Notes

Tim Simenon said in the Depeche Mode special of Classic Pop magazine, published on 1 August 2019:

Yeah, ["Jazz Thieves" and "Uselink" were meant to be instrumental]. We wanted links between tracks to give the album more atmosphere. I spent an afternoon at Daniel [Miller]'s house with his amazing collection of synths, processing a bunch of stuff. We built up loops which we ended up using on the album.
