"Never Allow Me Down Again" is a song past English electronic music band Depeche Mode. Information technology was released equally the second unmarried from their 6th studio album, Music for the Masses (1987), on 24 August 1987. It reached No. 22 in the UK, No. two in West Germany, and the top-x in several other European countries such every bit Sweden and Switzerland. The cover art features fragments of a Soviet map of Russia and Europe, with unlike fragments used for the different editions of the single.

Composition [edit]

Erstwhile member Alan Wilder and the other members of the band considered the track an "obvious unmarried" with much potential. They developed it throughout so that dramatic-blazon elements such every bit the Led Zeppelin-influenced drum patterns and Martin Gore's distinctive guitar riffs sound in the forefront.[3] The lyrics of the song, starting with the strident vocals of "I'm taking a ride with my best friend", are generally regarded equally reflecting drug use,[4] [iii] with the track being labelled by NME music journalist Jane Solanas equally a "masterpiece" that well conveys the feeling of "drug euphoria".[3]

The coda of "Never Allow Me Downward Again" references Soft Cell's vocal "Torch".[4] The main remix version of the track, known as the "Carve up Mix", came well-nigh with direct involvement from the ring. The 12" maxi release stretched to exactly ix and a one-half minutes long. Oddly enough, despite the pleasing results from the indicate of view of the band, that proved to be the terminal time in decades that a remix came out with their direct interest.[three]

Live performances [edit]

The song became a favourite among fans, particularly alive. Shows during Depeche Manner'southward 1988 tour were often concluded with this song. Notable in the 101 video is when Dave Gahan waves his arms in the air toward the finish of the song, and the sold-out crowd of 60,000 mimics Gahan's movements. It is now customary at Depeche Mode shows for fans to wave their arms in the air during the coda section of "Never Let Me Downwardly Again", which the German magazine Music Limited has termed a "wind in a cornfield" simulation.[5]

During the 1990 Earth Violation Tour, the band played a different version of the song, known as the "Split Mix", including their massive alive performances at the Giants and Dodger Stadiums, which were existence broadcast live on MTV.

On 8 November 2001, shortly subsequently their concluding Exciter Tour concert in Mannheim, Deutschland, the band played "Never Let Me Down Once more" during the MTV Europe Music Awards in Frankfurt, which aired in the US on MTV2.

Remixes [edit]

The main 12" remix of "Never Let Me Down Once again" is known every bit the "Split Mix", as stated above, and the ix-and-a-half-infinitesimal track featured direct involvement from the ring during its creation.[iii] In detail, the remix features the regular song, an added intro piece, and a techno-like musical arrangement appended at the end. The arrangement was expanded to the "Aggro Mix" on the 12" B-side, a slice additionally bachelor as a bonus track on the CD and cassette tape versions of Music for the Masses.

The "Split Mix" appears on the anthology collection Remixes 81–04, a release that came out in October 2004.[3] Another remix of the track, washed by the German group Digitalism, came out in 2006 as i of the 'Digital Deluxe Bonus Tracks' found in The Best of Depeche Style Volume i (as well being released as a limited double vinyl 12" piece). That remix appears on the band's remix compilation Remixes 2: 81–11 likewise. Eric Prydz also remixed the song for this album.

Music videos [edit]

In that location are two music videos for "Never Allow Me Down Over again", directed by Anton Corbijn. The long version is featured on the Strange video, and uses the "Split Mix" (minus the intro and outro) and during the later EBM portion of the song, Gahan's shoes are shown walking without anyone wearing them, earlier someone puts them on and wears them to dance. In that location is besides a short video with just the single version of the song, which ends before the animated shoes. The curt version appears on The Videos 86>98, the DVD of The Best of Depeche Mode Book 1 and on Video Singles Collection.

B-sides [edit]

There are two B-sides. "Pleasance, Little Treasure" is a short dance track. An extended version called the "Glitter Mix" ends with fragments of song recordings that have been reversed and treated with delay effects. Notably, some of these sounds tin can be heard in the rail "Mothers Talk" from the 1985 Tears for Fears album Songs from the Big Chair, which was engineered by Dave Bascombe. The "Glitter Mix" showed up as a bonus rails on the CD/Cassette versions of Music for the Masses and in remastered form on the 2006 CD/DVD release.

The rarer B-side is "To Have and To Hold (Spanish Taster)". Martin Gore's original plan for the song sounded a lot similar upbeat electropop, but Alan Wilder turned it into the dark wave rail it eventually became. While Alan's version was always set to be the final version, Martin wanted his version to exist recorded also. However, not all of the lyrics are sung in the song. It shows upwards as one of the bonus tracks on the CD/Cassette version of Music for the Masses and is on the CD versions of "Never Let Me Down Again". The regular version of "To Accept and To Hold" is 1 of the master tracks on the Music for the Masses LP.
