New Wave

Soft Cell encapsulated the early 80s new wave/synth pop phenomenon, a music form that took the world by storm with the 'British invasions'.
Best known of the songs here are the feel-good unforgettable beat of Tainted Love.

Favourites include Tainted Love, the heady beat of Where Did Our Love Go? the deliciously meandering Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, and the plainitve Memorabilia.
Also notable here are a lot of songs about the darker side of life, things like Drugs (Bedsitter), kinky sex (Sex Dwarf), murder, which made Soft Call popular on the Goth Scene.

electronica fantasy

marc almond and i can't remember the other guys name expoloded on the scene in the eighties with there irresisable single "tainted love" which marilyn manson has done a fantastic cover of recently.. but anyway these guys were ultra cool electro/pop/ band from the decade that gave us the hair metal and sugary pop i'm glad soft cell were around..just to stand out and wear make-up to shake the world yeah it may sound lame but in those days it was a big deal when a "popstar" was wearing make-up perverting the minds of their childs
if i had been born in the early seventies and been a teenager when soft cell were in their prime i would of loved it but i wasn't so i've got this cd the best of soft cell in my glitter hands and what a joy to listen too
a pounding album of pop/electronic classics
from "tainted love" "say hello wave goodbye" and "sex dwarf"
as i listened to soft cell i couldn't help but realise were placebo got their sound from if you listen hard to placebo you can hear sounds reminsence of the gods of electronica/pop

My First Listen to Soft Cell

I heard two songs on a local station here in Sydney 'Tainted Love' and 'Where Did Our Love Go' that really sounded good. So I got this CD never hearing Soft Cell before these two songs and didn't know what to expect. This is a Brittish pop group from the 80's and early 90's now retired. Not entirely a bad CD but many of the songs didn't appeal to me. The last 6 songs were the best of the entire CD including the two remixes using modern DJ's. Two other songs which were interesting to listen too were 'Loving You Hating Me' and 'Soul Inside'. If all the songs on this CD sounded like these above, the album would have really been 'A very best of' compilation. July 12, 2005

A Broadway Musical

This album is so different and can't be compared to anything by any artist. It makes you wanna dance and sing. It's a mug's game makes you wanna groove with it's bass and drums. You'll feel like you were dancing on broadway while you were listening to Down in the Subway. You would be singing to Tainted Love. This album is great. I bought it and haven't been able to stop listening to it. The only thing I don't like is how they seperated Tainted Love and Where did our love go? That should be one song but the rest is great!

Tainted Love fades out. Why? Then Where Did Our Love Go.

This is really a good cd but I'm disappointed that tainted love and where did our love go are not mixed together as played on the radio. It may seam like a small complaint to some, but that was my main reason for buying this cd. December 3, 2004
