Among the various Soft Cell compilations on the market, Say Hello To... merits some attention as a "best of" that might not fulfill that description's commercial criteria, but certainly lives up to it in musical terms.
The likes of "Heat", "The Art Of Falling Apart", "Sex Dwarf" and the b-side-only embrace of John Barry's "You Only Live Twice" all reflect the lividly subversive ambition that was Soft Cell at their most naked, lyrically and musically illustrating arenas that were a million miles from the glossy pop tones of the group's best known hits - which themselves are here restricted to just the opening three tracks.
Elsewhere, further b-sides "Facility Girls" and "Disease And Desire", plus the rare "A Man Could Get Lost" (previously available only on a Some Bizzare label sampler) will certainly appeal to collectors - and anyone else who doesn't care if they never hear "Tainted Love" again.
