Blancmange – The Artist

Blancmange  are an English synth-pop band formed in Harrow, London, in 1979. The band were a duo for much of their career, composed of Neil Arthur (vocals) and Stephen Luscombe (keyboards). They came to prominence in the early 1980s, releasing four UK top-20 singles: “Living on the Ceiling”, “Waves”, “Blind Vision” and “Don’t Tell Me”. They released three studio albums during that decade: Happy Families (1982), Mange Tout (1984) and Believe You Me (1985). The duo amicably broke up in 1986 but reformed in the late 2000s, and in 2011 released their fourth studio album, Blanc Burn. Luscombe left following the release due to ill health, and since then Arthur alone has continued to perform under the Blancmange name, releasing nine new studio albums along with a re-recording of the band’s debut studio album, titled Happy Families Too… (2013).[2][3] He has also been involved in a further three collaborative albums as Fader (with Benge) and Near Future (with Jez Bernholz).

An Ocean Wave  – The Shape

This record has been crafted into the silhouette of  an ocean wave. In fluid dynamics, a wind wave, or wind-generated water wave, is a surface wave that occurs on the free surface of bodies of water as a result of the wind blowing over the water’s surface.
