Anyway, I saw U2 once. It would have been around 1987, in a football stadium. Bono had his arm in a sling. I haven't thought about them much at all since then.

But this score by The Edge is pretty good. It starts with "Rowena's Theme", a very pretty piece with the aforementioned French horn, played by Lesley Bishop. The Edge is gently picking out the notes in some chords, sort of arpeggiating them, while the horn and synth and piano float over it.

The other track with a guest musician, drummer Larry Mullen Jnr, comes next. "Heroine (Theme from Captive)" has a perky and bright energy but also a dreamy sort of feel to it. The vocals are by Sinead O'Connor, who also co-wrote the lyrics with The Edge.

"One Foot in Heaven" is a cool, minimalist groove with some light keyboard soloing and that's basically it.

Then the A side wraps up with "The Strange Party", which has some ambient textures and a menacing rhythm track. Keyboards and guitar come in and lighten things up a bit but the track does live up to its name.

Flip the record and the first thing you hear is "Hiro's Theme", a dreamy, textural and pretty piece of music which features a synth flute sound.

Spacious and echoey guitar returns for "Drift", another tranquil and soothing number, while "The Dream Theme" is mostly synth washes.

Michael Brook gets sole comoposition and production credit for "Djinn", a hybrid of music and sound design, with an intiguing and suspensful atmosphere.

"Island" is a sunny number that you can tap your toe to. There are some really nice textures and sliding chords in here and after hearing it you won't be surprised to see both Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois thanked on the record.

The last track is a reprise of "Hiro's Theme". It's a pretty cool record.
