I've noticed a strange whining sound, fairly quiet, during "Save Me Darling" from the Cowboy album. It's at about 700 Hz and starts in the bridge at 2:40. It doesn't sound musical to me; it sounds like a mistake. It lasts a few seconds. Has anyone else noticed it? Is there any information about how it got there?
What visuals exist of Vince Clarke's dressed as a guitar-playing cactus during their tour promoting the COWBOY album? All I could find was this grainy video 🌵 🎸

There's something about the way Clarke uses synths that I absolutely adore, especially on those 90s records. Often when I listen to recommended artists they don't give me that same feeling, the similarities are often artificial and don't truly capture the melodic and textural qualities of Erasure.
However I've recently been digging into Susumu Hirasawa's back catalogue (you might know his most famous song from the 2006 anime Paprika). The guy is absolutely amazing btw. Anyway this opening track in particular, from Blue Limbo and the Paranoia Agent OST, is pure Clarke to my ears.
Would love to hear more suggestions
