Depeche Mode - Something To Do (Black Town Edobot Remix)

"Something To Do" is a song from the 1984 album Some Great Reward by Depeche Mode.

When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the 101 CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine Best, Alan Wilder said (translated from French):

"It's always difficult to choose the songs you're going to play in concert. There are a lot of things to consider. Generally, we make a list of suggestions and then we talk for hours. We do not necessarily keep the songs that we prefer. We take the ones that go well together, that form a coherent whole and that will keep the audience in suspense for an hour and a half. Given this notion, we can afford to slip in a track like "Something To Do" which people may not necessarily know, but which does not break the rhythm of the concert."

At the beginning of this track, an "arr, arr" sound can be heard that can be heard throughout "Blasphemous Rumours" as well. When Wilder was asked about this on Shunt, he replied: "I can't really remember exactly - you are asking me about a sound made about 14 years ago! It sounds like it was a piece of speech put through a modular synth (possibly some other effects) and distorted. I would think it was then sampled and reproduced from either the Emulator or Synclavier."
