Producer Mario McNulty worked on the new version of Never Let Me Down at Electric Lady Studios in New York with longtime Bowie musicians Sterling Campbell on drums, Reeves Gabrels and David Torn on guitars, and Tim Lefebvre on bass.

Of “Beat Of Your Drum”, McNulty says: “David Torn’s ambient guitars start the song that now lead into a much darker world than its shiny predecessor. David sang all the backing vocals on this which I have kept.”
