5.0 out of 5 stars The best Recoil album., June 16, 2000

This is radically different than his later works. The first three are ambient excursions. "1" is crazy mofo old school trance track that relies on Depeche Mode samples from all different songs. (Even a snippet of Martin saying "misery... remember" or something.) "2" is another long track that builds and crumbles. THE BEST!

I will keep this short and sweet -- Alan Wilder breaks the Depeche Mode barrier even while remaining a part of the band. Quite dissimilar to any of later works, each of the 5 tracks on this 'compilation' (I believe it's actually two EPs previously released, put on one LP) acts more of a 'piece' than a song, as one would expect from a musician whose origins are with classical piano, rather than Pop. Each one has a different mood, and will take you places if you let it. The [$$$] price tag is a steal.

I first bought this album in 1989 and have never stopped enjoying it. Although very different from his later productions, this album is a great ambient/electronic work, showing exactly where Depeche Mode got their talent.
