Recoil live film, Talk talk covers, remixes for Alessandro Cortini (ex-NIN) coming up.
In a video interview with Side-Line Magazine in Oslo backstage during the ElektroStat festival, Alan Wilder has announced plans for a live film of the recent "Strange Hour" tour. The material was shot in Budapest at the end of last year in super HD and if all goes as planned the material should hit the stores in early 2012.
Alan Wilder also recorded two covers (and not just one: read also Talk talk tribute album featuring Alan Wilder (Recoil)) of Talk talk for an upcoming Talk Talk tribute album which should come out in Spring 2012. The covers are "Dum Dum Girl" (1984) and "Inheritance" (1988), the latter was recorded together with the UK-based dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. More details on these two covers can be heard in the interview video here or below.
And the revelations didn't just stop there. During the interview Wilder also announced that he's also doing a remix for Alessandro Cortini, an Italian musician best known for touring and recording with Nine Inch Nails from 2004 to 2008. Currently, Cortini is also the frontman for the Los Angeles based electronic-alternative band Sonoio and that's the project Wilder made a remix for.
There is one more gig to come for Recoil at Sinner's Day in Belgium at the end of October.
More ElektroStat reporting will be published in the next few days with pictures, audio, interviews and so on. As a teaser, here's an impression of the Recoil set (or check below) and the excellent ambiance inside the venue, a lovely renovated factory in the center of Oslo.
RECOIL LIVE CONCERT FILM : ‘A Strange Hour in Budapest’ – release news
Plans are almost complete to make available a concert film from Recoil, entitled ‘A Strange Hour in Budapest’. ‘A Strange Hour’ was presented during 2010 & 2011 in 52 cities across the world as part of the Selected Events tour to celebrate 25 years of the Recoil project. Says Alan: “The idea to take Recoil out on the road evolved during the release of ‘Selected’ in 2010. The events were not so much ‘live’ band but more art installation featuring stripped down, edited sections from many Recoil remixes and alternative versions. For the presentations, I managed to gather together filmmakers from as far as Russia, via the Czech Republic and Hungary, all the way to Argentina. The second Budapest presentation (and last of 2010) was held in the beautiful newly-renovated Szikra venue. To celebrate this end of year special show we decided to install an extra large fully professional cinema screen and projector. The performance was filmed by Attila Herkó and his team using the latest high-definition technology in order to capture the event in its full glory. I think you will agree the results are stunning and offer a captivating and exhilarating document of ‘A Strange Hour’.” The proposed package will feature the full concert film, running at approximately 84 minutes in HD resolution and with 5.1 & stereo audio options. Also included will be some extra promo films and live projections. It has been decided to limit the format to Blu-ray only for a couple of reasons – the main being that the film works infinitely better at its highest resolution and we don’t want to compromise this aspect. Secondly, Blu-ray players are cheap and simple to install these days. If you haven’t upgraded yet, now is the time to do so! In due course we will recommend a few of our favourite machines at varying budgets. The exact release date has yet to be determined but we hope to announce this very soon. Title: A Strange Hour in Budapest Produced, directed & edited by : Attila Herkó for Umatik Stereo & 5.1 soundtrack : Alan Wilder & Paul Kendall Main film : 1920 x 1080p High Definition, 16 x 9 Audio : Dolby Digital 5.1, Stereo 2.0 We will bring you further details about the release and how to purchase soon.

К сожалению я знаю что это левак, большой Брат, но приятно, всё таки Алан и Блю рей коробка (Алан всю коллекцию Depeche Mode продал ради неё) и про Мутных я тоже в курсе, но всё так не определенно, я верю глазам по итогу и рукам, держащим раритет.
