Almond, the singer, is a drama queen, an insatiable sexual creature, a passionate philosopher of the seedier side of life, and a human wrought with angst. That combination is masterfully portrayed in this brutally honest exposure of himself.
What makes Soft Cell so utterly unique is the aforementioned complemented with their poppy, synth-rock sound. Sure, "Tainted Love" is a great song, (especially the bonus track #11 of "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go" mix); however, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is so much more than that song. I'm extremely fond of the song "Frustration." It most certainly sets the tone for the rest of the CD. Let me not forget the darkness of "Sex Dwarf;" although I smile during this song, there is a uncomfortable element to it as well.
I would have to include Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret in a top album of all time list. Psm/Boker
