@thequietus.com"I’d like Dave to have seen the album out, he would have really enjoyed going out there and talking about this record."
Marc Almond speaks to Patrick Clarke about #SoftCell's final album Danceteria
@nowwave.radioDirk Oddfellow here on Flashback, spinning Soft Cell's 'Sex Dwarf' - a track so controversial it got master tapes seized by police back in '81 🖤 Synth-pop was never meant to play it safe

THE HARD SELL ON SOFT CELL
Now I know I've got to - oomp oomp - get NME, I've got to - oomp oomp - get the hard line on #SoftCell, the two-man ten-piece band spreading Tainted Love throughout the Land . . . This NME you give me, I'll take it all . . .

🎵 Soft Cell - What (12' Mix)
@jamieroxxartist.bsky.socialA Very Powerful, Striking and a little untoward and disturbing cover that I always liked. The Track & Video was shedding light on the AIDS crises and has a cameo (as Death) by #MarcAlmond (lead Singer of #SoftCell)
