5.0 out of 5 stars Driving 2 fast, but it is GREAT...., January 11, 2005
A Remix That when "Behind The Wheel on Route 66" you will find your self driving 90 (+) MPH. This Maxi Cd is great, yet hazardous to your health especially at 90 MPH. But seriously this is a classic song, and the mixes, do it pure Justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST OF THE BEST, June 21, 2000
By A Customer
This is an excellent maxi - single, I love everything of depeche mode, it remembers me about my life as a teenager, but i also love its version of "route 66", it's great! If you like DM, and if you like "Behind the wheel" i only tell you to buy it, you'll never disagree with me!

4.0 out of 5 stars basildon bounce, January 24, 2009
By melkents "arpeggios" (Mississippi, USA) - See all my reviews
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.
There are 4 mixes of "Behind the Wheel", once of which is by Nile
Rodgers (Chic fame). 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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Pull my strings...
Behind the Wheel is one of DM's best songs, and all the remixes here are fantastic. I'm particularly fond of the Shep Pettibone mix, because of how stripped (no pun intended) Dave... Read more
