There are a few bands with the name, including the following:
1)Passengers are the band made up, in 1995, of Brian Eno and U2 members Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr.
They did not record under the name U2 because Brian Eno was the primary composer while Bono, The Edge, Clayton and Mullen were, as they used to say, Passengers of his ship.
The group made one album called Original Soundtracks 1, ostensibly a compilation of music the band composed for various films but most of the films were made-up as in-jokes by Eno (although a few of the films did exist, and since their release some of the tracks have been used in other real films such as Michael Mann’s “Heat.”) Music on this album is more similar to music recorded normally in Brian Eno’s solo career than on U2 albums. It is very electronic and experimental.
“One Minute Warning” was used in the end credits of the English version of the first “Ghost in the Shell” anime movie.
For U2 it was the next big step into experimental music world after recording Achtung Baby and Zooropa.
2)There is also an Italian electronic disco band of the same name who released albums from 1979 - 1986.

yeah, imagine that- part 2 would be fun. i think U2, at least, need something like that to get them back on track. there were elements of this album in 'No Line on The Horizon', but way too much drivel. :p

Brian Eno made everything good on this album, U2 was help him only to get media attention and sell bunch of CD's. In my opinion, he piss himself by making music with Bono ( still bigest " poo " on the world... Who love South park will understand / kill that politic-music-money making asshole, he don't really give a proper fuck for any kid in Africa, don't make yourself blind ( he consider himself " a mate! " with Bush, and he's so proud on that fact... I don't dig Eno anymore...

"Original Soundtracks 1" is an incredible album, minus the track "Elvis Ate America," which is like the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. Otherwise... a classic.
