Description

The 'Tenement Symphony'by Marc Almond may not be regarded as his best work, but I think this under-rated concept album is very accesible and well produced. Thought to be hid more mainsteam records, it really does have a lot to offer. The album itself is in two halves - 'The grit and the glitter'. The first half of the album sees mark back in electro-pop territory with fantastic stories in true Marc Almond Fashion, it also sees Marc reunited with his former Soft Cell partner Dave Ball for 'Meet me in my Dreams' and 'I've never seen your face' both being very reminiscent of their Soft Cell Daysmore…. The other half has two of the finest cover versions Marc has ever done, 'The days of Pearly Spencer' and Jacques Brel's 'Jacky' which is a huge departure from his earlier work interprating brel on his album 'Jacques' because of the modern dance beats coupled with sublime orchestration. It may not be regarded as Marc's finest album, but it's high points have rarely been matched.
