Finest songs from their period of reinvention and experimentation. This NZ pressed Bonus Disc Edition features a second disc of B-Sides.
Covering the years from 1990 to 2000, the sixteen tracks featured here are the highlights of the albums Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1, Pop and All That You Can't Leave Behind.
Two brand new tracks have been included for this set, Electrical Storm (also released as a single), and The Hands That Built America which will feature on the soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese movie The Gangs Of New York, released by Miramax in December 2002.
In addition, four songs, Discothèque, Gone, Numb and Staring At The Sun have been substantially reworked by producer Mike Hedges.
The 1990s was a period of reinvention and experimentation for U2, embracing rapidly developing technology and incorporating it into their distinctive sound.
