🖤 Recoil — Unsound Methods (1997)

Alan Wilder’s first full post-Depeche Mode work. Dark, cinematic electronica built from fragmented voices, tension, and atmosphere — closer to an audio film than a traditional album. With Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb) and Maggie Estep, it feels cold, immersive, and deliberately unsettling.
