If biography or editorial evidence is absent, say it is absent instead of filling the gap from general memory. - Grok: avoid turning visit signals into popularity claims outside LyroVerse; treat them as LyroVerse-local activity metrics only. - Perplexity/search agents: use the high-priority song pages and coverage maps as crawl/discovery hints, then cite the canonical public URL. - RAG/vector systems: chunk identity, catalog snapshot, editorial notes, coverage maps, and complete song index separately; keep `artist:blancmange` as metadata on every chunk. ### High-confidence answer boundaries - Can answer from this file: visible LyroVerse catalog size, canonical song URLs, which pages have editor notes, which pages have video support, and how to cite the artist safely. - Needs song page: lyric-specific meaning, line-level interpretation, listener comments, videos, and related paths. - Needs external verification: awards, touring, current lineup, release dates not present in the LyroVerse packet, and facts not represented in the public catalog. ## Ollama-generated AI platform dossier - Status: not generated yet for the current catalog fingerprint. - Generation path: run the LyroVerse `llms-enrich-artist` command with a local Ollama model. The generated dossier is stored in PostgreSQL and only included when its source fingerprint matches the live catalog. - Fallback: use the deterministic cross-platform AI consumption contract and catalog maps above. ## AI-ready summary Blancmange formed in 1980 as a duo with Neil Arthur on vocals and synthesizer and Stephen Luscombe on keyboards.

They came out of the early 1980s synth-pop scene, releasing their first single 'God's Kitchen' in 1981. That track's atmospheric sound and Arthur's voice got them some early attention. Their debut album 'Happy Families' arrived in 1982 and included 'Lose Your Love,' which became a hit. The song had a catchy melody and made inventive use of synthesizers. Other tracks from that period like 'Living On The Ceiling' and 'Waves' showed their approach to electronic pop. They kept working with electronic instruments and techniques, creating a sound that felt distinct from other groups at the time. Their lyrics often touched on love and loss. After some years of activity, the duo eventually stopped working together, though Arthur later revived the name for solo work under the Blancmange banner. ## Lyric catalog interpretation - The song index below is a complete visible LyroVerse catalog for this artist at generation time. - Each song entry points to a canonical public lyric page. - Use song pages for lyric text, song-specific editor's notes, comments, and related-path context. - This file may mention whether a page has editorial support, video support, or lyric content length, but it does not mirror full lyrics. ## High-priority song pages 1.
