''[[Violator]]'' engineer Pino Pischetola describes the origin of these samples in Kevin May and David McElroy's 2022 book ''Halo: The Story Behind Depeche Mode's Classic Album Violator'':
<blockquote>
During another mix of "Personal Jesus", I remember {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Kevorkian François}} listened to it many times and then he had this idea to put American-style preachers as a sample. That’s what became [the] "The Lord Jesus Christ himself" sample. In order to get that, François called a friend in Los Angeles that had a recording of everything you might want. So he calls him late at night and says, "Listen, I need something very quick. Something with preachers speaking." And his friend says, "Okay. I will FedEx it to you in a couple of hours." So two days later, using what must have used the fastest courier in the world [...] we got a cassette from LA with all the preachers on it. We spent two hours listening to all the preachers and different phrases, and then François picked up on that one and a few others to put into a sampler and fly in the song at a certain moment. That was really a fun thing to do.<ref>Kevin May, David McElroy. ''Halo: The Story Behind Depeche Mode's Classic Album Violator''. (Grosvenor House Publishing, 2022) p. 112</ref>

''[[Violator]]'' engineer Pino Pischetola describes the origin of these samples in Kevin May and David McElroy's 2022 book ''Halo: The Story Behind Depeche Mode's Classic Album Violator'':
<blockquote>
During another mix of "Personal Jesus", I remember {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Kevorkian François}} listened to it many times and then he had this idea to put American-style preachers as a sample. That’s what became [the] "The Lord Jesus Christ himself" sample. In order to get that, François called a friend in Los Angeles that had a recording of everything you might want. So he calls him late at night and says, "Listen, I need something very quick. Something with preachers speaking." And his friend says, "Okay. I will FedEx it to you in a couple of hours." So two days later, using what must have used the fastest courier in the world [...] we got a cassette from LA with all the preachers on it. We spent two hours listening to all the preachers and different phrases, and then François picked up on that one and a few others to put into a sampler and fly in the song at a certain moment. That was really a fun thing to do.<ref>Kevin May, David McElroy. ''Halo: The Story Behind Depeche Mode's Classic Album Violator''. (Grosvenor House Publishing, 2022) p. 112</ref>

Terms used in this article

In audio production, sampling refers to the use of a portion (or sample) from a sound within another recording. During Alan Wilder's tenure with the group, Depeche Mode were among the most prolific acts to make use of sampling technology within a traditional pop music format. Following his departure from Depeche Mode in 1995, Wilder would continue to employ sampling as a means to enhance the atmosphere of his music through the Recoil project, including passages of contemporary music, film soundtracks, sample library audio, and samples from his past work with Depeche Mode. The analysis of these sample sources and how they are manipulated is a popular topic of discussion amongst fans of both groups.

Information

This page aims to document all verifiable sound sources utilised by Alan Wilder in the production of the 2007 Recoil album SubHuman.

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 Alan Wilder for the Recoil music project, 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.

If necessary, God would raise up a tyrant. A man who might not have the best ethics to protect the freedom interests of the ethical and the godly."

Violator engineer Pino Pischetola describes the origin of these samples in Kevin May and David McElroy's 2022 book Halo: The Story Behind Depeche Mode's Classic Album Violator:

During another mix of "Personal Jesus", I remember François listened to it many times and then he had this idea to put American-style preachers as a sample. That’s what became [the] "The Lord Jesus Christ himself" sample. In order to get that, François called a friend in Los Angeles that had a recording of everything you might want. So he calls him late at night and says, "Listen, I need something very quick. Something with preachers speaking." And his friend says, "Okay. I will FedEx it to you in a couple of hours." So two days later, using what must have used the fastest courier in the world [...] we got a cassette from LA with all the preachers on it. We spent two hours listening to all the preachers and different phrases, and then François picked up on that one and a few others to put into a sampler and fly in the song at a certain moment. That was really a fun thing to do.[2]
