"5 years after Alan Wilder's last solo album, the highly acclaimed "Liquid" CD released under the Recoil moniker in March 2000, the former Depeche Mode member has confirmed to Side-Line that he will start up his studiowork again this year. The very last material by the hand of Alan Wilder was the additional production on Paul Kendall?s "Capture" album (namely on the track "Coma Idyllique", see our interview with Paul Kendall) out on 0101 records under the name of The Digital Intervention. As our last interview with Alan Wilder in March 2004 shows, Wilder - who is responsible for the captivating sound on a string of Depeche Mode hits - has been enjoying the past few years spending time with his family and taking a break from the music business. Wilder: "I've been enjoying all the things I never seemed to have time for when I was in the studio. They include travelling, re-kindling relationships with other members of the Wilder family, spending time with my kids and helping with their upbringing, spending time with Hep and taking her out occasionally, building a new glass courtyard, entertaining friends, playing tennis, walking, watching cricket, decorating, and drinking Campari while enjoying the best English summer we've had for a century." Wilder plans to start work again this autumn. The Recoil website Shunt will feature information regarding forthcoming releases etc on due time.

In the meantime, Dave Gahan confirmed our colleagues from D-Side that Alan Wilder wants to rework several songs from Depeche Mode, in particular titles from "Songs of faith and devotion" and "Violator", in the light of new technology such as suround sound and 5.1 mix sound. It adds up to what we reported a few months ago, namingly that Mute has plans to reissue the band's back catalogue with "101" being a first test.

Unfortunately, no one gives three shits about Wilder's stuff. Biggest Career blunder he's made was leaving DM, why? up until now? no one has ever heard from the guy. I don't know who his handlers be? but whoever they is? they need to be fired immediately. Talk about poor career choices? I'll almost bet the cd doesnt sell but 50, 000 units, IF that? if that hapopens, it will be a miracle. No one cares about that fucker anymore, certainly not me & I'm one of the biggest DM fans there is.

Far be it from me to contradict the great Pimp, but my understanding is that Wilder didn't want to be involved in any projects, not that his handlers are handling him wrong; he wanted to be with his family.

He must be pulling in a lot of royalties or is working undercover producing or something to be able to put out those Recoil albums. I do not think the market is that huge for them. He seems to be enjoying life though.

I do agree that he will not sell many records though. Though I like the idea of what he does, very little of it connects with me. The song "Jezebel" is one of his Recoil things that I liked the most.

Maybe with him re-producing some DM stuff, he will again join the group.

HAHA you like DM, but yet your so rude about Wilder. For your information DM are very very over-rated.

Your vocab never ceases to amaze.....oh hang on a minute it does, because what you will say in every topic is quite predictable

Last I read, Wilder was n longer a part in anything related to DM? He may get some royalties for the sings he was involved in? but as far as him rejoining the group? I dont think it happens.

You're correct, the album will fuckin tank and he'll look like an idiot for leaving DM.
