Mutant Moments
Encyclopedia : M : MU : MUT : Mutant Moments
Mutant Moments is a short EP, independently financed and produced by Soft Cell, a synthpop/new wave duo who would later achieve fame with their groundbreaking hit cover of the Gloria Jones song Tainted Love. Approximately 2000 copies were pressed, originally by Soft Cell, then later by a Japanese fan club, making the record extremely rare and prized by collectors and fans alike. The duo, who attended Leeds Metropolitan University, originally developed a cult following with their performances which routinely included bizarre sexual imagery and visuals representing sexual themes. Some examples include instances where singer Marc Almond would smear his body with cat food, simulate sexual intercourse with a full-length mirror, or appear onstage in drag.
The band was signed to Some Bizzare Records soon after its release, with a single, Memorabilia, being released the following year.
The EP includes the song "Frustration," which also appears on their full-length studio album Non-stop Erotic Cabaret, though the two versions sound very differrent. Three songs from the EP also appear on the rarities/bootleg compilation The Bedsit Tapes.
