Did neither of you listen to his second album as Recoil - Bloodlines - a record somewhat in the same vein as Unsound Methods, albeit not as dark. If you did you should have heard that Alan is not about either Just Can't Get Enough, Master and Servant or Strangelove. I agree, it's not as good as "Bloodlines", "Violator" or anything else that he has produced, I'm not much into the industrial side of the biznizz much, but I REALLY appreciate the album's production, Alan is God in my eyes, this album hasn't changed a thing. Four (4!!) people took his place on the new DM album and still they didn't do it half as well as Alan would've. (for you who haven't heard it)"Unsound Methods" (Mute records, CD/2x12") is not like anything spawned from the DM crew before. It's rhythmically very complex (no, not just 64notes played really fast through a delay box like on our favorite Daddy-release etc) and very atmospheric. It sounds as if Alan DID really get that airplane in his head. Wicked, dark and moody. Guest vocalists include Douglas McCarthy (of former Nitzer Ebb. Long live Nitzer Ebb), Siobhan Lynch and Hildia Campbell. I dunno what do say, I really like some parts of it, other's I don't dig much at all. But then again, as I said, I'm not into this whole industrial thing. >I normally wouldn't post to the list just to complain about an album, but >listening to this album is like watching a deer who's just been hit by a >car stumble off the road. Don't buy this album. Don't buy this album if you expect a new Depeche Mode album (like you fellas obviously have done). If you want to listen to one of the last 20 years greatest electronic music producer's ramblings in the realms of industrialtrippyrhythmdrugmusic, do. Slightly off topic, but I just felt that I had to give a bit more shaded off picture of this album.
