Unsound Methods

Recoil

1997
Mute

Recoil’s fourth album was also the first one from Alan Wilder after his departure from Depeche Mode, but in an instance of parallel aesthetics, it has more than a passing resemblance to Depeche’s post-Wilder album Ultra. There’s a similar interest in a general trip-hop vibe in particular between that and Unsound Methods, but Wilder’s specific sense of structure and arrangement can clearly be heard. Douglas McCarthy returns for two guest vocals while American spoken word artist Maggie Estep provides two notable performances in turn as well.
