Synopsis

Amazon.com

Recoil is what Alan Wilder has been doing with himself since leaving Depeche Mode in 1996. Recoil are not a proper band, as such: the name is a flag of convenience under which Wilder arrays a floating roster of collaborators. He is abetted this time by performance poets Nicole Blackman and Samantha Coerbell, shrieking diva Diamanda Galas, and one Rosa Torras, a Recoil fan from Barcelona who responded to Wilder's Internet appeal for recordings of people speaking in their native language. Between them, this unlikely collective have made a record that, while scarily cheerless, is not without a certain gloomy appeal. --Andrew Mueller

CD Reviews

Gorgeously dark

R. Ager | UK | 08/15/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having never heard Recoil before, I was played a copy of this and was instantly hooked (so I have no bias or loyalty to Alan Wilder). From the other reviews here it seems that some people just don't like the dark tone of this album ... that's more a comment of individual taste than quality of the music. If, like me, you like music that artfully explores the darker depths then you'll find "Liquid" is a real treat. This is twisted and menacing, while being kinda funky and soothing at the same time ... like a chilled out version of NINs Downward Spiral album. If you want pop-synth there's plenty of that floating around elsewhere, but finding dark music of this quality aint easy."

It grows on you.

"I gave a review of "Liquid" quite some time ago and I said that it wasn't as good as "Bloodline". Well, the times have changed! Not to say that one is better than the other, but "Liquid" is definitely much more intricate musically than the debut. Songs like "Breath Control" and "Want", featuring the fantastic bass playing of Curve's Dean Garcia, will mesmorize you. I even think "Strange Hours" is a great track, considering I'm not the biggest fan of Diamanda Galas. All in all, if you're a fan of the earlier Recoil recordings, then you shant be disappointed with "Liquid""

"another powerful, adventurous and boldly avant garde creation from the genius mind of Alan Wilder. Buyers beware: this stuff is definitely anti-pop and certainly indulgent (all the more reasons to love it). I'm not sure what all the synth-pop enthusiasts were expecting, but this is sound at the bleeding edge of creativity and worth every listen."
