This album is a collection of songs off their first album "Non Stop Erotic Cabaret" which are remixed. The remixes are almost "disco-y" at times but more often they still keep the 'synth-pop' feel which I liked. The album is digitally remastered, which is nice but I find that when synth-pop albums are remastered, they do offer some advantages like the sound is a bit clearer, but most noticeably the songs are louder.

I am a huge fan of their first album, and was really looking forward to remixes of an awsome album. I was particularly looking forward to hearing the remix for "Sex Dwarf", my favorite song off their debut.

Unfortunatley the remix didn't do that much for me. One thing I did like of the remix was that you could hear the lyrics clearer. It was at this time that Soft Cell's songs were trashy and sleazy, which made the album all the better.

The other songs are remixed ok as well. I found many of them were just really really extended at times, and made the (regularly 3 minute songs) boring. Although I am not a fan of these "extended remixes" that so many 80's artist did (f.e. see many of the Depeche Mode singles) so that could be why I didn't like it too much.

Although I wasn't fully pleased with the album remixes, I did like some sections of the mixes. For example in the remix of Sex Dwarf, Marc Almond sings the first few verses clearly with not too much background music. I liked that as an intro and thought it was cool to actually hear the lyrics of one of their trashier songs. I was also pleased to hear how they started to "move in" to the bass/rythm of the song with the 'thumping' bassline in the background. It was going quite well, untill they droped the bassline and synths with just the drums again with some distored sound effects and lyrics.

The Chips on my Shoulder remix was also mediocre. I liked how it started and the whole remix is done ok, but there is this trumpet sound playing throughout the song. I'm sure many people love this sound which made it sound a bit more like jazz, I didn't like it too much.

I found that throughout the album of mixes, I always liked the intro's, or a minute or two in the song, but then got bored or just didn't like the remix at all which was odd since I really enjoy their music.

Well its just not my taste for remixes, although the remix of Sex Dwarf would have to be my favorite off the album. Compared to other mixes of 80's synth-pop this would be somewhere in the middle of my list of favourites which is why I gave it a 3/5.

I found this on vinyl a few weeks ago, still factory sealed, for a few bucks...a wicked find,,,but was wondering...if it was a re-release or the original.
The track list is:
A: Memorabilia
Where did Our Love Go?
What
B: A Man could Get Lost
Insecure Me
Sex Dwarf

The label is Polygram/Some Bizzare/Vertigo
Just wonderin' if anyone could shed some light into my non stop erotic adult movie booth:)

This mini-album was released a full year before the non-stop erotic cabaret recording. These are NOT remixes but original versions of the songs, which were then retooled for the album release. This CD contains a great version of what, and a favorite song of mine, insecure me, which is unavailable elsewhere. But anyway, I just wanted to set the record straight and inform y'all that this is NOT a remix album, but an original issue mini-album...
