"Yes, in a kind of a mental sense I carry ‘Sad Day’ with me everywhere I go. It’s a template actually. Quite often when I start off putting things together, I don’t know that I’ve got it until it’s done. With ‘Sad Day’ this process was so minimal. Mark Cox who was in the 4AD post punk band Rema Rema lent us a Korg Mini-Pops and then Laurence Stevens [graphic designer and early Blancmange drummer] lent us a WASP Synthesizer. So, I’m playing the bass on the WASP and Stephen has his keyboard and then my £18 Toledo Gibson SG copy doing the guitar! It was two guitar parts – the melody and that Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! And I still play guitar like that and if I can get away with playing one string, I definitely will."

"I love the Gforce stuff – the Oddity 2 is my favourite. Obviously, you want to find your own sound, but there are some bloody good presets in there. I really like my Super Jupiter module. There’s also the new Roland Boutique modules. I have the JX and JP ones. I was thinking of incorporating them into the Blancmange setup to see if we could get Blancmange in a smaller box, but you have to daisychain them together to get the polyphony." The Roland JX-03 is the Roland Boutique JX module to which Neil was referring.
