Re: New techno collaborations from Vince Clarke and Marin Gore (of Depeche Mode)
Clark and Ware released two albums as The Clarke & Ware Experiment.
The first, Pretentious, was commissioned for a '3D' sound installation at an institution that's name I cannot recall. It's a lovely bit of sleepy ambience. I'd place it in the same camp as Moby's (Voodoo Child) Baby Monkey, though it is perhaps a bit more complex and considered. Sounds wonderful on headphones.
The second album, Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle, has so far bored me. It continues in the same vein as the first, but lacks the magic that makes the first one work well.
Another side project of VC's worth checking out - though it is extremely cheesy, campy disco - is his work as Family Fantastic: Two albums that are somewhat difficult to find these days.
