Vince had done two of the most iconic electronic albums when he was 22 years old, being Speak & spell and Upstairs at Erics. Not to take away from Martin or Alisons contributions but he was the main songwriter on those albums and probably also did much of the production as well. What an amazing talent. Ice machine, Photographic, Any second now, Only you, Two pieces, Situation to name a few is absolutely brilliant songs and the production on these albums is also fantastic and very much underrated. I'm 55 years old and still cant make even one song that would fit on either of those albums. It's so crazy to think about how an album like Speak & spell is made by a bunch of 20 year olds some 40 years ago.

As a side note you name the greatest miracle of all: Vince, Martin, and the other guys were in their early twenties when they made those monuments of synth pop. 40 years later, I'm still wondering how this was possible.

I was there for this great event on Sunday 19 November 2023. Truly great night. Got to meet Vince at the signing and he was so wonderful to meet. Amazingly humble and down to earth guy, yet he’s a hero to me and many others for over four decades now. I’m always astonished at how much he did at such a young age, and still doing great work now. Thank you Vince.

What’s humbling is that he was very open about learning to use the modular synth rack. When actually to most laypeople, he is one of the kings of synth music! Great guy.

Vince Clarke watching KZbin synth tutorials. A lesser man would have thought that's beneath him. But the master never stops learning. This is inspiring and endearing.

A legendary Vince from DM - HELLO! ) Was glad to hear your mind and voice.. Your Speak & Spell is one of my favourites albums. It is so energetic, especially Photografic. I like experimenting with sound from my youth, thanks to you. First I created Moog like synths, then samplers, and nowadays I stick to programming and softsynths. I highly recommend you the Flowstone VST IDE.. It's a paradise for experimentators like we are. It's much more simple and intuitive that Max For Live. And also greets to Mute and Daniel ! I called my software company MuteByte in your honour, hope you don't mind)

I've been listening to the music of Vince Clarke for 34 years. I still can't believe the success he had when he was barely out of his teens! The new album is amazing, and I listen to it daily. Like him, I've come to really appreciate ambient music as I get older.

Very interesting interview thanks for posting - didn’t know Martin Gore and him were so much strangers in 1980/81 - yes interest for ambient music comes with age : of course there’s Eno but also many other fantastic albums like Sigur Ros’ Liminal Sleep - I agree with VC : Blade Runner 2049 is even better than the 1982 movie ! Will now listen to VC new album…and one again Erasure’s Wonderland and Chorus

Absolutely love this album. Play guitar mainly and recording just at home has got me into keys and synths. This is on my wavelength.

How humble he is to mention things like '' learning '' - '' watching youtube tutorials '' when thinking he is a synth guru, its true that technology is developing fast and everyone has to keep up with it, but if he was an arrogant person probably he would not talk about that euro rack learning process

Just imagine being a synth geek who posts on KZbin, maybe explaining how this great man created something and then the man himself uses your knowledge to learn something. And you would never know who was watching and taking notes 😊

I remember seeing Erasure, must have been 86/87 I guess (?) at what was then North Staffs Poly student union. It was a brilliant gig, but we were very early and Vince and Andy were just milling about - you could have gone up to talk to them if you'd wanted, not that we did. Great days.

@nutster9000 8 ай бұрын

I've commented elsewhere that I thought his new album reminded me of Edgar Froese's solo albums & definitely Vangelis. Also very much reminded me of a recent album by Zavoloka with Nata Zyzhchenko. Also regarding using old folk sounds & incorporating into electronic music, I'd say Onuka from Ukraine are currently the perfect example (Nata Zyzhchenko) - the Ukrainian equivalent of Kraftwerk.
