Album Of The Day: Original Sountracks 1 by Passengers

Album Art of Passengers's Original Soundtracks 1 album - On the starfield of space as the background, a bunch of circles and boxes are interconnected making up a colorful, very modernist space port or something. A few people can be seen on the exterior of the building in space suits, and a few ships may be flying around too. It's busy and also looks like it is still being assembled. At the top, it has printed in white the band name and the album name.

Released 30 years ago this Thursday, this is a side project of the band U2 with Brian Eno. Many of the songs are just instrumentals, some of them a lot of electronic beeps and bloops with the band's guitars, drums and bass. The band saw this as a soundtrack to a movie that was never released, and it's definitely very diverse and experimental compared to U2's other albums. The lyrics, when there are some, are pretty random and don't really make much sense. The only single on this album was "Miss Sarajevo" with Luciano Pavarotti singing a beautiful opera part. It's definitely a unique album from a band who was finding their place in the '90s music landscape.
