Recoil press release – new CD single!

Alan Wilder is pleased to announce, due to popular demand, a limited
edition CD release of ‘Prey’/’Allelujah’ on 25th February 2008.

This enhanced CD package includes ‘Prey’ mixes, the reduction mix of
‘Allelujah’ plus a never-before-seen film for ‘Allelujah’, directed by
Dmitry Semenov. It will also be accompanied by an exclusive
downloadable booklet featuring video stills, ‘subHuman’ art and
commentary from Alan Wilder, Hepzibah Sessa and Dmitry Semenov.

The CD is being issued, with the support of Mute, through Russian
label Gala Records in conjunction with www.depeche-mode.ru
and will be exclusively available on-line
only via their website. We highly recommend that you get your orders
in quickly because only a limited number of these CDs are being produced.

There will also be a competition, available to enter when ordering the
disc. Prizes will include 5 exclusive signed printed copies of the
booklet, vinyl copies of ‘SubHuman’, signed press shots and some other
items.

Formerly of Depeche Mode and recognised by many as the dominant
musical director, Alan Wilder’s Recoil project was born in the
mid-eighties as an antidote to the demands of commercial pop. Wilder’s
skill at blending diverse and eclectic musical styles with often
controversial subjects has produced 5 studio albums to date, each
offering a wealth of dark and disturbing pleasures.

Taken from 2007’s ‘subHuman‘ album released by Mute, ‘Prey’ features
the evocative vocal style and guitar talents of bluesman Joe
Richardson, while ‘Allelujah’ introduces Carla Trevaskis, whose
unusual atmospheric voice simultaneously contrasts and
compliments Richardson.

Following on from a highly successful promotional trip to Moscow in
December 2007, this release marks a unique collaboration between artist,
fan website and record company. It has come about as a direct result of
fan pressure – their demands having been acknowledged and responded to
by the record industry. We believe it represents an innovative approach
towards CD marketing and distribution in the future, given the current
complexities of record buying trends and an industry which, frankly, is
in crisis. Recoil would like to thank Gala Records for their forward
thinking, Konstantin Zavodnik for his initiative and Olga Golovan & Oleg
Gorbachev for their work on the booklet.
