  1. many of those songs listed though could easily be alternate versions of stuff we have already heard - like a vertigo/native son thing.


    I would like to see another album or even some good B-sides, but think they will have another "Complete" digital release that will include 'unreleased & rare pt2'.....

    The house of ????? previously mentioned is almost certainly House of Abraham. Also if you look on one of the last pages in the book, the is the shot of The Edge sitting down with a guitar next to him with a list of songs above his head.

    From NLOTH is has
    - NLOTH
    - MOS
    - Magnificent
    - Cedars of Lebanon
    - Sexy Boots (Get On Your Boots)
    - Breathe
    - Hymn/White As Snow

    The other ones mentioned....
    - Tripoli
    - I Was Lost
    - For Your Love
    - Not As Yet
    - Diorama
    - Kingdom Of Your Love
    - Another one what starts with a 'C' and is two words but I can't make it out!

    So it would seem that there certainly are more than enough songs!


    The song For Your Love is the working title of 'Stand Up Comedy' and I Was Lost probably the working title of 'Unknown Caller' so those two you can forget they will appear on a new album.

    I was about to say that of I Was Lost...(between the midnight etc..). Interesting though. Still need to read all that stuff of the box-set including U2 & NL.
  4. If I assume for one second that Bono's yadda yadda is true this time, it would make perfect sense to release a 2nd album around christmas/early 2010. Especially if it really is a meditative, reflexive piece of work. Very few fans would wait 4 years for a release like that... and if you add the 50-60 songs thing + the 300 minutes recorded in London + the tipped songtitles...

    But then again it's just Bono...
  5. According to rolling stones "Songs of Ascent"????? WTF Is waht I thought at first, but then I thought about NLOTH and HTDAAB, and ATYCLB. A short title is nice, but it seems weird. It does seem to fit in with nloth though. I still doubt a release though, esp after all the excitement over this one. If they go the box set route, thats a lot to offer fans in such a short time period.
    Brain-does not compute
  6. I hope it will only be released as a normal CD, not with box versions and things like that. Just a jewel case with no maddness around it.

    Or even a digital download(like radiohead), to get with the times. That would seem fitting for reportedly strange outtakes. I would still want a cd though.

    I couldnt live with just crappy lossy files. I want it in lossless. Just a jewel case would do it.

  10. U2 plan quick sequel to new album (Yahoo News)

    U2 just released its first album since 2004 this week, but the Irish rock band is already planning a quickie follow-up for next year.

    The new disc will be called "Songs of Ascent," and it will be more mellow than the current album, "No Line on the Horizon," singer Bono says in a cover story in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

    "We're making a kind of heartbreaker, a meditative, reflective piece of work, but not indulgent," the magazine quoted him as saying.

    Bono likened the new project to jazz icon John Coltrane's 1964 tour de force "A Love Supreme" -- "which is to say, with that album, I almost take my shoes off to listen to it."

    The first single will be called "Every Breaking Wave," a track pulled at the last minute from "No Line on the Horizon," U2's 12th album since 1980.

    As with many of it previous recordings, "No Line" was a challenging project, with the quartet spending two years on scattered sessions in five countries with four producers.

    "It is now easier and more affordable to record a song than at any other time in the history of recorded music," U2 bass player Adam Clayton told Rolling Stone. "Unless you're U2."
  12. Hmm, this will be interesting, Songs of Ascent sounds like something off Passengers
