2011 three CD set, a collaboration between Marc Almond (Soft Cell) and composer Michael Cashmore. The album sets the poems of Count Eric Stenbock plus unique translations by celebrated poet Jeremy Reed of poems by Jean Genet, Jean Cocteau, Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine - as well as Reed's own poetry - to music. 'Decadent' poems of thwarted love, ill-fated romance, decadence and death are woven with homo-eroticism and laced with opium and are accompanied by Michael Cashmore's haunting and melancholic music that gives the verses a feeling of yearning for beauty and a longing for a lost innocence and youth. The album was recorded over several years sending music files by e-mail and post, the artists never once recording together in the studio: Berlin based Michael Cashmore working at home to compose the music, playing all of the instruments and adding Marc's vocals from files recorded in London. The result is a glorious union, both in voice and music, complementing the texts. Cherry Red.

Album Summary
Repressing. UK reissue of this solo album from the former Soft Cell vocalist. Though he had released two albums under the name Marc & The Mambas during Soft Cell's career, this was the first solo album under his name and his first since the demise of Soft Cell. Though the album is more musically upbeat than his past releases, Vermin In Ermine found Almond still sleazy and dark in the lyrical department. Some Bizarre.
