Who would have ever thought that ambient music would come to this, a destination which the second side of The Unforgettable Fire only intimated. The parternership of Eno/U2 has taken another quantum leap, after the experimental pop of Achtung Baby and bold spontaneity of Zooropa, this collection of sounds goes beyond beyond. Recording as pseudonymous Passengers, Bono/Edge/Mullen/Clayton/Eno anchor a dominantly instrumental album which doesn't look back. This music speaks of possibilities of time, space and music which don't exist yet. Lush, melody vacuums, songs about Elvis, and no rules.
