  1. Linear is telling the story of 5 persons that meet during the film. Corbijn picked one of them, an african policeman/agent who wants to get back home, as a starting point. The story of this guy is told with the songs from the album. They are in a different order, though. Winter is in the movie but not on the album.

    Rumoured Tracklist:

    01. Unknown Caller
    02. Breathe
    03. Winter
    04. White As Snow
    05. No Line On The Horizon
    06. Fez-Being Born
    07. Magnificent
    08. Stand Up Comedy
    09. Get On Your Boots
    10. Moment Of Surrender
    11. Cedars Of Lebanon

    + the instrumentals
  2. any chance of being the songs are different versions than on the album? looking forward to winter and the instrumentals.
  3. eeeew....sounds pretty cool. excited!

    Being Born comes to mind for his trip, and also NLOTH with the policeman wanting to get away from the sirens part...anything else?

    Yep. NLOTH imho is the start of the voyage - if rue de marais refers to Le Marais in Paris. Being born would be the ending point imho. Also my guess is that Unknown Caller refers to the motorcycle crash.

    'Linear' of Anton Corbijn: first photos

    Future owners of certain editions of No Line On The Horizon can watch a movie directed by Anton Corbijn.

    Digipack editions magazine and give the right to download it. Dans In this month's box, it will be available on DVD. We speak of course of Linear film, directed by Anton Corbijn, who is principal performer Said Taghmaoui and whose soundtrack consists of almost all the songs from No Line On The Horizon.

    Indeed, according to the first people to have seen, only I'll Go Crazy If I Do not Go Crazy Tonight does not appear in the film. However, two or three instrumentals just be added to other songs.

    Until they can watch the movie, here are the first pictures that are drawn:

    Bonus:

    Classified information read on the forum about U2tour.de package standard edition of the CD:
    - The = sign is embedded in the cabinet, there is not on the cover
    - The photo of the back of the box, you know it is the same as the Box of vinyl singles. ( http://www.nolineonthehorizon.com/U2_NLOTH_7boxset_aw.pdf ) (Http://www.nolineonthehorizon.com/U2_NLOTH_7boxset_aw.pdf)
    - On the CD there is a picture of Fez without the group.

    Being born also refers to the crash:

    Six o’clock
    On the autoroute
    Burning rubber, burning chrome
    Bay of Cadiz and ferry home
    Atlantic sea cut glass
    African sun at last

    I believe Being Born is about coming to Africa, and then the new life...

    "Head first, then foot
    Then heart sets sail..."
  10. so, is it a concept album, or is Anton making it look like one?
  11. I believe it is.
  12. So is WInter the instrumental version of White as Snow.
    Cause White as Snow is in the Brothers film.
