"Useless" is Depeche Mode 's thirty-fourth UK single, released on October 20 , 1997 , and the fourth and final single for the album '' Ultra ''. It was released with " Home " as a double A-side in the US due to "Useless" getting airplay on US radio stations before "Home" was even announced, so both were released at once. "Useless" is a hard-rock track in the vein of " Barrel Of A Gun ", with a more pop twist. The single remix, by Alan Moulder , changes the intro, has an updated beat (similar to the changes done to the 7" versions of Walking In My Shoes and Condemnation ) and adds some extra synth during the chorus. The "The Kruder + Dorfmeister Session" is a very prominent remix by the DJ duo of the same name. There are no actual B-sides for "Useless", except for remixes and live versions of itself, but on some CD versions you can put them in a PC or Mac and play the music videos for " Barrel Of A Gun " and " It's No Good ". The 1997 music video for "Useless" would be the last Depeche Mode video that was directed by Anton Corbijn for over eight years. Though he still did work for Depeche Mode on album/single covers and tour projections/designs, the band decided to expirement with new directors for music videos from then on until December 2005 when Anton filmed the video for " Suffer Well ".
