Marc Almond in Glamerama
I don’t really know much about this or there’s fact on the American site for this. I can tell you what I know what people told me about it. This is a rare segment of art during Marc Almond’s college years in Leeds Polytechnic in 1978. It does consist of narration but silent acting and body gestures, so you would have to depict what is trying to be conveyed here of Marc and his friends. You can also see that on the credits, Marc’s name was Mark. He gotten legally changed later on, because one he love Marc Bolan, one of his idols (was with Gloria Jones, the original singer to “Tainted Love”) and then he didn’t want nothing to remind him of his father. The two scenes you see Marc in are basically abstract and surreal in a way. Marc and a woman are slurping on what appears to be a bong or something like it, the music is very fascinating makes you wonder if Art of Noise had a soundtrack to it. The next seen you would see Marc in some woman bondage and squirting liquid on a woman that looks like he was in a hypnotic trance. You probably wonder how Soft Cell gotten their music video art ideas from. You would also see from break periods of the footage where you seen magazine, comic book scraps of women and men, and different colors of art. I would say it could be Pop and Op art since it was already at it’s peak since this was the mid to 70’s here. It’s bizarre but that’s how art can be sometimes, I would definitely watch it, if you’re a Marc Almond/Soft Cell fan and love art. Thankfully the youtuber didn’t delete it, because this is really rare, I don’t know what it’s really about, but I do know it’s art and the title does speak for itself. He only appears in two scenes of this. And if you wonder why Marc pranced about in the 80’s then look no further! If you're the lucky person that have this, cherish it! I would love to own this item one day.
