MARC ALMOND: THE VOICE OF SOFT CELL. FOUR DECADES SOLO.

Vocalist. Songwriter. One of the most original voices of his generation. Tainted Love. Say Hello Wave Goodbye. Bedsitter. Torch. As the voice of Soft Cell he sang the song that stayed longest in the history of the US Billboard Top 100 - and won the first-ever Brit Award. 38 million records sold. Officer of the Order of the British Empire for outstanding services to arts and culture.

MAMBAS, BREL AND THE RETURN

Since 1984 he has walked his own path. Marc and the Mambas. Chanson. Jacques Brel - the artist's estate named Marc the greatest living interpreter of his songs. A duet with Gene Pitney: Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart, number one in the UK for five weeks. In 2004 he had to relearn how to sing after a motorcycle accident and two weeks in a coma. Today he sings better than ever.

THIRD VISIT TO ŁÓDŹ. FIRST WITHOUT SOFT CELL.

He appeared at Soundedit twice - in 2013 and 2021. Although Dave Ball passed away in October 2025, they managed to record one final Soft Cell album, „Danceteria”, released right now. Marc Almond returns to Soundedit and closes a chapter that began back in 1979.

WOLFGANG FLÜR: THE MAN WHO WAS A KRAFTWERK ROBOT.

Percussionist. Architect of rhythm. One of four musicians who built the sound on which all electronic music of the last fifty years stands. Autobahn. Trans-Europe Express. The Model. The Robots. Computer World. As a member of Kraftwerk from 1973 to 1987 he helped define techno, synth-pop and the entire landscape of contemporary dance music. In 2021 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

AFTER KRAFTWERK: THE MAN, NOT THE HOLOGRAM.

He’s been creating his own shows for years. His album Times is a collaboration that once seemed impossible: Boris Blank (Yello), Peter Hook (Joy Division / New Order), Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk), Juan Atkins — the godfather of Detroit techno — andEmil Schult. His autobiography, “I Was a Robot,” has sold tens of thousands of copies. Fifty years after the release of Autobahn, Flür is still behind the wheel.

THE WOLFGANG PRESS: THEY CHOOSE ŁÓDŹ. AGAIN.

Bass. Guitar. Keys. A Girl Like You. King of Soul. Cut the Tree. Kansas. Pioneers from 4AD - the label that almost single-handedly defined the dark art-punk of the late 70s and early 80s, stretching through to the synth-heavy funk-pop of the 90s. They have just released „Bird Dog” on Downwards Records - their first album in nearly three decades.

TWO ALBUMS. THREE DECADES OF SILENCE.

After almost 30 years of absence they returned in 2024 with „A 2nd Shape”. For its world premiere they chose Soundedit in Łódź and delivered one of the most important concerts of that year. The core of the band remains Michael Allen and Andrew Gray.

WORLD PREMIERE. HERE. AGAIN. ONLY HERE.

Two years ago they gave the world its first listen to „A 2nd Shape” right here. Now they return with a brand new record - and once again Łódź gets it first. The Wolfgang Press do not do tours. They do Soundedit.
