Our Take

Soft Cell's Non-stop Erotic Cabaret is a sweat-soaked romp through the seedy underbelly of 80s synth-pop, complete with catchy hooks, sultry vocals, and unapologetically taboo subject matter. From the bombastic opening track "Frustration" to the infectious earworm "Tainted Love," this album is an auditory rollercoaster that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Frontman Marc Almond's distinctive vocals are the perfect complement to the pulsating rhythms and swirling synths provided by instrumentalist David Ball, creating a sonic landscape that is equal parts hedonistic and haunting. Tracks like "Sex Dwarf" and "Bedsitter" showcase the duo's ability to seamlessly blend dancefloor-ready beats with dark, brooding lyrics, resulting in an album that is as infectious as it is introspective. Non-stop Erotic Cabaret is a masterclass in subverting expectations and pushing the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable in mainstream music at the time. Soft Cell's willingness to tackle taboo subjects such as sex, drugs, and existential despair set them apart from their peers and cemented their status as provocateurs in the industry. Overall, Non-stop Erotic Cabaret is a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners today, proving that sometimes the most provocative music is also the most enduring. So put on your dancing shoes, dim the lights, and prepare to be transported to a world where pleasure and pain collide in perfect harmony.

About the artist

Soft Cell

Soft Cell: Synth-Pop Pioneers and the Masters of Electro-Clash Soft Cell, formed in 1977, is a duo that can be best described as a musical rollercoaster ride through the neon-lit streets of 80s Soho. With Marc Almond's unique vocals and Dave Ball's innovative synth work, the duo quickly rose to fame with their chart-topping hit "Tainted Love." But Soft Cell is not just a one-hit wonder. Their music delves into darker corners of human emotion, with tracks like "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" and "Sex Dwarf" exuding a raw, unapologetic energy that is both captivating and controversial. Their sound can be best described as a mix of new wave, synth-pop, and electronica, with hints of punk and avant-garde thrown in for good measure. It's a heady blend that defies categorization, much like the band themselves. With a career spanning over four decades, Soft Cell has left an indelible mark on the music industry, influencing countless artists in the process. Their ability to seamlessly blend catchy pop hooks with an edgy, underground sensibility is a testament to their enduring appeal. Soft Cell's live performances are not to be missed, with Almond's theatrical stage presence and Ball's masterful command of the synths creating a mesmerising experience that will leave you breathless. So grab your leather jacket, tease your hair, and get ready to dance the night away with Soft Cell. Trust us, you won't regret it.
