Shadows and reflections

"Marc Almond knows all about drama. The former Soft Cell man has experienced his share of personal turmoil through the decades, but what has triumphed over adversity is a spirit of rebelliousness that has naturally migrated to his work. This is none more apparent than with Shadows and Reflections, a collection of baroque pop songs from the 1960s that Almond has seen fit to tweak in the way he alone can, with rich orchestrations and lavish arrangements".

"A title like Shadows and Reflections might make this album sound like a contemplative take on an illustrious three decades for synth pop pioneer Marc Almond, but it is certainly not a retrospective ... The songs on Shadows and Reflections were written or recorded by some of the most influential names in music over the last 50 years ... Almond has never been one to shy away from theatrics, and so Shadows and Reflections is a showgirl of an album with sardonic delight bursting from under the petticoats of each baroque-styled pop song".
