"Never Allow Me Down Once more" is a vocal past English language electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released as the second unmarried from their sixth studio album, Music for the Masses (1987), on 24 August 1987. It reached No. 22 in the UK, No. 2 in West Germany, and the top-10 in several other European countries such as Sweden and Switzerland. The cover art features fragments of a Soviet map of Russian federation and Europe, with different fragments used for the different editions of the single.

Composition [edit]

One-time member Alan Wilder and the other members of the band considered the rails an "obvious single" with much potential. They developed information technology throughout and then that dramatic-blazon elements such as the Led Zeppelin-influenced drum patterns and Martin Gore'south distinctive guitar riffs sound in the forefront.[three] The lyrics of the song, starting with the strident vocals of "I'k taking a ride with my best friend", are generally regarded as reflecting drug use,[4] [iii] with the track being labelled past NME music journalist Jane Solanas as a "masterpiece" that well conveys the feeling of "drug euphoria".[3]

The coda of "Never Let Me Downwardly Again" references Soft Cell's vocal "Torch".[4] The main remix version of the track, known as the "Carve up Mix", came virtually with direct involvement from the ring. The 12" maxi release stretched to exactly nine and a half minutes long. Oddly enough, despite the pleasing results from the point of view of the band, that proved to be the last time in decades that a remix came out with their direct interest.[3]

Live performances [edit]

The song became a favourite amongst fans, especially alive. Shows during Depeche Fashion'southward 1988 bout were oft concluded with this song. Notable in the 101 video is when Dave Gahan waves his arms in the air toward the terminate of the song, and the sold-out crowd of lx,000 mimics Gahan'south movements. It is now customary at Depeche Way shows for fans to wave their arms in the air during the coda section of "Never Let Me Downwards Again", which the German mag Music Express has termed a "wind in a cornfield" simulation.[five]

During the 1990 World Violation Bout, the band played a different version of the song, known as the "Split Mix", including their massive live performances at the Giants and Dodger Stadiums, which were being circulate live on MTV.

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

Remixes [edit]

The primary 12" remix of "Never Permit Me Down Again" is known as the "Separate Mix", as stated above, and the 9-and-a-half-minute track featured straight interest from the band during its creation.[3] In detail, the remix features the regular vocal, an added intro piece, and a techno-like musical arrangement appended at the end. The organisation was expanded to the "Aggro Mix" on the 12" B-side, a slice additionally bachelor equally a bonus track on the CD and cassette tape versions of Music for the Masses.

The "Carve up Mix" appears on the anthology collection Remixes 81–04, a release that came out in October 2004.[3] Some other remix of the track, done by the German group Digitalism, came out in 2006 every bit ane of the 'Digital Deluxe Bonus Tracks' found in The Best of Depeche Mode Book one (besides being released as a limited double vinyl 12" piece). That remix appears on the ring's remix compilation Remixes 2: 81–11 as well. Eric Prydz as well remixed the song for this anthology.

Music videos [edit]

There are two music videos for "Never Allow Me Down 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, before someone puts them on and wears them to dance. In that location is also a short video with just the single version of the song, which ends before the animated shoes. The short 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. "Pleasure, Little Treasure" is a short dance track. An extended version chosen the "Glitter Mix" ends with fragments of song recordings that have been reversed and treated with filibuster effects. Notably, some of these sounds tin be heard in the track "Mothers Talk" from the 1985 Tears for Fears album Songs from the Big Chair, which was engineered by Dave Bascombe. The "Glitter Mix" showed upwardly 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 Agree (Spanish Taster)". Martin Gore'due south original plan for the song sounded a lot like upbeat electropop, but Alan Wilder turned it into the dark wave rails it somewhen became. While Alan'south version was always set to exist the final version, Martin wanted his version to be recorded every bit well. However, non all of the lyrics are sung in the song. It shows up every bit 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 Take and To Hold" is one of the main tracks on the Music for the Masses LP.
