Vince Clarke Rarities on SoundCloud

This was brought to my attention by Patrick Fridh of Fairlight Legacy fame.

Latest tracks by Vince Clarke Rarities

What we have here are 18 tracks from Vince Clarke’s past including tracks from Depeche Mode, Yazoo, The Assembly as well as an extended version of his duet with Paul Quinn and some, what I imagine is, VERY rare stuff from Composition Of Sound, the band made up of Vince, Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher that would eventually turn into Depeche Mode once Dave Gahan came along.

The tracks are a mixture of remixes, live numbers and some unreleased demos and represent a very unique collection of works from a man regarded by many as a musical and synthesizer genius.

Now, I can’t seem to confirm the authenticity of this SoundCloud account and whether it really is officially linked to Vince, but while it’s there, I suggest you go get your fill and revel in the electronic melodic genius of one of Basildon’s most famous and creative son’s.

And while we’re talking of Vince, it’s worth mentioning this short film made by Motherboard.tv from their Electric Independance series….

Synthgasm…..

And finally, expect the Yazoo Reunion tour Live CD sometime towards September 2010! :o)
