Free Music Notes for Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1

Free Music Review: The biggest group in the world veture into alien territory..
Hit: 5 Stars

I grew up listening to U2, like bands like The Cure & Depeche Mode, they were the gateway to many bands- though by the time of rootsfest Rattle&Hum, I'd already tuned out...Then suddenly the 1990s occurred and U2 became interesting- the ZOO-TV era that produced Achtung Baby! & Zooropa showed the world's biggest band develop an experimental style, which can be seen analogous to Bowie's 70s Trilogy of StationtoStation,Low&"Heroes" (forget Lodger) & a precursor of the territory Radiohead would explore from songs like Lucky onwards to albums like KidA.

Passengers Original Soundtracks VolI is their most Eno of releases, released under this moniker no doubt to protect the brand-name, it seems undervalued (just one review in the UK) & overlooked: I mean, Kid A is much more conventional. Perhaps it's me, having a taste for perverse artrock- but following this, U2 would deliver the compromised Pop (which flitted between great forward thinking tracks like Mofo&Miami and dull anthems like If God Will Send His Angels & Please) & return to the 80s with the boring All That You Can't Leave Behind (a huge compromise, like REM's Reveal). Only the soundtrack to The Ground Beneath Her Feet would be as interesting as this...

Elvis Ate America tells you everything you need to know about the King of Rock&Roll, assisted by HowieB(Tricky's co-writer on Ponderosa), it advances on 93's Numb and predicts 97's Miami. Love the way it almost cuts up elements of Presley's life and then contrasts him with those who had participated in their own destruction (Christ, Hitler, Mishima,Nixon ). Many of the tracks find Eno & co heavily using synths- tracks like One Minute Warning, United Colours & Plot180 deserving a place alongside early Aphex Twin and the critically feted My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Theme from Let's Go Native shows that U2 progressed from b-side Alex/Korova (from The Fly) and songs like Lemon to a very interesting place indeed (this appears to have been heavily influenced by My Bloody Valentine- if Primal Scream did this now, music critics would get very excited...)

The Edge takes lead vocals for the minimal Corpse(These Chains Are Way Too Long)- some ghostly industrial beats, a whirring synth, a lone guitar...that's it! Slug does feel very cut up, not quite a song- while Beach Sequence (from the dire Beyond the Clouds: senile soft porn from a once great director) just doesn't last long enough (a blissed out joy). Always Forever Now is a great electronic track, which was perfectly complemented by several Moby tracks when used for the sountrack of brilliant cop thriller Heat (Michael Mann). Theme from The Swan, alternately, finds the Passengers voyage towards the territory of avant-garde composer Michael Nyman- this album cannot be accused of being unimaginative!

Eno takes lead vocals for A Different Kind of Blue, while Luciano Pavarotti guests on single (and most perfect song) Miss Sarajevo, which touchingly wonders "Is there a time for East17?". Love the idea of contrasting a decadent Western lifestyle and celeb bands with the horrors in Eastern Europe- half an hour watching Fox-TV will tell you all you need to know here...Ito Okashi is up there with Tricky's Pumpkin, while another fave Your Blue Room has fantastic bass and harmonics- a real lost U2 classic.

Passengers Original Soundtracks Vol1 is a diverse diversion, an album that those with open minds and eclectic tastes should adore- not necessarily U2 fans. It must get boring having to sing Where the Streets Have No Name and being one thing though- a key release of the 1990s, which makes more sense with the passage of time-
