Blancmange's BBC Radio One 1985 album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the British synth-pop band. The album features live recordings of some of their most popular hits, including "Living on the Ceiling" and "Waves," as well as lesser-known tracks such as "Feel Me" and "Don't Tell Me."
The album captures the energy and excitement of Blancmange's live performances, with frontman Neil Arthur's distinctive vocals and Stephen Luscombe's synth-heavy instrumentation. The sound quality is clear and crisp, showcasing the band's tight musicianship and infectious hooks.
One standout track is the cover of ABBA's "The Day Before You Came," which Blancmange infuses with their own unique sound and style. The album also includes a rare live version of "Sad Day," a B-side from their early years.
