Original Soundtracks 1
''Original Soundtracks 1'' (also known as ''Original Soundtracks'') is a 1995 album recorded by U2 and Brian Eno, as a side project, under the pseudonym Passengers. It is a collection of songs written for mostly imaginary films (the exceptions being songs for ''Ghost in the Shell'', ''Miss Sarajevo'', and ''Beyond the Clouds'').
==Background==
U2 and producer Brian Eno formed Passengers as a warm-up for U2's 1997 album, ''Pop''. Their original intention was to record a soundtrack for Peter Greenaway's 1996 film ''The Pillow Book''. Though the plan did not come to fruition, Eno suggested they continue recording for imaginary films. At this time, the US charts were dominated by movie soundtrack albums and singles. Once Eno pointed out that it would not be a real ploy for radio airplay, but a spoof of one, U2 agreed to the concept.〔
U2 had frequently improvised in the past, and in the ''Original Soundtracks 1'' sessions they engaged in free-form jamming to video clips from various films.〔 Eno stated, "Listening to the original improvisations as they came off the floor, you feel the excitement of the process ... You have to be careful not to disturb the organic flow of the thing." The group brought in producer Howie B to cut down and mix some of the tracks after several hours of jam sessions had been recorded.〔
Part of the group's intent in creating ''Original Soundtracks 1'' had been to make a "night-time" record.〔Stokes (2005), p. 196〕 Lead vocalist Bono said, "It feels like it's been set on the bullet train in Tokyo. Every record has a location, a place where you enjoy listening to it, whether that be a bedroom or a club, well this record location is a fast train. It's slo-mo music though. But it has an odd sense of speed in the background." He also noted that when creating works for soundtracks the visual suggestion from the music is more important than the story told by the lyrics. With this in mind the band had tried to create "visual music" when recording, continuing a trend that began with their 1993 song "Zooropa".〔McCormick (2006), p. 247–248〕
