Marc Almond with Starcluster - Silver City Expanded Marc Almond with Starcluster

This edition of ‘Silver City’ is now a definitive 20-track techno-pop opus, written and produced by Marc with celebrated cult German electronic music production duo Starcluster. It is Marc Almond’s “most synth-laden body of work since Soft Cell” (Electricity Club, 2016).

The tracks on ‘Silver City’ are inspired by classic electronic pop and were all composed using 80s analogue synthesiser sounds. There’s a Moroder / Vangelis vibe to ‘Smoke And Mirrors’; there’s a de facto John Foxx tribute in the angular soundscapes of ‘Pixelated’; and there’s a loving recognition of three seminal cult synth-pop tracks in Marc and Starcluster’s inventive cover versions of Ronny’s ‘To Have And Have Not’, Valerie Dore’s Italo disco staple ‘Get Closer’ along with a creative electro take on the international Laura Branigan / RAF 80s smash hit ‘Self Control’.

‘Silver City’ also contains a number of remixes and two previously unreleased Marc Almond with Starcluster tracks ‘Futuristic Weimar Berlin’ and ‘Dancing Through The Fire’.

This silver vinyl edition comes packaged in a wide-spined sleeve featuring a futuristic cityscape illustration by Kraftwerk collaborator Emil Schult complete with two full colour printed inners featuring photographs of Marc
