There are 4 mixes of "Behind the Wheel", once of which is by Nile
Rodgers (Chic fame). This is another maxi-single in a series devoted to giving all aspiring
DJ's value for the dollar/pick the mix for the dance floor pulse. Also 3 mixes of "Route 66", one of which is 10:42 mins. long. Now that's worth getting up on the dance floor for!
Amidst all the synthesizer noise from Martin Gore, Dave Gahan pays
vocal homage to a famous American road, upon which Depeche Mode probably
travelled as he tried to reach the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. (1988)
For normal mortals this might be one of the best maxi singles out there.
Can you imagine life without Depeche Mode?

Pull my strings...
I'm particularly fond of the Shep Pettibone mix, because of how stripped (no pun intended) Dave Gahan's vocals are on that one. Behind the Wheel is one of DM's best songs, and all the remixes here are fantastic. His voice sounds very soft and pure, which makes the song that much more beautiful.

While Route 66 is not my favorite song, I thought it was an interesting addition, and the remixes are pretty good (for that, I think the Beatmasters mix really stands out).

All in all, this is a great single, and would make an excellent addition to anyone's Depeche Mode collection.


Driving 2 fast, but it is GREAT....
This Maxi Cd is great, yet hazardous to your health especially at 90 MPH. A Remix That when "Behind The Wheel on Route 66" you will find your self driving 90 (+) MPH. But seriously this is a classic song, and the mixes, do it pure Justice.
Jason Prof DJ.


Great tunes for a long drive
Cool tunes 7 songs about 40+minutes og classic 80's rock.


Take a Trip!

one of the best covers of Route 66 by any band is on this CD. A real nice job of puting together the music on this CD.
