Cover for the limited edition single

The B-sides are remixes of "Death's Door" and "Rush", and some live tracks from the Devotional Tour. "Death's Door" was a song from the 1991 Until the End of the World soundtrack. The original version, recorded by Martin Gore and Alan Wilder after the World Violation Tour was over, was exclusive to that album until the 2020s MODE box compilation.


Critical reception


Music writer James Masterton described the song as "a haunting, beautiful ballad of the type they do so well" in his weekly UK chart commentary.[3] Alan Jones from Music Week rated it four out of five. He wrote, "One of the more atypical singles in Depeche Mode's career, this slow gospel-style song bears a lusty, full force vocal, but a reverential and reserved instrumental track. Subtle and stylish."[4]


Music video


A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Dutch photographer, film director and music video director Anton Corbijn.[5] It was published on YouTube in July 2019.[6]

For unknown reasons, the music video did not appear on Depeche Mode's music video compilation, The Videos 86-98, in 1998, replaced by the live version from Devotional. The original video eventually resurfaced on The Videos 86-98's 2002 re-release (The Videos 86-98+). Both videos appear on the Devotional DVD re-release in 2004 (although the "Condemnation Live" video was edited so that it wasn't identical to the one in the main Devotional movie).
