Mange Tout by Blancmange

Mange Tout, the second album from Blancmange, came out on London Records on 18 May 1984, and it's the Harrow synth-pop duo at the peak of their powers. Peter Collins produced, and Neil Arthur's big, theatrical voice rides over Stephen Luscombe's keyboards like a man trying to talk his way out of a nightclub fight.
"Don't Tell Me" is the bouncy, urgent hit, all bright synths and nervy drama, "Blind Vision" struts with swagger, and "That's Love That it Is" and "Game Above My Head" fill out an album bristling with singles: four of them made the UK top 40, two the top 10. They even close the record with a cover of ABBA's "The Day Before You Came". It was their most successful studio album, reaching number eight in the UK and going gold, and Edsel gave it a deluxe reissue with remixes and B-sides in 2008.
