Experience the evolution of electronic sound with Blancmange’s Expanded Mindset. Released on Blanc Check Records, this 2020 edition reimagines the critically acclaimed studio album Mindset, offering a fresh perspective on the collaboration between synth-pop pioneer Neil Arthur and renowned producer Benge (Wrangler/John Foxx and the Maths).
While the original Mindset was praised for its dark, synth-based melodies and exploration of our digital reality, Expanded Mindset takes the concept further. This edition features extended mixes, reworked versions, and a flipped running order, providing a deeper immersion into the album's atmosphere. The release bridges the gap between the nostalgic textures of early 80s electronics and contemporary experimentation.
Key Highlights & Themes:
- Reworked Classics: Features expanded versions of standout tracks like the rhythmic title track "Mindset" and the atmospheric "Diagram."
- Sonic Texture: A masterclass in synth-pop, blending "metronomic" beats with dense, melodic arrangements on tracks like "Sleep With Mannequin."
- Lyrical Depth: Neil Arthur tackles modern themes of communication, truth, and isolation in an increasingly digital world.
- Unique Presentation: More than just a deluxe edition, the altered tracklist offers a completely "fresh approach" to the original material.
Essential for collectors and fans of electronic music, Expanded Mindset showcases a legendary act continuing to push the boundaries of the genre.
