After disbanding Soft Cell, vocalist Marc Almond chased a solo career that followed the same mistily sleazy, electronic dance-pop his former grouping had made popular. Almond's military capability was never his personality -- his voice tends to weave around the notes or else of hit them. It was the atmosphere he created with the synths and drum machines. Underneath all of the electronics and disco rhythms, Almond harked back to the days of cabaret singers, updating that profound for the saltation clubs of the '80s.
Before he properly started a solo career, Almond formed Marc & the Mambas, a loose congregation that featured Matt Johnson of The The and Annie Hogan. Ungentle (1982), the group's number one album, featured covers of Lou Reed, Syd Barrett, and Jacques Brel; end-to-end his career, Almond would cover the songs of Brel, which he had knowledgeable from the records of Scott Walker. Like Walker, Almond ill-used Brel's heavily orchestrated compositions and social ruminations as a starting point, both musically and lyrically -- Almond added a self-aware element of camp with his Euro-disco and on occasion bum lyrics. Harassment & Toreros (1983), Marc & the Mambas' second album, explored this path in more item than Ignoble, just to an orchestral background. After its waiver, the radical stone-broke up.
Almond formed the patronage chemical group the Willing Sinners in 1984, releasing Vermin in Ermine in 1984. Almond began to hit his footstep with this album, which fulfilled most of his campy night club fantasies. Stories of Johnny, released the following year, was more cohesive, spawning a British hit with the title birdcall. Even though he retained a cult following in England and various parts of Europe, his records were non organism released in the U.S.
In 1987, Almond released Mother Fist and Her Five Daughters, his first-class honours degree proper solo album and his bleakest turn to date; a digest, Singles: 1984-1987, appeared the same year. Stars We Are, released the following year, was a brighter, more welcoming record album that revived his commercial career. In addition to a couple with Nico on "Your Kisses Burn," Almond dueted with Gene Pitney on Pitney's have "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart," which became a number nonpareil single. Stars We Are besides became his number one album released in the U.S. since Soft Cell.
Almond followed the success of Stars We Are in 1990 with the pet project Jacques, a collection of Brel songs. That same year, he released Enchanted, which was more successful than Jacques, yet didn't attain the high of Stars We Are. In 1991, he released The Tenement Symphony, and in 1993, a live album entitled Dozen Years of Tears, followed by a mate of albums on EMI. Almond then switched over to New York main Thirsty Ear, wHO reissued some of his material, and then once again to Instinct with his 1999 waiver Open All Night. Through the early 2000s, Almond stayed engaged cathartic archived live performances on both CD and DVD as good as issuing the studio efforts Stranger Things (2001) and Substance on Snow (2003) for yet another label, Psychobaby. Almond continued to indite during this menstruum, publishing a jaunt leger called In Search of the Pleasure Palace: Disreputable Travels in 2004.
Things took a turn for the worse shortly afterwards the leger came proscribed; Almond was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in October of that year and spent the majority of the undermentioned yr convalescent from the incident. Almond resumed recording in 2006 and released an record album of cover songs, Stardom Road, the following summertime. Another full-length release, Dining with Panthers, was said to be in the deeds for 2008.
