Soft Cell - Heat: The Remixes

English electro pop pioneers Soft Cell is set to release a new double-disc remix album, Heat: The Remixes through Some Bizarre Records on September 1. Soft Cell achieved worldwide fame for their cover version of Tainted Love by Gloria Jones, which made a huge success.

The 25 track double album includes new interpretations of many classic Soft Cell singles including ‘Bedsitter’, ‘Torch’, ‘Say Hello Wave Goodbye’ and the worldwide Number One single ‘Tainted Love’.

The album also includes updated versions of key Soft Cell album tracks, b-sides and rarities. All the remixes featured on the album have been reworked by genuine fans of the band, resulting in the respectful updating of a seminal electronic era.

Both members of Soft Cell, Marc Almond and Dave Ball, have also both contributed brand new remixes to the album, picking out some of their personal Soft Cell favourites from the band’s illustrious 1981-1984 career.

The album has been A&R’d and compiled by leading remix and production team Manhattan Clique (acclaimed for their work with Moby, Goldfrapp, The Human League, Erasure & The B-52’s), and who also contribute 3 remixes to the album.

Additional remixes on the album come from Richard X, Cicada, The Grid, Trevor Jackson/Playgroup, Paul Dakeyne, Punx Soundcheck, Mark Moore & Kinky Roland, The Memory Band and many more.

An expanded 40 track digital edition of the album, featuring additional bonus tracks and remixes not on the CD will also be available.
