 Recoil is the musical project of former Depeche Modemember, Alan Wilder, and Mute are reissuing the project’slast three albums - ‘Liquid’, ‘subHuman’ and ‘UnsoundMethods’.
 Originally a solo venture for Alan’s more experimental workoutside of Depeche, Recoil became his primary musicproject after he announced his departure from the band in1995.
 After a 6-year break from recording, Alan Wilder returnedwith Recoil’s fifth studio album, ‘subHuman’. This darkelectronic album, which sets the listener a challenge toanalyse what makes us human and sub-human, is acollaboration with bluesman Joe Richardson, who Wildercame across via a Google search. Richardson providedguitar, harmonica and eerie vocals, dealing with themes ofmurder, death and religion. Singer Carla Trevaskis llenther ethereal vocals on ‘Allelujah’.
 “A perfect way to reintroduce Recoil back into theconsciousness of underground music fans everywhere.” - Treble
 “‘subHuman’ is equally hackneyed and entry-levelpostmodern, but like the collage, it’s skilfully polished andbest suited for lovers of dark, incongruous genreblending.” - AllMusic
 “‘subHuman’ traffics in the thick, surging, hip-hop-inspiredbeats, sweeping strings, and grandiose arrangements…” - PopMatters
 CD includes booklet with lyrics.
 Curacao Blue double vinyl packaged in a gatefold sleevewith digital download code.
