In audio production, '''sampling''' refers to the use of a portion (or sample) from a sound recording within another recording. As pioneers of the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_music electronic music}} {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre genre}} in the early 1980s, [[Depeche Mode]] with [[Alan Wilder]] were among the most prolific acts to make use of {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music) sampling}} technology within a traditional {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music pop music}} format. Among the thousands of original samples recorded and utilized by Depeche Mode to enhance the atmosphere of their musical output are many that originated elsewhere, including brief passages of musical recordings by other artists, snippets of audio from television shows, radio broadcasts, films, environmental sounds, and more. Analysis of these '''sample sources''' and how they are manipulated is a popular topic of discussion amongst fans of the group.

Upon his departure from [[Depeche Mode]] in 1995, Wilder would expand upon the creative sampling techniques he perfected through the years as a member of Depeche Mode for his [[Recoil]] music project, utilising sampled audio from contemporary music, films, film soundtracks, and samples from his past work with Depeche Mode.

This page aims to document all verifiable sound sources for many of the musical parts utilised by Alan Wilder for the [[Recoil]] music project in the production of its [[:Category:Recoil albums|studio albums]], official remixes, [[:Category:2010-2011 Selected Events Tour|live performances]], and other works.
 
Due to the manipulated nature of the samples described in this article, there is unavoidable potential for error or sample misattribution. To ensure accuracy, this article strives to use verified quotes from band members and recording personnel with citations wherever possible, audio examples, and independent research voluntarily contributed by Depeche Mode and Recoil fans across the world. This article serves to provide an interesting document on this topic in a tabular format that is organized, well-researched, and reasonably accurate.  '''Please bear in mind that due to the limited number of relevant quotes for each sample from band members or associates involved in the production of the music described on this page, audio samples that lack official confirmation are not guaranteed to be accurate.'''
 
This article differentiates samples by their origin: '''Self-made samples''', which describes any material originally recorded by Depeche Mode or Recoil, and '''Sourced samples''', which describe samples which were not originally recorded by either group. In addition to confirmed samples, this article also covers samples that are commonly misreported as having been used but have been directly refuted by a member or associate of Depeche Mode or Recoil.

== <i>Ebbhead</i> (Nitzer Ebb album) ==
 
Between the conclusion of the [[:Category:1990 World Violation Tour|World Violation Tour]] and the recording of ''[[Songs Of Faith And Devotion]]'', [[Alan Wilder]] would enter London's KONK Studios to record Recoil's ''[[Bloodline]]'' between January and March 1991. A month later, he would return to the studio to produce Depeche Mode support act Nitzer Ebb's ''Ebbhead'' record in collaboration with producer [[Flood]] and mix engineer [[Steve Lyon]]. As was characteristic of his work in Depeche Mode and Recoil, Wilder would employ samples from a wide variety of sources in the production of ''Ebbhead''.
 
Nitzer Ebb's Bon Harris on Wilder's musical prowess in 1991: "Alan has a very musical ear. He's classically trained, so he knows what he's doing when it comes to melody, but has no tolerance for pop - that's quite a good combination."<ref> Source: [https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-RandR/1990s/1991/RR-1991-07-05.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3TO7hG8RsWxZVVK0O6h0k82la4HyoAQl85shlWHc-qURs4XWnnfckFFuU American Radio History : Archive: 1991-07-05]</ref>

His brother in Clarksdale - have a brother that work at The Compress. And I said, if I ever lived to get half way grown or grown, I would wanna be just like Charlie Patton was. And after I heard about his death, after I got right near grown, I would have liked at that time to met the one that caused him to have that dead. 'Cause he was a great boy. And ah, he used to play - a number by 'Old blue jumped the rabbit and they runnin' one sold mile. When the rabbit fell dead, he cried just like a child, and you know I felt so good over that I quit eatin' rabbit 'cause them rabbit - you know, do holler when the dog catch up to 'em. He could bit in a newborn baby, and they was screamin' and cryin' and ah, after I hear Charlie Patton went on and play that number, I 'cide I just stop eat rabbit. If had my dog catch 'em and I take away from 'em. And so as I went on to say, you know Clarksdale is a little old small town that-a-way, a lot of good boys been in there. But in traveling through them little small town like that, a good thing I found a good man can do is take it easy and take his time and don't fool with things that you don't have that's not worthwhile you don't have time even to fool around with. Just take life easy, 'cause ev'rything shine like gold, and gold you know - they's a lot of brass - you know, shine like gold. And so Charlie Patton used to sing that song about hitch up my buggy and saddle up my black mare, and I hear, would just knock me off my feet. I was bare-feeted, little bare-feeted boy, too, and I like it so well after I growed up, the first record I put out when I was comin' up about downtown women sickin' them dogs on me, I was one that kinda compare with it. Ah, I think I made a pretty good hit on that! But now, I done forgot I don't play it so much, but at that time he was goin' so good, you know? And ah, if he's got any friends or relative, his mother or father wherever might be to hear me sayin' that I just wanna let 'em know that: 'Old remember, never do be forgotten.' Things that then went on, you know. So, I 'gratulates to it, to all his friends, his cousins, to ev'rything, I tried to be the second behind old Big Charlie Patton. He really did, and to tell you the truth, the first drank of whiskey that I ever drank, Charlie Patton give me a little in a spoon. He said, 'You're too young to drink too much whiskey, but I'm gonna give you enough to know what it's about.}}
