Soft Cell are an English synthesizer duo, consisting of Marc Almond (vocals) and David Ball (keyboards), who came to prominence in the early 1980s. Their lyrics often focus on love and romance as well as the darker side of life, with subjects such as the nightlife, kinky sex, transvestism, drugs and murder.
They had a huge world-wide hit in 1981 with a cover version of "Tainted Love," a northern soul classic originally sung by Gloria Jones. They followed up with more charting singles and one of the first remix Albums "Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing." Their self-penned non-album single "Say Hello Wave Goodbye" missed the No.1 spot of the UK charts by a hairbreadth.
"The Art Of Falling Apart'," produced with Mike Thorne and the then new CMI Fairlight at hand with endless efforts by Dave Ball aiming at perfection followed in 1982. It spawned two singles chosen against the will of the record companies; "Where The Heart Is," and "Numbers," which were about youthful frustration and frequently changing sexual partners respectively.
The commercial pressure finally collided with their artistic ambitions which led to solo and side projects and two farewell shows in January 1984 even before "This Last Night In Sodom," was released. They reunited in the early 2000's for a tour with their fourth studio album "C

One of the elements Soft Cell’s rapturously received deluxe 6 CD boxset of their stone cold 1981 electro pop classic, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, released in December 2023, was the inclusion of the entire original album presented as extended 12” versions. Now available on vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day, Non-Stop Extended Cabaret features contemporary full-length versions of the tracks, many of which have never been on vinyl before. The debut album from Marc Almond and Dave Ball (aka Soft) is truly an icon of electronic music. Not only did ‘Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret’ introduce the world to classic singles “Tainted Love” (one of the biggest global hits of all time,) “Bedsitter,” and “Say Hello Wave Goodbye,” it also shocked and delighted in equal measure with a 10-track song cycle straight out of the seedier, sleazier, darker side of life. “Sex Dwarf,” “Frustration,” “My Secret Life,” and “Seedy Films,” still have the power to thrill, shock and swoon four decades on. Created by Dave Ball using only the original studio parts – they’re not remixes, they’re extended versions! Also included are a new rework of their first single for Phonogram, “A Man Can Get Lost,” and the new, previously unreleased remixes of its flipside, “Memorabilia,” by The Hacker and Daniel Miller.
