Subhuman
After a 6-year break from recording, musician / producer and former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder returns with Recoil's 5th album subHuman. Collaborating with Recoil is Bluesman Joe Richardson, whose evocative vocal style is complimented by accomplished guitar and harmonica performances. English singer Carla Trevaskis, a songwriter in her own right, brings an expressive range and control to subHuman. Wilder's skill at blending diverse and eclectic musical styles with often controversial subjects has produced an album of complex sonic imagery and expansive dynamic range. subHuman asks us to reach within ourselves and extract the very essence of what makes us human - and more importantly what allows us to subordinate others, sometimes with the most brutal consequences.
