After Yaz, Clarke took up various production duties and projects, most notably The Assembly, before landing upon his most formidable partnership with Andy Bell in Erasure - an alliance that has resulted in 19 studio albums to date, including 5 that have hit #1 in the UK, and some of the most beloved singles of the past nearly 40 years. Following the first Depeche Mode album Speak & Spell, Clarke teamed up with Alison Moyet for Yazoo, releasing two huge albums and a string of singles that hovered near the top of the charts. With the addition of lead vocalist Dave Gahan, Composition of Sound morphed into Depeche Mode. Shortly after, the duo added Martin Gore to the mix and called themselves Composition of Sound. So "don't go" anywhere (how 'bout that one?)!īorn Vincent John Martin on Jin South Woodford, Essex, England, Vince Clarke is a classically trained musician who got the bug to make electronic music after hearing Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in the late ‘70s, which led to the formation of a band with school chum Andy Fletcher called No Romance In China. When it comes to Vince Clarke, we just can't get enough (was that too obvious?).
