Bloodline is the third album by Recoil, released on April 14, 1992. It was recorded at Konk Studios in London, during sessions that lasted from January to March 1991, being mixed later that same year. The album was produced by Alan Wilder, engineered by Steve Lyon, and assisted by Dave Eringa.
After completing Depeche Mode's most successful album, Violator, and subsequent World Violation Tour (with Nitzer Ebb as the support act), Wilder co-produced Nitzer Ebb's 1991 album Ebbhead. This cemented both a good personal and working relationship with the band's lead singer Douglas McCarthy. After completing his work on Ebbhead, Wider shifted his focus to his solo project.
Bloodline was the first Recoil album to feature guest vocalists, with contributions from Moby, Toni Halliday of Curve, and McCarthy. McCarthy's vocals were featured on the album's first single, a cover of the Alex Harvey song "Faith Healer".
The album is also notable for the track "Electro Blues for Bukka White", which introduced the idea of taking very old recordings and setting them in a new electronic setting. Moby, who contributed vocals for the song "Curse", would later release his 1999 breakthrough album, Play, which arguably contains clear stylistic similarities to "Electro Blues for Bukka White". On Play, Moby used several old field recordings by Alan Lomax, much as Wilder had used a 1963 recording of White's "Shake 'Em on Down" on his own “electro blues”. The spoken elements in the track are taken from a recording titled “Remembrance of Charley Patton”. Both source recordings can currently be found on Bukka White’s Revisited album, released on Fuel 2000 in 2003.
