Notes
Producer Mark Bell told Keys Magazin (translated from German):
"'Dream on' consists mainly of two guitar lines. We used nylon strings for the first and steel strings for the second line. Both lines were recorded very close to the microphone to receive a lot of noise and this special "pump effect". When you play acoustic guitars very softly, you get a lot of strange tones and noises, which make it sound almost electronic. We had one guitar line with the right groove. And we worked with it as if it was a loop. We adjusted the other line with the PlugIn Vocalign. It was like a live performance, but with a very tight timing."
Mark Bell said in the May 2001 issue of Keyboard magazine:
"We treated the electronic sounds in 'Dream On' with the same respect as the acoustic ones. I find it really boring when electronic things are treated as if they're from the future, with all that phasing and bouncing silly shit all over the place. This one was really honest with the complete live performances intact, with decorative electronics adding to the pace and the narrative of the song."
In the same magazine, Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore are asked by Robert L. Doerschuk:
Doerschuk: "On your single, 'Dream On', there's one detail that caught my attention: Right before you go into the verse and after the bridge, two little synthesizer blips pop up. Why was it important to drop them into the arrangement?"
Gore: "They're hooks."
Fletcher: "They're strange, and oddly melodic. They were created on the Nord Lead and the Synthi, I believe."
