Notes

After the fun we all had with "It's No Good", we were treated to a bit of a departure with "Home". As one of the standout tracks on "Ultra", it was destined to be another instant Martin classic. It's rare that Martin fronts a midtempo tune like this but in his own way, he makes it unforgettable in voice, guitar, and strings.

Rarer still is the opportunity afforded to Anton Corbijn's daughter Emma who provided the basis for the cover art. Also rare was the use of a director not named Anton Corbijn for filming the promo for BONG 27. Steve Green filmed a clean video that was a somber departure from Anton's recent offerings. The band take residence in a motor hotel where Mr. Green employs a guardian angel, who looks like a dead ringer for Vince Clarke, to observe the tennants sharing residence with the band.

Something that was really unexpected from this single's campaign was the fact that there would be many remixes of "Home". Equally unexpected were the collective level of experimentation the remixers had resorted to. Some were better received than others but none really excelled beyond the album version itself which proved detrimental to the releases chart performance in the UK. In the US, although promo CD's were dispatched, radio stations gravitated towards "Useless", causing Reprise to rethink their strategy.
