The Assembly - "Never Never"

The Assembly were a short lived project featuring former Depeche Mode and Yazoo keyboardist/songwriter Vince Clarke and sound engineer Eric Radcliffe. Their first single was "Never Never" released in 1983 and had Feargal Sharkey as a guest vocalist. The idea was to have a different vocalist for every song they recorded, but this turned out to be their one and only single. The synth pop sound is unmistakably Vince Clarke and he went on to form Erasure, which was about the time I lost interest. The Undertones had just broken up and Feargal Sharkey was about to start a solo career. In my opinion, this was his best post Undertones moment. The ultimate loner's anthem.
