‘Stranger Things’ was a celebrated collaboration between
Marc Almond and the much-missed mercurial talent of
Icelandic producer and arranger Jóhann Jóhannsson
(Lhooq, Dip, Hafler Trio…) which gave the album a
consciously cinematic musical coherence with its signature
melodramatic and soaring string arrangements to the fore.
Deftly combining elements of Gothic tinged Synth Pop and
orchestral grandeur, the album provoked much eulogising
on its original release; Ian Shirley writing in Record Buyer
in 2001 that, “This is a brilliant album. Lush, orchestral
and with a delightful contemporary rhythmic sheen, it
sounds like the soundtrack to an imaginary James Bond
film. Almond is in torch mode playing Shirley Bassey. This
is no put down… he sings with an emotional depth that is
very moving.”
Online music site Allmusic described the album as “dreamy
and swooning”, adding that Marc, “sounds in absolutely
excellent voice.”
Marc and Johannsson were kindred spirits whose shared
influences were a mash-up of Philip Glass, ‘70s music,
John Barry, Martin Denny, striptease soundtracks,
burlesque and Techno – all of which is richly manifested in
the unique sensibility and beauty of the resultant album
