Synthpop wizard Vince Clarke was responsible for some of the most indelible jams of the early ’80s, but he took a while to find a stable artistic partnership. Clarke wrote most of the song’s on Depeche Mode’s classic 1981 debut Speak & Spell, then left the group. He formed Yazoo with Alison Moyet, but they only released two (excellent) LPs before breaking up. Finally, Clarke looked for collaborators by placing an ad in NME, and that’s how he found the singer Andy Bell. They became the duo Erasure, and they’ve been working together ever since.
