This comprehensive five-CD collection gathers singles, B-sides, rarities, remixes, and live recordings by the British new romantic/synth pop duo Soft Cell. Fronted by the flamboyant Marc Almond, the group were chart fixtures for many years with their arresting combo of melodic, then-futuristic synthetic pop and dark, melancholy, almost baroque lyrics. [A single-CD version, Keychains & Snowstorms: The Singles, is also available, featuring the newly composed double-A-side single "Northern Lights"/"Guilty ('Cos I Say You Are)."]
