1+2 is a Recoil studio EP, released in August 1986.
1+2 was Alan Wilder's first solo release away from Depeche Mode. The CD and cassette version were released two years later with Recoil's second release, Hydrology.
Wilder had always experimented with his own ideas, but when Daniel Miller heard some demos (recorded on a Portastudio, a 4-track cassette machine) and asked to reproduce them, Recoil became a musical entity. The early recordings show Wilder's position as a pioneer in sampling technology and demonstrated how he could completely change the Depeche Mode sound into something new[1].
1 + 2, his first collection of demos, though completed in the early 1980s, was inconspicuously released as a 12" EP the same year as Depeche Mode's top five album, Black Celebration[2].
