1 + 2 is the debut album by Recoil, released in August 1986. The CD and cassette version were released two years later with Recoil's second release, Hydrology.

Alan 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.[2] 1 + 2, his first collection of demos, though completed in the early 1980s, was inconspicuously released as a Twelve-inch EP the same year as his band Depeche Mode's fifth studio album, Black Celebration.[3]

Re-release[edit]

The CD of Hydrology Plus 1 + 2 was re-released in 2007, again on Mute Records. The track listing and artwork remain the same.

Track listing[edit]

All tracks are written by Alan Wilder.

Credits and personnel[edit]

Sample sources[edit]

The recording is largely built upon samples of other music, primarily by other Mute Records artists, to avoid legal issues during an era when such approach to music-making was not overtly common.

The samples include the following:
