Soft Cell
Reissued with a staggering number of B-sides, this Soft Cell album should not be missed, though the point is not the over-referenced "Tainted Love." More interesting are the astoundingly sleazy "Sex Dwarf," the grim trash of "Bedsitter," the dual punches of "Seedy Films" and "Secret Life," and the melancholy "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye." The hard ...

Marc Almond
Another year and another label for Marc Almond, along with a newly stripped-down band, La Magia, with Willing Sinner vets Annie Hogan, Billy McGee, and Steve Humphreys on drums. Even more so than Stories of Johnny, this is Almond with an eye and ear on making a commercial record while still being himself, and the result is much better than ...

The Art of Falling Apart
(1983)
more music like this
by
Soft Cell
While it has some mediocre moments, this tense, quirky release also has some magnificent outings, including the epic "Martin" (based on the obscure George Romero psycho/vampire movie), a cut that was originally included on a bonus 12", and the relentless title cut. Not as cheap or sleazy in its sound as Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, the album was still ...

Marc Almond's newest label jump resulted in what looked like an ideal creation on paper -- two songs produced and co-written by the Grid, the techno duo featuring Almond's Soft Cell collaborator Dave Ball, three more songs worked on with sole surviving Willing Sinner/La Magia member, keyboardist/orchestrator Billy McGee, and a mini-song cycle, ...

The original and still the best single-disc Soft Cell compilation (at least up through the band's long-awaited reactivation in 2001), The Singles 1981-1985 is just what it says it is, and what a collection it is. Along with other genre- and era-defining compilations such as Depeche Mode's similarly titled singles disc and Visage's best-of, The ...

In the U.S., Soft Cell, the British duo of singer Marc Almond and instrumentalist David Ball, was a classic one-hit wonder, that hit being the remake of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love," which dominated dance clubs and eventually peaked in the pop Top Ten with its synth-pop sound and Almond's plaintive vocal in 1981-1982. In the U.K., the group not ...

Visions of Excess is the title of a collection of essays by the late French writer, bibliophile, cultural critic/anthropologist, and pornographer Georges Bataille. Bataille's work has always been close to Marc Almond's heart, so much so that he's been part of a tribute gig to him released as The Violent Silence. Almond's work as a solo artist ...

by
Marc Almond
Initially recorded with some of the Jacques sessions but then completed in 1990 after the final break with longtime collaborator Annie Hogan, Absinthe can't quite equal the brilliance of Marc Almond's Brel tribute; as a loving overview and celebration of many other French songs that provided him inspiration, though it's a more than fine release. ...

This Last Night in Sodom

more music like this
by
Soft Cell
The chilly layers of synths gave way to a wall of raging noise on this outing, with Almond shouting his way through much of it while David Ball sounded as though his mandate had been to program his keyboards to self-destruct. A painful document of the duo's disintegration, it still included rare decent cuts such as "Down In the Subway" and "Soul ...

A slightly fallow period for Almond's more high-profile releases began with Enchanted, an ultimately flawed attempt to build on his more mainstream success with The Stars We Are. Crucially, keyboardist and co-songwriter Annie Hogan, who had been Almond's longest musical partner ever, starting with the first solo record in 1982, had departed, while ...

Jacky

by
Marc Almond
The first single from Tenement Symphony, Jacky finds Almond revisiting two long-standing sources of inspiration, Jacques Brel and Scott Walker, by adapting the latter's cover of the former. Trevor Horn's typically over the top (and successfully so) production throws on splashy strings over a quick techno beat, making for an interesting fusion of ...

My Hand Over My Heart
(1991)
more music like this
by
Marc Almond
"My Hand Over My Heart" was seen as a possible breakout single from Tenement Symphony, but in the end turned out to be a middling effort. It's not hard to hear why -- compared to the dramatic gallop of "Jacky" or the subtler charms of "The Days of Pearly Spencer," it has the trappings but lacks a memorable hook or killer punch. Even though it's a ...
