'Recoil' is Alan Wilder, ex-Depeche Mode, who enjoys great admiration from Johnny Marr:
"The early eighties were actually pretty good for me. I was 16 / 17 in 1980 and I liked a lot of new stuff at the time - for example Matt Johnson's first album, 'Burning Blue Soul', Gang Of Four, some Cabaret Voltaire, Joy Division and Joseph K were good. The media loves to take cultural snapshots of time and serve them up as fact. They just look at the mainstream, which is generally pretty naff in any decade."
Read the exclusive mini-interview on Shunt (official Recoil website).
