The group was the strange duo of Marc Almond and Dave Ball and they soon broke from the pack with their wildly erotic dance classics. Non Stop Erotic Cabaret is everything the title says and more. It is a twisted journey that Almond takes us on through London's red light district. The video to accompany Sex Dwarf has yet to be seen by the public because it is so explicit. The Band's second album, The Art Of Falling Apart saw top 30 hits with songs like Torch, What? and Where The Heart Is. Included in this album was a bonus 12" of Martin and a Jimi Hendrix medley. This Last Night In Sodom was the last offering of the duo's demented views. It was released at the time of their fairwell con- certs in London. In America, Murder My Angel, received some air play. During the Soft Cell period Almond offered his talents to such industrial groups as COIL, PSCHIC TV and FEATUS. After the Soft Cell break, Almond went solo while Ball hooked up with CABARET VOLTAIRE. Most recently Almond and Ball were back together on Tenement Symphony. The album is a must for all Soft Cell fans. Songs like Jacky offer a fevorish dance beat that pounds Almond into the 1990's with the ranks of Electronic and Pet Shop Boys. (*) Hope you found some use for all this.
