How can there be no five star?

I thought so after the first hearing, and I have the disk for some time! But first things first: As a convinced Depechie I have also now left out me of the solo projects Gahan and Gore. But Mr Wilder I had not ignored. Until April this year. The project Recoil, each of which makes stops on a "project", now a best-of brought finally out (not Christmas) titled Selected. And in this context, there was a small, fine tour. Among other things, here in Hamburg in the framework of the DM Party-for-the-masses in the cultural church Altona. Since I already had an album of Mr. Wilder (Bloodline) and I knew that the idea of ​​Recoil and the contributors vary much I thought to myself: "Legste you the last album to, so that you know at least what is coming to you and write neck can." The fellow with the neck had erldigt, since most of those present but wanted only the autograph of an Ex-DM on their Violatorplatte. But I was glad that Recoil has so ziehmlich nothing to do with Depeche Mode.
So: Take an experienced studio tinkerers, producers and classically trained musicians (Alan Wilder), a Südstaatensonnengegerbten, vocally grizzled, soulful singer, guitarist and keyboard player (Joe Richardson) and a vocal filigree, almost fragile-looking singers and songwriter (Carla Trevaskis ) and rebuild it all together for 11 minutes pieces. Under diligent help of electronic and acoustic perfect playing sound structures.
This at first glance very confused mixture is so incredible and perfectly managed that one would think the three of DM whimper AW a little behind.
Subhuman begins with "Prey". Billowing synth swathes accumulate up Richardson with his soulful organ "Deep down in Louisiana" kehlt into Mokro. Even this piece is incredible how the mix of styles to reagge-tinged drums passes. It's times up, times down, once it ceases to begin again. And the rhythm always pulls through, the foot sways the whole with 8:20. This combination, unfeasible on paper. Unique in music!
And if you believe that with such a stunning opener is not better is already taught with "Allelujah" better. Mrs Trevaskis breathed ala Jette von Roth with Schiller into the microphone, as you would not expect it. Here, however, constrained even the first and only compared to DM. Because the rhythm imaging sequence is almost identical as with some remixes of "In Your Room". These also certainly, at most direct partially the intellectual property of Alan Wilder could be ...
To change the Stilmixe to unite in the center of the disc in the almost unbelievable "Intruders": Richardson and Trevaskis sing and complement each other in this Elfminuten-piece with their contrasting voices so that it is a delight. And stay here instumental nothing to be desired. From Sythieklängen up to almost jazzy mock drums, the whole range was on offer.
At the live drums a certain Richard Lamp should be added: It may certainly be well-mixed parts. The coronation there but in "99 Years" on the ears. Out tip! Although, that's probably the whole album.
Many must listen a little. Richardson's voice is unique and captivating the imagination. The entire Umsetztung is beyond any doubt, the idea of ​​the Other Mr. Wilder has excellently realized and produced.
And I was able to make this album so publicized that a friend recently told me their friends: "Do you know it when a certain disc is a phase of your life This is such a"
