OneTwo: Cloud9 - Guitar By Martin Gore From Depeche Mode

OneTwo - Cloud9 (Guitar By Martin Gore From Depeche Mode)

In 2004, Claudia Brücken (Propaganda/Act) and Paul Humphreys (OMD) joined up as "Onetwo", and released a five track e.p. entitled "Item".
One of the five tracks is entitled "Cloud Nine". Martin co-wrote the song with Claudia, and also plays guitar on the track.
Question to OneTwo: "How did you get in contact with Martin Gore and how did you "persuade" him to help out?
One Two:"Well, being as solo artist for so long, I've always sought to work and collaborate with other musicians. I started to write a little chord sequence on guitar and I pretty much had the lyrics plus the verse melodies sorted out but as my knowledge of chords on guitars are limited I simply thought, hmm, who could I ask to help me with this song and seriously, Martin who lived closed by, came into my mind. I never thought of Martin the guy from Depeche but just of Martin who's a great singer songwriter guitarist and because we were mates and he was around I just rang him up and told him that I wanted to play him a bit of my song. We met up and he listened and I said please help me finish writing it and he said no way I can't do that I've never written with ANYONE BEFORE, SO I replied well don't worry, why don't you give it a go and if it doesn't work than just throw it in the rubbish, and then I left. After a couple of days Martin called me up and said, hey I've done it ...it was a doodle...and that was the way "Cloud 9" was written. He's such a sweetheart!"
The video is a compilation of random time-lapse videos, which can be found on Youtube. If you're one of the creators of a video used here and you wish for it not to be in it here, I'm willing to change it.
Enjoy;)

[FuellingObsession]

It sure is. He even helped writing the lyrics. Check the description above.

very good ...but where are Claudia and Paul?

[FuellingObsession]

These images I used are some random time lapse photographies, they have nothing to do with them. I thought this would be more intriguing rather than using some random pics of them.

The guitar solo at the end has Martin Gore written all over it. Great song!

I stumbled upon this by accident. I have to say I am impressed with the song. But I assume this is not the official video... It doesn't matter because you did a brilliant editing job. And I would like to purchase the OneTwo album now!

Cloud 9 was also the first track from the unreleased Propaganda album from 2000. After hearing both I much prefer the Propaganda version.
