As the album title suggests, \u003cem\u003eSongs of Silence\u003c\/em\u003e is a lyric-less, instrumental album, and is hugely evocative for that. Unlike anything you’ve previously heard from Vince Clarke, as an artisan of dynamic electropop, (\u003cstrong\u003eErasure\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDepeche Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eYazoo\u003c\/strong\u003e), \u003cem\u003eSongs of Silence\u003c\/em\u003e has about it a more sober ambient electronic beauty, its unique characteristics put it in a category of its own.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor the creation of the record Vince set himself two rules – first that the sounds he himself generated for the album would come solely from Eurorack (a modular synthesizer format introduced in the mid-90s) and secondly that each track would be based around one note, maintaining a single key throughout. The resultant pieces, with the Eurorack sound clay then manipulated on Logic Pro, amount to wordless narratives, in which a sense of synth-generated, cosmic remoteness is often jolted by stark interventions, reminders of the human hand at work amid this machinery.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis album sees Vince Clarke not content to rest on his considerable pop legacy, and instead open up for himself, and for the rest of us, exciting new electronic vistas in which the permutations and possibilities are limitless.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAvailable on heavy weight vinyl and CD. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUTE","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":47095677321561,"sku":"SDZ-42328","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Vince_Clarke_-_Songs_Of_Silence_-_2023_2f70e9a8-fbda-417a-a20c-b2a90d43122f.jpg?v=1694011740","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/vince-clarke-songs-of-silence","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
