In 1997 Alan Wilder virtually cut all wires with his former mega-popular band and created what remains one of the finest albums of the 90s - Recoil's 'Unsound Methods'. Unlike previous work, where still-vivid Depeche echoed in his established solo project, 'Methods' were a considerable step forward; keeping the darker sound of "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" but adding edgy jazz-noir and ambient music structures to great effect, along with the impressive gospel and spoken-word type vocals - justifiably a great addition to one Massive Attack ('Mezzanine') and Portishead (their 1997 s/t album).

However, when 'Liquid' - literally a sequel - followed in 1999/2000, Recoil's surprise element established in "Unsound Methods" was audibly gone. Despite impressive deliveries by Diamanda Galas and The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet, Wilder's submission to blues now turned into a cliché he chose to exploit further without particular results.

With die-hard fans constantly wishing for new Recoil material, to some extent it probably affected Alan to continue - and in that, "SubHuman" does sound at best like indulging the fans; at worst it is a collection of leftovers he didn't know what to do with earlier. While it doesn't entirely hurt, for a producer of Wilder's calibre to deliver something as "SubHuman", especially after eight long years, is a letdown.
