Oddly plenty, despite the pleasing results from the point of view of the band, that proved to be the last fourth dimension in decades that a remix came out with their direct involvement.^[three]

Alive performances [edit]

The vocal became a favourite amidst fans, especially live. Shows during Depeche Mode'south 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 end of the song, and the sold-out crowd of sixty,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 Down Again", which the German magazine Music Limited has termed a "wind in a cornfield" simulation.^[5]

The arrangement was expanded to the "Aggro Mix" on the 12" B-side, a piece additionally available as a bonus track on the CD and cassette record versions of Music for the Masses.

The "Divide Mix" appears on the album drove Remixes 81–04, a release that came out in Oct 2004.^[iii] Another remix of the rails, done by the German group Digitalism, came out in 2006 equally one of the 'Digital Deluxe Bonus Tracks' institute in The Best of Depeche Style Volume 1 (also being released every bit a limited double vinyl 12" piece). That remix appears on the ring's remix compilation Remixes 2: 81–11 likewise. Eric Prydz also remixed the vocal for this anthology.
