Recoil is the musical project of former Depeche Mode
member, Alan Wilder, and Mute are reissuing the
project’s last three albums – ‘Liquid’, ‘subHuman’ and
‘Unsound Methods’.
Originally a solo venture for Alan’s more experimental
work outside of Depeche, Recoil became his primary
music project after he announced his departure from
the band in 1995.
After a 6-year break from recording, Alan Wilder
returned with Recoil’s fifth studio album, ‘subHuman’.
This dark electronic album, which sets the listener a
challenge to analyse what makes us human and sub-
human, is a collaboration with bluesman Joe
Richardson, who Wilder came across via a Google
search.
Richardson provided guitar, harmonica and eerie
vocals, dealing with themes of murder, death and
religion. Singer Carla Trevaskis llent her ethereal
vocals on ‘Allelujah’.
