Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell’s Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret from 1981 is dark, catchy and wonderfully seedy, mixing synth-pop with club music, cabaret and Marc Almond’s very distinctive voice. “Tainted Love” is the obvious hit, but “Bedsitter”, “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” and “Sex Dwarf” show there is far more to the album than one famous single. It is stylish, slightly strange and full of character. A great early-80s electronic pop record with just enough edge to stop it sounding too neat.
