Martin Gore, one of the pivotal founding members of Depeche Mode, has never been an outward artist- his calming demeanor and elegant tone has always been balanced by an extremely prolific output and modest presence. The man responsible for penning some of Depeche Mode's most popular hits, Gore seems to have a restless side; spending at least five days a week in his studio crafting songs. With a resume of writing credits and Mode responsibilities, he's also managed to release albums with Vincent Clarke under the name VCMG and his recent solo album, "MG".
Devoid of any vocals, "MG" is a synth-laden science fiction opus of midnight movie fare at its finest. There's hints of Depeche Mode formula throughout, but Gore manages to craft something individual of his roots- a moody soundscape of otherworldly instrumentals and film score musings akin to the likes of early M83 or John Carpenter soundtracks.
