As the album is very electronic and has no vocals, I felt it deserved another persona so decided to carry on the MG concept from the VCMG album.[1] — Martin Gore – mute.com – 2015
As a songwriter, I am aware of the power of words. Especially when they are juxtaposed in the right way with chords and melody.
