Despedimos a Dave Ball, mitad invisible de Soft Cell y arquitecto del pop más elegante de los 80. En Say Hello, Wave Goodbye convirtió un desamor en un travelling emocional: neones, lluvia y un tren alejándose en loop eterno. atonal.net/decir-adios-si… #DaveBall #SoftCell

Dave Ball formed Soft Cell with Marc Almond in 1979 when they were both students. “He had heard me making bleepy noises on a synthesizer and asked me to do music for his performances,” Ball told The Guardian in 2017. “These grew into proper songs.” nytimes.com/2025/10/23/art…

デイヴ・ボール(Soft Cell, The Grid)もアイスクリーム屋さんでバイトしてたことあるんだ。「デイヴ・ボールがポップ史において果たしたひとつの成果は、ソウルとパンクとクラフトワークを合体させたことだった。ソウルとスーサイドを合体させたことだった、とも換言できる」

A #popmaster luncheon 😂 R1- 24 (No Soft Cell, Nick Lowe, or Ike and Tina) R2-27 (Butchered UB40, 2YO, and no Level 42 or Jimmy Ruffin) Plenty of Pulp tracks, outstanding group- seen them live 👏🏼 I’ll Be There is definitely one of my favourite songs of all time 🤩

Soft Cell - Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=y9KgEs… 当時、ミュージック・トマト (TVKのミュージックビデオ番組) で観る機会がそれなりにかかってたのがこのビデオだったので、懐かしい。Dave Ballがいい役を演じている。

Soft CellというとTainted Loveが取り上げられることが多く、確かにこのカバーも好きですが、最も好きなシングルは Memorabilia (produced by Daniel Miller)。 x.com/tfj_shimada/st…
