Tons of thanks to Matt Mudlow for the happenstance! I'll admit it. I never go t Depeche Mode. Total respect but just I never heard a thing that did it for me. I'm glad that you did. Alan Wilder was once in Depeche Mode. The sound of his outfit [...]

The Blow - "Hey Boy (Nicolas Jaar re-work)" . Nico Jaar takes Khaela Maricich's indolent complaint and makes it a thing of regimented community, marshaled handclaps. It's my favourite kind of dry and hopscotch beat: you trace and retrace the same dance steps, stamping footprints into the floor. Clouds assemble and dissipate; hurricanes wave and skim away. The boy never calls. [ buy Jaar's Bluewave Edits , which also includes his version of Missy's "Work It" ] Jhene Aiko - "Snapped" . "Baby," Jhene begins, "I got ya [...]

BTW - it's FREE. Read: ReVue . Recoil . Watch: [...]
Ottawa's Kelp Records is turning 17 this year. It's becoming an yearly event for myself to see what Kelp Records has in store for their celebration in the music scene. This year's event coincides with CHUO 's Funding Drive. Here is blurb for this year's events ( taken from their site ). We're very excited to announce this year's KELP 17 lineup, happening May 5-7; lots of changes from the usual, and lots of reunion shows too. This year we're throwing [...]
I remember the time of my life when I started listening to music as a child. I remember when I started listening to breakbeats. I love breaks. I also love a certain tune by A Dominant Species and it was called Fallen Funk. It is ages old now. It comes out of the vault every [...] Continue..

After Alan Wilder left Depeche Mode in 1995, he's been busy with his own project, Recoil. I remember buying the first Recoil album... it was two vinyl sides of loops and samples that I recognized from Depeche Mode records... I thought it was a treasure because I could hear the sounds that were often buried in the mixes of some of my favorite songs.

During his 14 years as a member of Depeche Mode, as well as being an accomplished solo musician, Alan Wilder really honed his skills in the studio. With his attention to detail, Wilder pushed the boundaries even within the restrictive climate of commercial pop. As an antidote to the demands of the Mode, his studio project Recoil was born in the mid-eighties. Two albums were released: Hydrology (1988) and Bloodline (1990) both giving an indication of his expanding horizons. After his departure from Depeche Mode in 1995, Wilder resurrected Recoil [...]
Nada como escuchar los conceptos de una leyenda de la música moderna: Alan Wilder confiesa que se queda corto con la música electrónica y además, nos dice cual es su disco favorito de Depeche Mode . De eso, y de otras cosas como el punk rock y el pop actual, nos habla el artista en esa plática intima y exclusiva que tuvo con nosotros (es decir, con nuestra cámara) durante su pasada visita con el proyecto Recoil . No te pierdas este Insight con alma synthpop.
Former Depeche Mode keyboard player Alan Wilder made headlines recently when he joined his former bandmates at the Royal Albert Hall this past February. But for those who thought it might be a sign of things to come, you may want to think again. Wilder has instead chosen to put any potential Depeche Mode reunions on hold in favor of more touring behind his own musical project, Recoil . This fall, the artist will be bringing his unique brand of electronica to both North and South America. Behind his recently released compilation [...]
It would take a cold heart not to be warmed by the sight of Alan Wilder taking the stage to play piano for his old band earlier this year at the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs. For many, Wilder was an integral part of Depeche Mode, as important as Gahan's voice and presence, for Gore's songs and nipples, and Fletch for his, ahhh, well, I'll get back to you on that one. Everyone likes a good reconciliation, allowing one to take stock of what has gone before and to look to what the future brings. And Wilder seems to be doing [...]

El pasado viernes 14 de mayo se presentó Recoil , el proyecto de Alan Winder y Paul Kendall , en el Lunario. Aunque Toni François fue la encomendada oficial a cubrir este evento, yo por mi propia cuenta, decidí llevarme mi cámara sólo para tomar la foto de arriba. El resto, bueno... son mis amigos y compañeros de trabajo, la gente responsable de que el concierto de este grupo de culto se llevara a cabo.
