i've listened to soft cell since i was a young sprogg along with hip hop nbe bop don't stop.two older brothers with vastly differing tastes in music.all good.dave ball is very under rated.up the boro.
The first time I heard this song, I was like 7 years old!! I didn't know what sex even was! I just thought the song sounded odd and scary, especially the spanking part...and I thought "dumb chauffer" meant that the chauffer was an idiot. I think it meant that the chauffer was mute...
@marcluc1988 It doesn't sound exactly like the album, but at the same time, it could have been a studio track they put together just for this tv program.
It feels SO fucking good to hear/see this again! It's been about 20 years! I was only 14 and this was one of my favorite albums! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The record companies complain that file sharing is killing their industry, that's rubbish. When you compare what is coming out today to songs like this, there is no comparison. The bottom line is, I would spend money on music like Soft Cell, but not one cent on anything that comes out now.
80's music fuckin' rocks. And if you take a look at what kids/people are listening to these days, it's COMPLETE trash, especially what's on the radio main steam.
early 80s music before 1984 was cool then alternative late 80s music from 85-89 was cool... but Top40 mainstream 80s pop music sucked shit after 1984.
As to the instrumentation comment...beats the hell out of a lollipop sucking dj any day. i feel sorry for kids today as the 80s was the last creative & original era for clothes & music. Nowadays it's all rehash. Synth bands were always dubbed "button pushing faggots"...now some dickhead slaps down some wax copy of a remake of a remake of a remake spinning the same lame as shit for hours & he's a hero. thank my lucky stars i wasnt born any later!
dont be so defensive, it really dates your taste to say that music now a days is all rehash. What does that even mean lollipop dj?! the rave culture is as dead as new wave scene. Does anyone know if his midi clock is synced with the lights, cause it looks really good. Does anyone know what model synth that is? is he using a sequencer?
Yesss!......This footage is greattt! Non-Stop was great through and through with not one song as filler. What a great album!!!! Does anyone have the first Dave Ball record transferred digitally?.....I've been looking for it for a very long time now with no luck. Lastly, pekoe is right on!....as sinister has always been my descriptive of this first batch of songs!
The record store I work at has this CD. It's called In Srict Tempo on Some Bizarre. Sadly the CD is suffering from CD-Rot. It has turned copper and when you hold it up the light you can see tiny pinholes forming left and right! :(
Actually, I had it on vinyl for years. It's pretty strange. I like the Genesis P-Orridge tracks. I highly recommend seeking out Vicious Pink Phenomena's "My Private Tokyo" bw/ "Promises", produced by David Ball and sounds very Soft Cell Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret like material.
Yesss!....You are correct! It's one of the strangest indeed. re: Vicious Pink Phenomena's...I will check that out!.....>Good looking out and thanks for the suggestion!
Big time! RIP Frank Tovey. Finally got all 4 albums on CD. That was a task! I wish they would put the 7" mixes of King of Flies on CD. It's a much better version than what appears on the album. Same goes for the b-side.
Do you have the Fad Gadget singles collection CD as well?...'cause, "King of the Flies," appears on it...my favorite single, "Ricky's Hand" appears on it too. (;o)
If you want some of it...(or the whole damn thing!)...Let me know and I'll shoot it out
Yep, I have the original 7" for Ricky's Hand. They actually used to play that a lot on KROQ, Pasadena back in '82-'83. I have the Singles CD too. The b-side Plain Clothes does appear on that 2xCD though. When you listen to King of the Flies annd Plain Clothes on the Incontinent album you hear this annoying heavy metal guitar sound.
I love the way the "art stuudent" type in the audience just sit stunned into jaw droppig silence! They look like a bunch of hippies, and it was post punk 1981!
