On this day 30 years ago (when we were both toddlers) I sat down for the first of many conversation with Alan Wilder, who was still with Depeche Mode at that time. Alan told me he was the guy who spent the most time in the studio tinkering and obsessing on DM sounds then...
Alan was a member of Depeche Mode from 1982 to 1995 and now focuses on a project he started while he was still in the Mode called "Recoil"
Below is some video from when Alan first joined Depeche Mode and his most recent work with Recoil
