Motherboard: Electric Independence - Vince Clarke & the Temple of Synth

Vince Clarke is a man synonymous with synth pop and a legend in the history of electronic music. Hes famous for founding three of the most popular and lasting musical acts in history: Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure. But his distinct sonic output depends upon another feat: he has spent the last 30 years amassing one of the worlds most impressive collections of rare, holy grail analogue synthesizers.

Are you a gearhound? No, I don't need to hound gear anymore because I've already got ONE OF EVERYTHING

i always found the system 100m to be quite thin sounding...youd need so many oscillators to get a half decent thickness of timbre. the system 100, on the other hand, was FAT FAT FAT!

I think he thought the gearhound question was about drugs. Maybe it was about drugs. Who cares? The important thing is to just keep filming.

I've got a Boss DR55 in its original box with original manual with original stickers. I lent someone £25 and they gave it me as some sort of deposit. What an idiot.
