Vince Clark seems to be on the same "style" ...
Well, Vince Clark writes other feelings with others words ... but musicaly, in my opinion, he is very close to ML Gore ...
They both often play minor keys and they have this way to play with keys, with words, to create a nice feeling in songs, to create beauty that bring them closer ...
Maybe the first creations together (Speak & Spell) can explain that ... Have they been mutually influenced ?
Maybe their beautiful and effective simplicity to create songs is a coincidence ...
When i listen to Erasure or dm, i sometimes feel the same esthetic pleasure due to words sounds and keys ...
Maybe as i am french i am very sensible to this resemblance ... It is over songs senses and more in the esthetic (esthesic :icon_roll ) impact ...
Well, their music sound good ! That's what i can say ! :icon_wink
