It’s over forty years since Soft Cell burst onto the music scene with their performance of ‘Tainted Love’ on Top Of The Pops. Frontman Marc Almond can be seen wearing multiple layers of eyeliner as he effortlessly commands the stage, with Dave Ball playing his synthesiser in the background. At the time, this generated many complaints to the BBC, primarily due to homophobia. The protests from some only reinforced Soft Cell’s resolve. Soft Cell have always dared to be unconventional, and their fifth album *Happiness Not Included is another statement of that intent. Dave Ball’s evocative, powerful synths combine brilliantly with Marc Almond’s lyrics that explore past conceptions and memories with an anti-establishment flair.
