Can a homecoming surprise us with anything particular? While this might be very tough to do, there is a possibility for something like that. Check VCMG to hear what I mean. The outfit found Vince Clarke working with Martin Gore again after many years. I assume some thought we might get an electropop album in the vein of Depeche Mode from their collaboration. However, they surprised us by making a side project they could've done in the 80's as I have said before. The sounds here are even more retro than you could've anticipated, yet you do give them a benefit of a doubt here – they don't play them to be cool, they play them thanks to their belief these soundscapes serve as the best way for their musicality. We can nod at their probable assertion.
