Our Take

91/100

Soft Cell's "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret... And Other Stories: Live" is a dazzling snapshot of the iconic duo's mesmerizing live performances. From the pulsating synths to Marc Almond's captivating vocals, this album truly captures the essence of the 80s new wave era.

The opening track, "Tainted Love," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious groove and Almond's raw, emotional delivery. The live version of "Bedsitter" is a standout, as Almond's voice effortlessly glides over the haunting melodies, creating a sense of longing and nostalgia.

The band's cover of Gloria Jones's "Tainted Love" is a highlight, showcasing their unique take on a classic tune. The live rendition of "Sex Dwarf" is a raucous, electrifying affair, with Almond's provocative lyrics and Dave Ball's masterful synth work creating an irresistibly dark atmosphere.

Throughout the album, Soft Cell's energy and chemistry are palpable, making it impossible not to dance along. "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret... And Other Stories: Live" is a thrilling journey through the band's iconic discography, proving that Soft Cell's music is as timeless and captivating as ever.
