I remember seeing Blancmange play this on ‘Top Of The Pops’ and rushing out to buy a 12’ single of this fine song!
As with some of the other songs in my collection ‘Living On The Ceiling’ was a record that I played numerous times and nearly wore it out however I remember swapping my copy as well as another record that I had for a copy of Marc Almond’s ‘Untitled’ album with a friend who lived next door. Looking back I can’t remember why other than that I wanted Marc’s album and it had been deleted and I suppose the 12’’ of ‘Living On The Ceiling’ was probably deleted too.
As soon as I got my ipod however and discovered that it was possible to download pretty much anything I found this and made it one of the first few songs I added to my playlist.
It’s hard to quantify what it is about this song and why I like it but I suspect it is the fusion of the Indian influence along with what was (at the time) the latest synthesiser and drum sounds which all come together to make a great song.
Enjoy some Blancmange….
