Well if it was a footrace of Martin Gore versus Vince Clarke, I'd pick Vince. Mr. Clarke founded Depeche Mode along with Martin, et. al., and take a look at the first album - it was all Clarke, including "Just Can't Get Enough." Then Vince took off, had a bit of Assembly work, blew up with Yaz, blew up bigger with Erasure, and is still going strong. Gore is definitely talented and really has come into his own with taking over songwriting duties for DM, but to me the more talented "bleeper and blooper" is still Vince.

Who do I actually think is the best? I'm pretty torn... Kind of a threeway toss-up between Philip Glass, Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) and Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher). |
