Product Description

CD Description
As with so many groups of their time and place--synthesizer-obsessed England in the early '80s--Soft Cell's first albumis also their best. NON-STOP EROTIC CABARET is a self-consciously seedy but nonetheless delightful excursion into knowing decadence. The artifice is plain--Marc Almond's coyly melodramatic vocals and Dave Ball's witty synths suggest that you shouldn't take this album seriously for a moment--but thesongs are mostly strong enough to make this a satisfying album. The hyperspeed "Frustration" careens directly to the glorious "Tainted Love", an archetype of '80s pop music unmatched by anything else the duo ever did, though "Bedsitter", "Sex Dwarf" and the blatantly sentimental "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" come close.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sex in the City, 11 Jun 2004
When Marc Almond and David Ball met at Leeds Poly in the late 1970's neither could have known the impact they were to have on pop in the early 80's and beyond. Their first release, Mutant Moments EP, brought them to the attention of Some Bizarre supremo Stevo and secured them a deal. First single Memorabilia/A Man Could Get Lost hardly dented the singles chart, but their follow-up gained rather more success.

Tainted Love was a late-summer hit in 1981 across most of the civilised world, and has completely eclipsed the Gloria Jones original. It's status now is iconic. It was released as a double A-side with Where Did Our Love Go? - the 12" moving sweetly from one song to the other. Soon after, Bedsitter was released, the first Ball/Almond composition to come to the attention of the record buying public. A better song about the ennui of a Sunday alone in, well, a bedsit has not been written.

The album was released to much critical acclaim and commercial success. Third single, Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, a Scott Walker-ish torch song about a man who falls for a hooker, cemented Soft Cell in the psyche of the nation and made them a favourite with those who liked their pop slightly more alternative.

The album has plenty of strong songs apart from the singles. Personal favourites are Secret Life and Youth, the latter still evoking in me the despair of the early 80's. Chips on My Shoulder and Entertain Me are chirpy froth, and of course Sex Dwarf has a video that has secured a place in pop infamy.

Buy it.

(And I didn't use the word 'sleaze' once.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-Stop Enjoyment, 17 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Possibly one of the most depraved, hedonistic, perverse, sickening, sleazy, filthy, kinky and enjoyable albums of all time. I went and bougth this cd after seeing the performance of Tainted Love on TOTP. I didn't realize at the time how different my life was to get. Everything here is brillinat. From the disturbing Frustration, to the excellent Tainted Love, the ultra-kinky Sex Dwarf and the excellent Say Hello, Wave Goodbye. Later songs on the album such as What?, Torch and Facility Girls expand on an already perfect album. If you want to know what real sleaze and filth are then I suggest you get this album. You will not regret it. A perfect lesson in the depravity that exists in all big cities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best album of the Eighties., 18 Feb 2001
By A Customer
The inventiveness of both the hook lines and Marc Almonds' lyrics make this album a timeless classic. A dose of real life from the early eighties to take the gloss off the fluffy pop of the time (e.g. Wham, Duran Duran, Kajagoogoo...ETC). Rarely does any artist lay himself as bare as Almond does and his imperfect voice only adds to a near perfect album. This guy was the Eminem of his generation, singing reality songs that some people could just not handle!
