Synopsis

Product Description

Recoil is set to release an album entitled 'Selected'. This release features a selection of classic Recoil tracks chosen by Alan Wilder who says: "The collection is made up of my personal favourites, remastered and edited together into what I consider a cohesive and total listening experience." The Recoil project was born in 1986 as a two-track experimental EP. The most significant work has evolved since 1996 with the releases of the 'Unsound Methods', 'Liquid' and 'subHuman' albums. Over the course of the last 10 years Alan has been ably accompanied by Paul Kendall who brings his idiosyncratic view to the whole procedure. He has also been fortunate enough to cement working relationships with many writers, vocalists and musicians, most of whom appear on this new release.

CD Reviews

Massive Attack + Portishead + UNKLE

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like any of these bands, then chances are that you will like Recoil. Recoil is what you get when you mix these three bands together w/ a tad bit more darkness: trip-hopish soundscapes with a multitude of guest singers set to some fantastic, hypnotic beats.

"Selected" is a collection of remastered Recoil (Alan Wilder, ex-Depeche Mode) tracks handpicked by Alan himself. The selection spans over all but the first Recoil album, "Hydrology plus 1+2" (which was pretty much just a demo anyways.) As an added bonus, the expanded special edition adds an extra 12 tracks of remixed goodness. Let me tell you that the remixes are of TOP QUALITY and give you a totally different experience on the tracks. Also, unlike many "remasters" of today that just try to make the mix louder, the remaster quality of this album concentrates on providing quality crispness.

Standouts are "Prey (Shotgun Mix)", "Want", "Luscious Apparatus" and "Black Box (Excerpt)"."
