Martin
Soft Cell  - Marc Almond and Dave Ball - release their classic track âMartinâ as a single for the very first time this Halloweâen.
Originally featured as one side of a bonus 12â 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.Â
It features special Halloweâen remixes from Dave Ball, as well as a club remix from French electroclash pioneer The Hacker. Martin will also be released download EP across all digital platforms.Â
âMartin 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 âThe Art of Falling Apartâ. 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 âThe Art of Falling Apartâ would be a great album title and he agreedâŠ.
