But Blancmange's third album, 1985's Believe You Me, was a flop. The group broke up a year later. Arthur went solo while Luscombe formed the West India Company.

Blancmange’s second album, Mange Tout reached 8 in the UK charts in 1984 and spawned more hits – notably Blind Vision ( Don’t Tell Me ( and their fantastic cover of ABBA’s The Day Before You Came (much loved by ABBA who let them use footage from their original video for the Blancmange promo). It signals another change for the band’s music, now increasingly built around deep, propulsive dance grooves
On 23 April 2015, Blancmange announced a new album of instrumental music titled Nil by Mouth. In February 2018, Near Future, another side project comprising Neil Arthur and Jez Bernholz (from Gazelle Twin), announced they will release their debut studio album, "Ideal Home", on May 25th 2018.
