REVIEWS FOR SEMI DETACHED:

MOJO MAGAZINE 'Instantly memorable melodies. Wonderful pop songs. Music Pop Art has seldom been as good.' ****

CLASSIC POP: BEST NEW ALBUM OF THE MONTH: 'Confirms Blancmange's capacity to astonish.' ****

ARTS DESK: 'This collection is certainly darker . . . 'Like I Do' is a brilliant pop highpoint, drenched in the passing orange glow of a streetlight at 2am.' ****

ELECTRONIC SOUND MAGAZINE ‘Semi Detached is a journey downwards, both through the earth and through a psyche. This is an album of subterranean spaces, dark caverns hollowed out beneath the surface... Its depths will have you thinking about it for days. There’s just so much here.’

LOUDER THAN WAR: 'Still catchy, still infectious but now all grown up. The journey will no doubt continue, but for the moment this
could be their finest album to date.' 9/10

VIVE LE ROCK: 'Arthur's emotional vocals reflect intense personal words, meshing the melodic moody music magnificently.' 9/10

Q MAGAZINE: 'Arthur is in strong voice, his spare, pop-savvy synth tracks are a fitting canvas for his absurdist narratives.'

UNCUT MAGAZINE: 'Blancmange have seldom been hipper.'

MUSIC OMH: 'You won't go far wrong with giving this latest collection a chance.' ****

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

This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn. Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
