The list includes tracks from Hobo, Wade Bennet and Benny Knox, among others.
As most of you probably know by now, Alan Wilder is readying his latest addition to the Recoil project - the album “Selected”. We’re very pleased to be able to reveal the artwork and the tracklist (below). “Selected” consists of tracks handpicked, slightly tweaked and lovingly remastered and by the man himself. It’s an excellent compilation, which will also be made available as a 2CD edition with a selection of rare tracks and brand new remixes.

Tonight, Alan Wilder announces that he is on track to release a new album titled “Selected”, and will embark on the first ever tour with the Recoil project to support the album. “Selected” is Alan’s personal best of-Recoil compilation, which will also be released as a double CD package featuring a selection of b-sides and remixes, some of which have never been released before.
Alan Wilder, former Depeche Mode member, will be remixing a track for the German edition of Nitzer Ebb’s new album Industrial Complex. His remix will be featured on a bonus remix disc that will be included with the standard album. Alan has produced and remixed NE in the past, so we’re excited to hear he’ll be working with them again. NE will be supporting Mode starting this month!
