Fader is a new band made up of two well versed electro synth stalwarts Neil Arthur
(Blancmange/Near Future) and Ben Edwards (Benge/John Foxx And The Maths). Their debut
album First Light brings a refined 80s sound which has the cold atmospherics of Joy
Division and a theatrical yet stern vocal performance.

Near Future is the collaboration between Blancmange's Neil Arthur and solo electronic
artist Bernholz. Files were swapped, sounds, and lyrics re-wired, and Ideal Home
is the gloriously minimal result. The album is icy and detached; beautiful and
otherworldly; Bernholz's spoken word monolog on "Dawn" sounding like a warning signal
from the subconscious, while digitized electronics usher in some of Neil Arthur's most
intimate vocals.

pair’s third album together following their Fader First Light album in June 2017
and they also collaborated on last year’s Blancmange opus, Unfurnished Rooms described
by Mojo as ‘detached, wistful, touched by computer-age unease.

        14.     Blancmange              Overall

The second Blancmange instrumental album, 14 electronic tracks written and recorded
by Neil Arthur. Slow-mo synths, dark swirls of sound, and a characteristic flair for
melody can be found with every subtle change of mood and style. But there's also
emotion under the surface, sometimes breaking through and catching the listener
off-guard. It all adds up to an atmospheric and quietly moving follow-up to the
original Nil By Mouth which was released back in 2015.
