being pressed onto special Coke-bottle green vinyl.
