THANKS a LOT for this. About those times, I was in my early teens, living behind the Iron Curtain, and this music was for me like from another planet, I LOVED it! It was so much MORE than, that now, in the globalized world…
Vince also did the Rapture rap during the _The Erasure Show_ tour in 2005, mixing it with his Family Fantastic one from "Doin' This Thing". The first few nights he performed live, but as the tour moved on he covertly switched to pre-recorded because of illness, being mortified of the experience (he stated so on an interview), or both 🤭
Very cool. The Television set has a kind of Kraftwerk influence, but I highly praise Clarke for his great talent. He is one of my greatest synth heros.
He has such a cool voice and a strong accent, What's Your Name? and Ice Machine is missing here, and it's there a way to separate (on the Speak & Spell tracks) the backing vocals from each other for another video? Because there's always like 2 voices together
Cheers for the comment! You're right, it sounds like Martin is singing the high bits in What's Your Name but it's hard to tell without having the multitrack to separate them for a clear listen, could be Vince singing along with him as well. And Ice Machine sounds like Vince is more prominent in the response vocals, but yea again sounds like a duel vocal with Martin.
