were, much like New York's Suicide, forerunners of later 1980s techno-pop duos, such as the Pet Shop Boys and Soft Cell, in that the singer ( in this case Gabi ) appears relatively extroverted while the one who plays with the electronics ( Robert ) appears quiet and reserved.

Soft Cell are an English synthpop duo who came to prominence in the early 1980s.

Soft Cell was initiated during 1978 after Almond and Ball met at Leeds Polytechnic.

While " Memorabilia " was a success in nightclubs, Soft Cell remained essentially unknown.

After the chart failure of " Memorabilia ", Phonogram Records allowed Soft Cell to record a second and final single in an attempt to score a chart success.

According to Marc Almond's book Tainted Life, Soft Cell had exited the " Tainted Love " recording sessions with only modest expectations that the track might break into the UK Top 50.

However, as Soft Cell wrote neither " Tainted Love " nor " Where Did Our Love Go " ( the 7 " B-side track ), they lost the opportunity to make a greater sum of money from songwriting royalties stemming from one of the most popular songs of the 1980s.

The duo's first album, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, hit UK No. 5 and further explored the now-trademark Soft Cell themes of squalour and sleaze.

Soon after " Say Hello Wave Goodbye " dropped out of the chart, Soft Cell released a brand new song, another love song / ballad called " Torch " which was to prove the closest the band ever got to having a number one hit with one of their own songs as it entered straight into the top ten and peaked at number 2.

Marc Almond also formed the group Marc and the Mambas, featuring collaborations with The The's Matt Johnson and future Almond collaborator Annie Hogan, as an offshoot in order to experiment out of the glare of the Soft Cell spotlight.

By 1984, the duo had amicably decided to end Soft Cell.

However, the controversial subject matter still remained true to the Soft Cell ethos, with songs such as " L ' Esqualita " that glamourized transvestite culture in Manhattan.

Almond and Ball reunited as Soft Cell in 2001, with a series of live dates.
