      Favorite band of all time. 5-Star track from DM! One of the things that blew me away is watching the concert from '88 at the RoseBowl in Pasadena..wish that time travel was possible because that night felt like a religious experience even watching it through video (take the time and watch if you haven't seen the whole show).

        Oh hell. If I had to pick one of my 20 Depeche Mode 12" singles to line the cat box this would surely be the one. I might do it anyway. Even the lyrics are completely braindead.
        From other synth-pop bands this might have been a highlight. But from Depeche Mode it's pretty disappointing.

        The Ivan Ivan "megadull" mixes are ok. Even Shep Pettibone's remix is restrained to the point of sounding natural. But the Beatmasters get behind the wheel and go right into a ditch.

        Idea for a remix: add lots of samples of phones ringing, a guy saying "hello operator" and "hello", a woman saying "hello" and "who's there?" Yeah, groovy! Do it a lot in case people miss it. It's got nothing to do with the song, there's not even a phone call in the lyrics! Wrong, idiots. ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE! Stupid shit like this taught me to avoid certain "additional remix and production" jerkoffs right away. Eventually I gave up completely.

        If you like phones, try Kraftwerk's "The Telephone Call" from the previous year (1986). At least their use of samples makes sense thematically.
