After a five year break to concentrate on family and home life, Alan Wilder returned to his studio project, Recoil, in September 2005.  His first priority was to update 'The Thin Line' and re-aquaint himself with the business of writing, arranging and recording music.  In the fast-moving world of technology, five years out of the loop can seem like an eternity. 

I'd literally forgotten how to work most of the equipment!  Mainly operating the software, like 'Logic Audio'.  My computer was also well out of date as was most of the software installed on it.
