ES793 Reader Offer: Blancmange Seven-Inch
We're delighted to have Blancmange main man Neil Arthur on the cover of the latest issue of Electronic Sound – and a special dot-to-dot image of him, no less. Our other features this month include modular synthesist Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, analogue evangelist Pye Corner Audio, and 'Killing Eve' soundtrackers Unloved. Plus Paul Oakenfold, Laraaji, Jockstrap, Maddalena Fagandini, Sarah Davachi and Dan "Danalogue" Leavers. Oh, and a couple of people who create music from bat noises. Remember where you read it first, folks.
This month's exclusive seven-inch is going to keep you running round and round. Up and down, up the wall, up the bloody tree. We are, of course, talking about Blancmange's fantastic 'Living On The Ceiling', which we've released on tasty pink vinyl. The track was a UK Top 10 smash in 1982 and has lost none of its shine in the years since. The B-side, meanwhile, is 'Some Times These', a highlight of Blancmange's new album, 'Private View'. "There are kosmische and motorik references there," says Neil Arthur. "But then most people know about my love of Neu!, Can and Cluster." Despite being recorded a full four decades apart, the two tracks make for a doubly cool record. Miss it at your peril!
As with all of our music releases, this seven-inch is strictly limited and it's only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so make sure you get your copy right away.
