We’re delighted to have Blancmange main man Neil Arthur on the cover of the latest issue of Electronic Sound – and a special dot-to-dot image of him, no less. We have a limited edition pink vinyl seven-inch to accompany the magazine too, with the awesome ‘Living On The Ceiling’ on the A-side. Blancmange were one of the coolest synthpop outfits of the early 1980s and it was quite a surprise when Neil Arthur and his original partner Stephen Luscombe called it a day in 1986. It was another surprise when Neil resurrected the group in 2011, putting out a dozen or so new Blancmange albums during the last 11 years. The latest, ‘Private View’, is an absolute corker. And as well as making great records, Neil always gives brilliant interviews, skipping between subjects, offering unique opinions, telling endless anecdotes – from swimming races with Depeche Mode to sitting on Grace Jones’ knee – and all of it without missing a beat. He’s a master at connecting the dots. Hence this month’s cover image.

About LP international: LP – that is the world of analogue music reproduction. Records and turntables are an expression of a special kind of attitude towards life; an analogous experience, precisely that kind of feeling that corresponds to the human being since the beginning of time. The basis of the content is the record with its entire environment: amplifiers, loudspeakers and accessories are indispensable for an analogue experience. A detailed presentation of current equipment and classics from the past is accompanied by essays, service articles and record reviews. Authenticity and individuality characterize this unique magazine for this branch of music production.
We are giving you two cover stars for the price of one this month – minimal techno pioneer Plastikman and piano maestro Chilly Gonzales, who have joined forces for a one-off album that is truly special. We’ve a fantastic seven-inch featuring two tracks by the pair to accompany the magazine too. Plastikman, aka Canadian producer and DJ Richie Hawtin, has created some of the most innovative and exhilarating electronic music of the last 30 years – from sinuous acid to skeletal techno to panoramic ambient soundscapes. His latest release, ‘Consumed In Key’, is a bold reworking of his 1998 album ‘Consumed’, recorded in collaboration with fellow musical shapeshifter Chilly Gonzales. It’s a giant leap into uncharted territory for these two sonic adventurers and we have spoken to both Plastikman and Chilly to get the inside story on what is a highly addictive and truly stunning record.
