The entire concept for the single release of 'Behind The Wheel' is centered around the theme of motor travel, from the opening sample of a spinning saucepan lid designed to sound like a hub-cap, through to the B-side - a strange hybrid cover of the classic 'Route 66' which included the middle 8 from the A-side. Apart from its obvious vehicular connotations, Alan reveals that this cover was also chosen because Martin didn't have any original songs to use at the time. Together with large parts of sampled live performance, the track displayed a commonly used but seldom remarked upon DM vocal device - an identical melodic line sung by Martin an octave above Dave, to provide depth to the main lyric without detracting from it. This approach was more likely to have been employed to 'flesh out' the chorus sections of a song but unusually in 'Behind The Wheel', it is present from the start and provides a unique sense of urgency to the first verse. The single version was remixed, somewhat disappointingly, by Shep Pettibone and the promo was shot by Anton Corbijn in Italy.
