I think we used the Wasp and Spider sequencer and then probably sampled the result, as it isn't MIDI controllable. We may have been able to sequence it using cv/gate – I can't quite remember.

Martin Gore in Bong issue no. 37, 1998: "I think that 'Never Let Me Down Again' is one of our classic old time tracks."

I think we used the Wasp and Spider sequencer and then probably sampled the result, as it isn't MIDI controllable. We may have been able to sequence it using cv/gate – I can't quite remember.

Fan Peter Harper wrote on the HOME forum in 2003:

"I once asked Martin Gore about the fact that [Never Let Me Down Again's] guitar intro was borrowed by the band 'Third Bass' on their track "Wordz Of Wizdom, Pt. 2". After Depeche Mode heard it they were impressed with the way that it had been reversed and distorted the way 'Third Bass' did. So Depeche Mode knicked it back off the 'Third Bass' record, and the new distorted and reversed sample was added to the version of 'Never Let Me Down Again' that was performed in 1990 [on the World Violation tour], and it works really well. To those who don't know what to look for: its in the aggro part of the song, it's quite loud in the mix - it's very staggered. You probably need to hear the 'Third Bass' track to really notice, it's very prominent on that."
