VCMG (A.K.A Vince Clarke & Martin L Gore) have released a brand new minimal techno album, aptly named 'Ssss'. The highly anticipated album was released on Mute records on March 2012. Ssss has been well received by the DJ community and by the fans of Depeche Mode (Martin's current band) and Erasure (Vince's current Band).
This is a ground breaking reunion since Vince Clarke has not collaborated with Martin Gore since leaving Depeche Mode more than 30 years ago. In 1980, Clarke actually formed Depeche Mode with Andy Fletcher (a current DM band member). Clarke was the chief songwriter for the first Depeche album, Speak & Spell. Martin L. Gore went onto become the main song writer after Clarke's departure from DM.
Both members seem to be having fun with their VCMG project. There have been 3 singles released thus far, featuring bonus remixes from some of the most prominent DJ's and producers in the industry. Remix contributions include Alvo Noto, Christoffer Berg, Byetone, Mathew Jonson and Terrace Fixmer to name a few.
The Clarke/Gore collaboration is a true celebration in the Synth/techno community since both both icons have influenced so many artists while paving the way for synth music for three decades.
