Martin has contributed to the new Bomb The Bass album “Back To Light”. The song “Milakia”, originally written during the “Ultra” era, has now been included on the new Bomb The Bass album. From Tim Simenon: “It’s a track I’ve always loved, but could never find a home for, really. It seemed like a perfect closer for this (new) album”.

Martin co-wrote the song, and plays synth on the track as well.

Jag såg Skinny Puppy i oktober 1986 på Stadt Hamburg i Malmö; en minnesvärd upplevelse. Ska bli kul att se dom igen!

Side Line: The promo that you do for Recoil online or offline, is always very soft, like in the video for the Depeche Mode website because of the short ‘live reunion’ set during the Royal Albert Hall charity concert, you don’t even mention your own project…

Alan Wilder: Well, I’m not naive, I understand that it is good promotion for me but I also genuinely enjoyed the experience of doing that. It was good timing but there’s no need for a ‘hard sell’. I also think it was good promotion for Depeche Mode, possibly giving them back some credibility and showing that they have some humility in them.

I also realise that the name ‘Depeche Mode’ is sometimes used to promote my Recoil project. This is never my doing. For example, it is often used by promoters to communicate the ‘Selected’ tour (but not at my suggestion or insistence). Anyway, some people are maybe just turning up because of my history, but that’s ok in my book. Some are more into Recoil. I just hope that, whatever their motivations, what they see will impress them in some way.
