Recoil is the musical project of former Depeche Mode member, Alan Wilder, and Mute will release the project's last three albums Liquid, Unsound Methods and subHuman. Originally a solo venture for Alan's more experimental work outside of Depeche Mode, 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 subHuman, 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'.
