	Marc Almond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marc Almond (born Peter Mark Sinclair Almond on 9 July 1957 in Southport, Lancashire) is a popular English singer and recording artist, who originally found fame as half of the seminal Synthpop/New Wave duo Soft Cell.
		Almond is considered to be a gay icon, though he has stated that he wishes not to be seen as a gay artist, whose work is solely intended for other gay men.
		On 17 October 2004, Almond was critically injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was a pillion passenger in London.

	Marc Almond - Gay Times, April 1993
		By Almond's standards, it was remarkably good-humoured affair, an acid-free trip down memory lane with a full orchestra, troupe of scantily-clad dancers and barely a tortured soul routine to speak of.
		The "retirement" wasn't a publicity stunt (Almond was never as cool nor as calculating as Bowie) but it did mark the death of a musical persona - Marc Almond And The Mambas, with whom he had produced some of his most experimental and emotionally-demanding work to date.
		Marc Almond's latest single is 'What Makes A Man A Man?', a live cover of an old Charles Aznavour track, dedicated by Almond to "all those who have the conviction to be different in the face of adversity".

		Almond is an accomplished writer and looks back upon his hectic life with a critical eye and a dry sense of humour, recognising his triumphs and achievements, yet equally acknowledging his faults and failures.
		Almond has been making excellent, interesting music for twenty years, taking his listeners where ever his exotic tastes have lead, not just where record companies think the next hit will come.
		Almond details the long years struggling with drug dependency, record company hankering after hits and hangers on, never asking for our sympathy or blaming anyone but himself.

	TrouserPress.com :: Marc Almond
		Almond made Enchanted without longtime keyboardist Annie Hogan or a human drummer; the use of both Fairlight synthesizer and an orchestra (not to mention brass players) creates a not entirely attractive tension between sterility and warmth.
		Almond's singing and writing, however, are unpretentiously entertaining, uniting past notions with subtle cohesion and as little overt camp as the listener cares to enjoy.
		Almond released three diverse singles in 1995: "Adored and Explored" introduces elements of techno, coupled with harmonica by David Johansen; "The Idol" is a Gary Glitter- style stomp about the nature of fame; and "Child Star" is a sweeping ballad worthy of Shirley Bassey.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Marc Almond (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Brits have been accustomed to Marc Almond daring to go beyond predictable musical destinations ever since his departure from Soft Cell.
		Each song is like the exhaled drag from a cigarette: something bad, but familiar and compulsive, is first physically internalised, then released in a smoky new configuration which curls and unfurls languidly, reaching even the remotest parts of an after-hours venue.
		Almond's lyrics are pure poetry, capturing the games people play in the dark.

	Marc Almond: album reviews and ratings
		In this new edition, author Jeremy Reed traces the evolution of Almond's music and lyrics from the legendary Soft Cell, through the various solo records and collaborations, to his emergence as perhaps the greatest male torch singer of his generation.
		Marc sings about boys who fail in life, about love and especially about all the dangers and complications of love.
		I feel the music on this album is closer to the "Marc and the Mamba's" period than to his work in the late 80's.

		Top performance in an unusual and intermit setting, Mr Almonds vocal technique is faultless, the only downside (if any) has to be that the choice of songs chosen for the live performance could of been stronger and more challenging,, Nevertheless this dvd is an example of his diversaty and his unique style.
		This 2004 Almeida concert presents Marc Almond in a space where he can pursue and perform the various songs he loves with passionate conviction, with a voice that just goes from strength to strength.
		This dvd is of great value in also including a marvellous half-hour interview with Marc Almond, in which he holds forth generously and articulately on his motives in staging and his choice of material, and a four-song dress rehearsal set, with a heartfelt version of "Gone But Not Forgotten".

	Marc Almond - Verve Records
		Almond's strength was never his personality — his voice tends to waver around the notes instead of hitting them.
		Like Walker, Almond used Brel's heavily orchestrated compositions and social ruminations as a starting point, both musically and lyrically — Almond added a self-conscious element of camp with his Euro-disco and occasionally sleazy lyrics.
		Almond began to hit his stride with this album, which fulfilled most of his campy cabaret fantasies.

		This album was released in 1988 and was a very big hit on MTV and college radio in the early years of "alternative radio" when the word alternative meant that what you were listening to was something not likely to be embraced by the masses.
		As a matter of fact, Marc Almond is a pure genius, and America, in particular, hasnt always been very supportive of Marc's ingenuity throughout the years.
		Marc Almond's penchant for the surreal is also evident in "The Very Last Pearl" another catchy song which demands attention, There are a great deal of slower Marc Almondeey songs like "Kept Boy", "She Took My Soul In Istanbul", "The Frost Comes Tomorrow", etc which are some of Marc's most beautiful and riveting works.

	Marc Almond : Torment & Toreros - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		If there's any acid test for being a Almond fanatic, it would have to be Torment, originally a double album and still the longest thing he's yet released.
		It isn't so much length as it is subject matter, though informed by his consistent bitterness with the industry as experienced via the soon-to-implode Soft Cell, the sheer self-loathing and unrestrained anger have never been paralleled by any of his other releases.
		Matched by an expanded Mambas lineup, including a string quartet featuring rock journeyman Martin McCarrick in one of his earliest appearances, Almond swings from slow weepers over lost innocence, sexual and otherwise, to frantic explosions of lyrical bile.
