{"product_id":"marc-almond-with-starcluster_silver-city_2026_soc","title":"SILVER CITY","description":"Marc Almond has personally overseen this commemorative double-CD reissue of his previously little-known 2016 electropop album. It was little-known because, until now, it had only enjoyed a limited vinyl release in Germany. \"Silver City,\" now a 20-track techno-pop essential, was written and produced by Marc with the cult German electronic music production duo Starcluster. It is his most synth-rich work since Soft Cell (Electricity Club, 2016). It's a real pleasure to hear Marc Almond's distinctive and expressive voice, accompanied by a vast array of vintage analogue synthesizers, in this retro-futuristic universe of resplendent authenticity. An album that offers a subtle and eloquent echo of his synth-pop beginnings with the cult duo Soft Cell. The tracks on \"Silver City\" are aesthetically inspired by classic electronic pop and were all composed using 80s analogue synthesizer sounds. There's a pleasant Moroder\/Vangelis vibe on \"Smoke And Mirrors,\" an overt homage to John Foxx in the angular soundscapes of \"Pixelated,\" and a vibrant tribute to three cult synth-pop tracks: Marc and Starcluster's inventive covers of Ronny's \"To Have And Have Not,\" Valerie Dore's Italo disco classic \"Get Closer,\" and a surprisingly creative electro version of Laura Branigan\/RAF's 80s international hit, \"Self Control.\" \"Silver City\" also features several unreleased remixes and two previously unreleased tracks by Marc Almond with Starcluster: \"Futuristic Weimar Berlin\" and \"Dancing Through The Fire.\" This 2LP edition comes in a wide-spined sleeve adorned with a futuristic cityscape illustration by Kraftwerk collaborator Emil Schult, and includes two full-colour inner sleeves with two previously unseen photographs of Marc.","brand":"MARC ALMOND With STARCLUSTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56393751560536,"sku":null,"price":20260206.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5013929852846_7c890497-d385-49d5-911e-a8340ff81946.jpg?v=1769712492","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/marc-almond-with-starcluster_silver-city_2026_soc","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
