Vince Clarke remixes Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan
Legendary pioneer turn out a rare remix for WRNTDP

Vince Clarke (pictured), legendary electronic pioneer and member of Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure, as well as a solo artist, has remixed the first track from the new Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan album Your Community Hub.
‘A Shared Sense Of Purpose’ will be released in 7” radio edit and 12” vinyl versions, both versions accompanied by an exclusive remix from the “Godfather of New Town Synthology”, Vince Clarke.
“To say that we’re excited about this, would be an understatement,” the artist’s label Castles In Space remarked.

The track is said to see Gordon Chapman-Fox’s turning his laser eye to look at the small community centres that helped Runcorn become a five minute city. The idea that the larger town would be divided into smaller centres, each with a set of facilities at the heart, and designed to be within five minutes walk of anyone’s front door. It looks at the facilities that were at the heart of these centres – a post office, bank, shops, GP surgery, school – and mourns the loss of these as funding was cut and services privatised.
