Today we exclusively publish an open letter from Alan Wilder (Recoil, ex-Depeche Mode), titled "Music For The Masses - I think not", in which Wilder handles his vision on today's shifting music market and the position of the artist in this. Originally intended to be an interview, it quickly turned into a small essay in which Wilder touches the volume war, the effect of excessive compression, the download spiral, alternative ways to release music, the birth of the fan powered release of the limited enhanced single 'Prey'/'Allelujah' in Russia, Mute Records, Depeche Mode, and much more.
This open letter offers you a unique insight in the music vision of Alan Wilder, one of the most influential musicians from the electronic scene. We encourage you to leave your comments, your point of view and thoughts! Check here to read the open letter. (Picture by Paul Heartfield)
