5.0 out of 5 starsAlan Wilder With a Vengeance
By bobby digital on August 6, 2007
Format: Audio CD
I have been a fan of Alan Wilder for a long time. Totally appreciating his contributions to Depeche Mode throughout his career with them. Since he left, I must say Depeche Mode just ain't the same. Alan, however, provided us with two stunning CDs, Unsound Methods (1997) and Liquid (2000). Then, he disappeared to live a quiet life with his family. Well, he's back with a stunning offering and a CD/DVD edition that is clearly a Valentine for his longtime, devoted fans.

First, subHUMAN is well worth the wait. A brilliant, kaleidoscopic opus of textural depth and trademark Alan Wilder brilliance is his compositions and production. Following the trip-hop groundwork laid by Samantha Coerbell's contributions on Liquid, "Last Call For Liquid Courage" and "Supreme, Alan draws from the Louisiana delta and Joe Richardson to put a blues edge to the the trip-hop sound. And the tracks with Carla Trevaskis are equally amazing, especially "The Intruders" which at a rocking 11 minutes (most of the tracks are lengthy) gives Alan freedom to move his compositions through some interesting transitions. This will clearly be one of the best CDs of 2007. Ear candy at its finest with so much depth, the listener will find new pockets of sound upon repeated listenings.

2) Then you get a nearly 60 minute ambient reworking of the entire CD and it is pretty awesome to say the least and is a great counterpart to the original CD. That Alan would take the time to do this not only proves he was eager and happy to get back in the studio but he wanted to reward his fans with not a little, but a LOT extra. The ambient version is a lush soundscape that goes in different but equally maginificent directions than the original version. There is also a 5.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsPraise Jah!
By ebmAddikt on August 15, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Yes! Finally something new from Alan! No! I can't believe how amazing this is!! *pinches self*

Heavily blues influence, and heavy on the dark electronica. Audio is masterfully set in 3-dimentional motion (or so it seems) even while listening in two-channel stereo. If you're looking for something new and innovating, pick this up and pay attention to the magic going on between your ears!

subHuman is a collection of intelligently crafted songs hosting guest vocalists Joe Richardson (5 songs) and Carla Trevaskis (2 songs). Despite the over-all brilliance of subHuman, I woulda liked to hear more of Carla on more tracks. Additional collaboration at the mixing helm from Paul Kendal and mixed at Alan's Thin Line recording studio.

I purchased the album electronically from 7-Digital, as recommended from the Recoil web site (for those interested in the downloads). They are all ripped into a very high-quality 320kps, non-DRM, MP3 format. However, they aren't in 5.1 surround, so I will probably pick up the CD/DVD combo too. Included in my download were the Ambient tracks (the entire album mixed as "ambient" versions)....so I'm not entirely sure if these are included in the *hard* CD/DVD copy you get at amazon, the description here at Amazon doesn't provide any clue that they do...except reviewer bobby digital clues us in that there are, and easter eggs too! :)

Favorite tracks (well they're all good!) are: Allelujah (reminds me of "In Your Room" - you'll see why...), Intruders, Prey (especially the end). But there's a great hook in every track!

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starsStunning....A real step forward of Recoil
By Sith on September 27, 2007
Format: Audio CD
This is a real step forward (much better than Liquid). The sound creative of this album is far beyond 'Playing the angel' though i didn't really want to compare with DM but it makes me curious what if DM would sound like if Alan still in the band. Listen to it from start to finish is a real stunning exprerience. One of the best album for year 2007 without a doubt.

5.0 out of 5 starsAlan Wilder has set the bar high again
By Exeter on September 23, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Brilliant & inspired. The album is the best in years (from any genre) and it feels like its own film score. Never has blues, electronic elements, samples & various atmospheric textures been blended together so beautifully to make something that is both wonderfully dark & epic.

Alan Wilder is one of the few musicians/producers these days who never disappoints. Like anything that's worthwhile, this album requires a few listens to truly get addicted to. But any fan of music will find something to like about this album. The artwork is a nice touch too.

Favorite tracks include "The Killing Ground", "Allelujah", "5000 Years" & "Backslider".

4.0 out of 5 starsSix Years To Fine-Tune
By Bryan M. MCNEELY on November 15, 2007
Format: Audio CD
It's been a while, but Alan's back with "subHUman:" another trek through the dregs of the human condition. Virtually a continuance of his last album, "Liquid," his latest release taps into the dirtiness of life on Earth. War, slavery and prison life are all touched upon (in theory) in their own dark and often creepy way.

Though I feel this release is very well done, I don't much care for the drop-off after the fourth track: the chilling "Killing Ground." Instead of maintaining that experimental, brooding sound that fills the first half of the album, Alan instead takes it down a notch and relies mostly on traditional ambient techno/electronica to finish the project. While the sound isn't bad by any means, it's a bit boring and much less interesting than "Prey" (an apparent return to the "Unsound Methods" opener) and "5000 Years," for example. In fact, "Intruders" and its over-ten-minute excursion is one of the weakest tracks Alan has ever produced. Vocally, it sounds all-too-familiar. I may be a little tired of the ethereal female voice after years of it being used by virtually every other musician out there. Not only that, but considering the final five or six minutes of the track is a sluggish jazzy interlude, it doesn't scream "RECOIL" at all. No real smart sampling, the experimentation takes a back seat to tradition. Electro-lounge jazz artists have been doing the same thing for years. I don't want the same from Alan. He's smarter than that.

There is potential for "99 To Life," however, the music, again, shows a bit of rust and the lyrics are easily forgettable. The guy who created "Incubus" (from "Unsound Methods") should be able to do this better, but it simply feels as if he took a nap during the final three tracks of the album.Read more ›
