Review Score: (8/10)
I have been listening and adoring Marcs music now since 1985. The man is brilliant and in each release his voice gets stronger and stronger. While I am partial to his CD's Mother Fist and Her Five Daughters, Absinthe, Torment and Toreros (as the Mambas) and The Art of Falling Apart (As Soft Cell) Open All Night is a good piece of pain and sorrow. I mostly enjoyed the tracks, Black Kiss, Tragedy, Sleepwalker, and Threat of Love (Duet with Siouxsie Sioux) out of the CD. I felt Almost Diamonds was sugar water, and at some points throughout the CD I felt I was listening to Portishead, which kind of annoyed me. With the direction he is heading on this CD I don't think I can even imagine what the followup to this one will sound like. Perhaps a 4th CD of covers is in order! However, this CD has it all, it is housey, jazzy, gothy, pop-esque, loungy, and yet still remains in the all encompassing genre of camp! If you like this album, run don't walk, and find Mother Fist and her Five daughters.
