Description:
For all who love U2 going electronic!

In 1995 producer Brian Eno decided to make, together with Irish rockband U2, a very electronic, expirimental album. Until this day 'Original Soundtracks No.1' is the least famous and least popular album of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. Do you dare to show you love for it? Then join this group!



Tracklist:
1. United Colours
2. Slug
3. Your Blue Room
4. Always Forever Now
5. A Different Kind Of Blue
6. Beach Sequence
7. Miss Sarajevo (Ft. Luciano Pavarotti)
8. Ito Okashi (Ft. Holi)
9. One Minute Warning
10. Corpse (These Chains Are Way Too Long)
11. Elvis Ate America (Ft. Howie B.)
12. Plot 180
13. Theme From The Swan
14. Theme From Let's Go Native
Bonus track (on Japanese release):
15. Bottoms (Watashitachi no Ookina Yume)

The first single of this album was Miss Sarajevo, a collaboration with opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. It's also the only song that's been performed live of this album. It debuted live during a festival in Modena, the only performance with both U2 and Pavarotti. Later it was also played during the legendary U2 gig in Sarajevo, during their 1997/1998 PopMart-tour.
After it was played twice, the band decided to give it some rest. It returned during the 2005/2006 Vertigo-tour, where it was played reguraly.

The second single of this album was Your Blue Room. But, after the album sold poor, the band decided to cancell the release.
In 2009, on U2's 360-tour, the band rehearsed Your Blue Room just before their first night at Wembley Stadium (August 14th). The band decided not to play it tough.

At the beginning of the 2nd leg of the 360 tour, just before the first two dates in Chicago, rumours started again about a future live performance of Your Blue Room. The band rehearsed the song and on July 13th, on the 2nd night in Chicago, Your Blue Room officially debuted in live format. Together with astronauts that are active on the International Space Station, the band performed the tune. The astronauts took over Adam Clayton's lyrics near the end (zooming in, zooming out...)
