I've been listening to it for most of today and have been really captured by the simple moody tracks. Especially the Blackleg Miner has gotten its hooks into me. Here's an interesting interview of how this album came about: thequietus.com/articles/33464-vince-clarke-interview-2 |

This excerpt from the above interview condenses how I think we all feel about modular:
So he started disappearing into sounds. Lockdown drove Clarke to delve more deeply into the Eurorack modular synthesisers and processors he’d started buying because he suddenly had time. He found he enjoyed pausing and replaying YouTube tutorials, enjoying how “you can see someone do something and hear the result of what someone’s doing, rather than reading a manual – it’s really inspiring”. He became the kind person who can watch a 20-minute video on an oscillator. "I find it really appealing”, he laughs.
Clarke loves how democratic the modular world feels. “My modules aren’t by the same people, but different companies and it’s often these tiny garage guys doing this stuff, soldering it together and I love that, man. That’s how interesting ideas happen.” He also loves the unpredictability of the modular world, and how creative that feels. “You can plug anything into anything and you don’t know what’s going to happen. And you can modulate with anything - a voice, an instrument, any sound, it’s never-ending - and I love how if a sound doesn’t exist, you have to find it for yourself.”
What advice would he give to newcomers? “Keep things simple, because the possibilities are already so big.”
