«Prey / Allelujah» (Enhanced CD)

Alan Wilder (Recoil) is pleased to announce, due to popular demand, «Prey / Allelujah» as Limited Edition CD single release on February 25th, 2008.

This Enhanced CD package includes «Prey» album and radio mixes, the reduction mix of «Allelujah» plus a never-before-seen film for «Allelujah», by Russian director Dmitry Semenov. It will also be accompanied by an exclusive downloadable electronic booklet (14-page booklet in a choice of 5 languages) featuring video stills, «subHuman» art and commentary from Alan Wilder, Hepzibah Sessa and Dmitry Semenov.

The CD is being issued, with the support of Mute, through Russian label Gala Records in conjunction with Russian fan-site www.depeche-mode.ru and is exclusively available to order only from this site. We highly recommend that you get your orders in quickly because only a limited number of these CDs are being produced

There is a competition, available to enter when ordering the disc. Prizes will include 5 exclusive signed printed copies of the booklet, vinyl copies of «subHuman», signed press shots and some other items.

Following on from a highly successful promotional trip to Moscow in December 2007, this release marks a unique collaboration between artist, fan website and record company. It has come about as a direct result of fan pressure - their demands having been acknowledged and responded to by the record industry. We believe it represents an innovative approach towards CD marketing and distribution in the future, given the current complexities of record buying trends and an industry which, frankly, is in crisis.

You can pre-order this single - here!

Please note, even though this limited CD is technically a Russia-only release, we have decided to accept all international orders. As such, demand is expected to be high so, to guarantee your purchase, we must insist that full payment is made at the time of your order (10 euros plus post & packaging)

Recoil would like to thank Gala Records for their forward thinking, Konstantin Zavodnik for his initiative and Olga Golovan & Oleg Gorbachev for their work on the booklet. A mention must also go to the depmod.com team who added weight to the entire cause with their 'We Pray for «Prey»' campaign launched last June, specifically asking for the CD release.
