Planning to comment? If so please read:
(1) this channel is moderated and we do not approve negative comments that don't offer constructive feedback.
(2) in response to the many comments we've received that are critical about the video and the "interviewer, " here's some points to consider: We filmed this segment strictly for "b-roll" - so that during Vince's interview in the documentary (I Dream Of Wires) we could cut away to shots of him showing his gear etc. Watching it through, we felt that it was interesting enough to share as is, and that many Vince fans would enjoy it, despite the fact that it was never meant to be watched as a standalone "interview." The interviewer (Jason Amm - also known as the electronic music artist Solvent) didn't ask questions as though they were meant to be on film, and so it was just casual banter. Some commenters have suggested that the interviewer is not well informed on the subject of synthesizers. Again, this was just meant to be casual, off-camera banter. Jason also conducted nearly all of the interviews in I Dream Of Wires, off camera, and we don't hear too many complaints about the quality of the interview content in the film. Vince also seemed to enjoy it as evidenced by the fact that he invited Jason out for a smoke afterwards, to continue the conversation after it was complete.
(3) in response to the many comments we've received asking why there are no sound demos of the gear, please keep in mind that doing that would take several days of filming. Vince generously gave us many hours of his time for this interview. We're lucky he gave us that much time, let alone expect him to spend days with us. Plus, as mentioned above, this was filmed for "b-roll, " never meant as a standalone video.
Bottom line: if you don't like the video, don't watch it, and if you think you can do a better job of capturing Vince on film showing off his collection, then see if you can make it happen.

For all the work that he did with Depeche Mode, Yaz(oo), and Erasure, I can safely say that Vince Clarke is one of music's most supreme geniuses!!!! Vince Clarke really should make a Erasure/Yaz/Depeche Mode crossover album.

A very humble LEGEND with a beautiful mind who allows us to catch glimpses of it through his creations. Bless you Vincent!

Love Vince. Had the chance to meet him a few years ago.

Vince is underneath it all, a composer devoted to counterpoint. His sound is like a baroque musician who has synthesizers.

Greetings from Russia!
Thank you very much for the opportunity to immerse yourself in the everyday life of a great musician. I love to listen to good music from various bands, rock, pop and a little rap)) And British music in General I think is a legislator in the world. Almost everything else is an imitation of her.
Adore listen to PSB and Erasure, a small son in three years liked humming "Divided by, divided by")) He've heard this music in automobile. And my wife with musical education heard Erasure was very surprised by such a good, memorable music.
Vince Clarke, his talent is certainly based on the hard work of many years, I really like all his music. In the old days minstrels roamed England and played music to the people, Vince reminds me of their leader))

I have no idea how Vince takes those and turns them into my favorite music. Mind boggled.

So cool this video! Appreciate Vince letting us see into his world for a few minutes to get a peek into what gets his juices flowing. He’s the synth-pop mad scientist that has produced some of the best musical electronic sounds EVER. He’s the nicest guy to boot! I was fortunate enough to meet him and he was so kind and generous with his time as was Andy. Brilliant, that’s all I can say about all he has accomplished and influenced professionally.

Awesome! Gotta love him, and what an amazing studio! Thanks for the vid

Looking at that lot what is clear is that Vince Clarke must have at least one soldering Iron! I wrote some sketches for The Pet Shop Boys back in the early 90's, and one of my tracks (Something I used to Do) had the working title 'Dry Joint'. I still think this is a great title for anyone who knows retro-gear and has had to fix it whilst the studio clock is ticking. In the end the dry-joint was such a great effect I was later forced to emulate it with a frayed cable and some tin-foil. As a teenager I did my YTS (youth training scheme for non Brits) at Ashlex Music in Rugby Warwickshire, and I was allowed to take home any scrap-kit (one early Moog and a couple of Yamaha Slop-fronts, which I wired to a Lesley Speaker). The Pet Shop Boys went with Go-West (which dates the whole episode) instead of my track but I came close I tell you. I plan to bung it on YouTube myself this year just for kicks because O am not done yet, still writing. Early Vince Clarke and Vangelis are major influences for me so this was a joy to see. Thank you and BRAVO Vince 🏆

This is so interesting. We covered "only you" but we didn't want to let go of the awesome analogue sounds so we kept them in our version. Legend Vince.
