[[Alan Wilder]] comments on the production of this interlude in the <i>Violator</i> section of the [[Recoil]] [http://oldsite.recoil.co.uk/forum/qa/dmems2.htmShunt Q&A section]:
<blockquote>
"Dave plays a unique form of guitar. He has his own 'special' style. We used some of his playing as sound effects in one of the crossfade sections of 'Violator'."
</blockquote>
This interlude features the first known example of a non-vocal, non songwriting-focused musical contribution by [[Dave Gahan]], and the second known example of a vocal delivery by [[Andrew Fletcher]] featured on a Depeche Mode album (the first being a backing vocal heard during the outro of '[[The Sun & The Rainfall]]').
