"Soft Cell prove themselves masters of synth-pop on Happiness Not Included – their first studio album in 20 years ... the genius of Happiness Not Included is in its theatricality which, over the course of its impressive tracklist, establishes a cinematic, almost dystopian narrative that disconnects from real life. But with subject matter such as war, religion and the refugee crisis, to vanity and egotism, the conjured image soon mirrors that of the world we live in today." - Retro Pop Magazine Soft Cell - legendary frontman Marc Almond and producer/instrumentalist Dave Ball - return with their fifth studio album Happiness Not Included, released via a new deal with BMG. It represents their first new album since they issued Cruelty Without Beauty back in 2002.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
