Cultural Facts:
- Scene Ecology Blancmange came out of Britain’s early-80s synth-pop boom, but their odd humor and art-school weirdness kept them from feeling like a normal glossy New Romantic act.
- Studio Lore Happy Families includes “Living on the Ceiling,” where electronic pop met Indian percussion and melody in a way that stood apart from a lot of colder British synth music.
- Health Crisis Stephen Luscombe later stepped back from active Blancmange work because of serious health problems, leaving Neil Arthur to carry the name forward in later years.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
