List of Recoil sample sources by album/Unsound Methods

Glossary 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.

The phrases sampled for use in the "Poison Dub" of "Drifting" include: "I had a nervous breakdown then. And I went through six psychiatrists becore the sixth one finally decided that she could probably help me [laughs]"; "[...] and yet they go out and become drug addicts. And they try drugs, they try alcohol, they try sex. And when it's all wiped out and you've had it all, you know, life falls apart." 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.	Click to display/hide audio example
