Video for Recoil cover of Talk Talk song 'Inheritance'

A brand new film has been made to accompany Recoil's "Inheritance" (featuring Linton Kwesi Johnson and Paul Marshall). The video was shot in Moscow and directed and edited by Dmitry Semenov who was also responsible for many of the images from "A Strange Hour". You can view the complete film right here or right after the jump.

Says Alan: "I just sent the track to Dmitry, offering up a few of my own thoughts, but basically giving him a free reign to interpret the music and words in any way he saw fit. He sent me his rough ideas and work-in-progress, and I gave some feedback about the images I thought worked best. We tried to create two very different atmospheres to compliment the dark oppressive feel of the verses contrasted against the more epic, expansive chorus - hence the switch from claustrophobic interiors into open space and white snow as the film comes to its conclusion."



"Inheritance" is one of two tracks - the other being a cover of "Dum Dum Girl" - which Recoil has contributed to "Spirit Of Talk Talk". Note that Dean Garcia (bass), ex-Curve, played on this track as well. Garcia also played on Recoil's "Liquid" album back in 2000.
