Vincent Clarke began his career in 1979 when he formed a band with school mates Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher. That original band was named Composition of Sound and was primarily interested in using guitars for their source of music.

| 1 | That's the thing about music, it makes me Dream. |
| 2 | [on "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" by The Korgis] I remember this being on Top of the Pops (1964) actually and I just thought it was a really clever song. It was one of those if you can encapsulate a feeling into a very short amount of time, and there's not much to it really, the chorus is very, very simple, very simple melody, but again it has that emotive twist in it, so immediately it appealed to me, and I really loved the guy's voice as well, actually, it was kind of unusual for the time I think. |
| 3 | [on "Mercy Street" by Peter Gabriel] This kind of like reeks of sophistication and maturity and he's got again that kind of desperate, a little bit of a cry in his voice when he sings the song, it croaks up a little bit, so that's very appealing. |
| 4 | [on Peter Gabriel] Obviously an amazing artist. In my teens I loved Genesis when Gabriel was in the band, also later actually as well, I was a big Genesis fan. He's done some amazing things, such a long, interesting career as well, and one of the few artists that I'd like to see live, I've not seen him live yet, so hopefully he'll hang around and I'll be able to do that. |
| 5 | Collaboration is no longer painful - or precious. |
| 6 | I started writing songs at age 15. |
| 7 | I'm a lover of songs. |
| 8 | I'm actually doing a show. From my shed. On the internet. But it won't be music or anything, it's more to do with drinking and smoking. It's an art piece. |
