Soft Cell - Martin Soft Cell
Originally featured as one side of a bonus 12” released as part of the original The Art of Falling Apart album in 1983, 'Martin' has since become one of the most popular and enduring Soft Cell deep cuts.
This edition features special Hallowe’en remixes from Dave Ball, as well as a club remix from French electroclash pioneer, The Hacker.
‘'Martin' originated in the arts studio at Leeds Polytechnic, as it was then known. We wrote and recorded it at the same time as the track “The Art of Falling Apart”. After we left art school all the pop madness of Soft Cell began and those two tracks were shelved.
Suddenly, Phonogram Records were asking for a second album. We were unsure of a direction or concept then I reminded Marc of those two art school tracks. I suggested to him that “The Art of Falling Apart” would be a great album title and he agreed….
