    It's not even a sample, it's an original vocal take just for this song. She first came to the attention of Alan Wilder when Depeche Mode were looking for singers for the LP and she did such a good job that they took her on the road for 18 months. Alan never forgot that voice and decided to invite Hildia to appear as a Recoil guest for his 'Unsound Methods' LP. Hildia was responsible for the cold, blues vocals on 'Red River Cargo' and 'Last Breath'. Since the end of the 'Devotional' tour in 1994, Hildia has been active in her local church choir as well as continuing with her session work. She has also performed in various West End musicals.

    I wrote the following while listening to this song (and looking at Alan's picture): Lead me on/ Have your shadow take me down/ Your eyes are condescending/ Bleed me/ Come take me down/ Burn me to the ground (http://community.livejournal.com/helmet_hairdo/5610.html)
