about

'Neil Arthur is now making the most fully realised music of his life.' MOJO. 'It's a pleasure to find Blancmange thriving in the 21st Century.' Q MAGAZINE
Commuter 23 is14 tracks of electronic minimalism, sharp lyrics and wintry romanticism. The sense of freedom and experimentation of previous album Nil By Mouth is still present, but whereas that album had a lighter ambient feel, Commuter 23's textures are rougher, more aggressive, ripped out of imagery that flickers between the surreal and the mundane; a sense of humour that is so dry it's almost bleak and then at times sounds like it's rising into a crazy, maniacal laugh.

Like many of you, I bought this on cassette in the early 80's and it was a guiding light to the electronic music of the decade. I had a black bomber jacket and I wrote B.E.F. on the back on large letters, with TIPEX! Class..........Wore it everywhere for years richkyd

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley
