One of the first 'SOFAD' tracks to be recorded and one that went through many incarnations, together with 'In Your Room', 'Walking' is probably the best example of the new multi-layered DM sound. The more organic feel was created with the use of live bass and guitar plus a dynamic string arrangement and a series of different drum loops, blended with both new and old Mode techniques. The E-bow guitar (playing the end melody) endowed the track with a haunting quality which was also evident in Dave's voice mirroring the distorted piano and harpsichord riff. Electro elements were still present but their role had shifted and they were used more in the form of bubbling synth parts to provide atmospherics rather than to carry lead melodies. The result was a unique emotional experience. The accompanying B-side was a remix of 'My Joy', a track recorded in Hamburg that had once been earmarked for the LP but failed to make it onto the final track list. "It was going to be on SOFAD at one point but we didn't think it was strong enough in the end. It was mixed by Steve Lyon and myself. I reconfigured the track for the 12" version, with Steve engineering." Following on from Brian Eno's reworking of 'I Feel You' (The Swamp mix), Johnny Dollar contributed a version of 'Walking' (Grungy Gonads mix) with additional scratches supplied by Geoff Barrow from Portishead, thus providing two of the most innovative remixes Depeche Mode has ever seen.
