13 Tracks, 13 Remixes

8 Mar 2010124
Artificial Horizon, the limited edition CD produced for subscribers to U2.com, is now released.

Running to 60 minutes, this exclusive CD features 13 tracks remixed by some of the world's leading DJs and producers. Including three never-before released tracks and two with very restricted previous release, here's a couple of lines from an early review by the editors at Mixmag:

'World beat flavour takes the song to totally different place.' (Elevation (Influx Mix) ); 'Makes U2 sound like another band entirely' (City Of Blinding Lights (Hot Chip Remix).

But what do you think ? Stand-out track? Most surprising mix? Song that sounds least like U2? Potential summer of 2010 dance-floor hit?

I went crazy tonight
4 minutes and approximately 40 seconds in on "I know I'll Go Crazy..." and I was electrified. The whole CD is AWESOME but I gotta say that groove kicks some serious ass. Man this track is the truth! I got in my car and drove down an open highway with the system up - it's my new music ritual. I found myself totally caught up in it; cheering like I was at the show in T. last September. This CD will hold me until I get to see the band again this summer in T. and Montreal. Membership certainly has it's privileges. Thank-you, thank-you a million times thank-you!

Fabulous
I'd say magnificent, but that'd be cheesy. I'm not a fan of remixes-prefer originals..but...I have this entire cd on repeat...moreso than NLOTH...love "Elevation" ..."Crazy Tonight"...love "Vertigo" with "I Will Follow" mixed in..brilliant! "Staring at the Sun"-perfect, "Happiness is a Warm Gun" very Beatlesque Bono's voice very powerful here. GOYB is too "Welcome Back Kotterish" No other way to describe it-I don't like it. "Beautiful Day" remix is ok, "COBL" is ok, "If God Will Send His Angels" is nicely done

WooHoo
It came in the mail yesterday. Only listened to 1/2 of it on my way to work this morning, but the Elevation remix is fabulous. Very dance-clubby, it is so far. And I don't care how Bono sings Magnificient - I love it every way he does it!! Might surpass Bad as my all time favorite song............. You go boys.

Lazy Effort
With the exception of "I'll Go Crazy" Which for me was the standout song on the tour & so much better than the recorded version. & "City Of Blinding Lights" (which likewise was a standout performance on that live tour). I'll have to consider strongly wether I renew my membership next year or not. This release is disappointing & lazy. I would have much preferred to have a disk of unavailable elsewhere tracks, even a live show (which is where U2 excel), U2 are not a dance band & should not try to be.

Art It ficial Horizon U2
This is the best set of remixes the band has ever done. I should know, have some dating back to 1980, so thank you, U2, U2.com, Irishnancy loves this and was very glad to see it in the post today, thank you, thank you, hurry back to the states. Nashville has a stadium too! xoxoxxoxox

Exciting!
My copy came today. It's a great remix album and I really enjoy the Live U2360 version of Crazy Tonight. Can't wait to see the show again in Anaheim this June. Thanks!

ABSOLUTELY
I was just thinking about being in some hip club having a great time with that U2 mix playing in the background. cheers to Hot Chip...hot, hot, hot!!!

Great compilation.
OMG!!!! For those who like remixes like me this is a great compilation... who was the genious who made the tracks selection!?!?! :D I specially am fan of Beautiful Day (David Holmes Remix), with some punkish, garage, darkish sparkles ...rules!! ... to me it even sounds like The Cure - in the "Seventeen Seconds" or "Faith" era - . One of mi favorites from now on! Others which I'm enjoying a lot: Get On Your Boots (Fish Out Of Water Mix), Magnificent (Falke Radio Mix), I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (Live U2360 Remix), City Of Blinding Lights (Hot Chip 2006 Remix), Staring At The Sun (Monster Truck Remix), Happiness Is A Warm Gun (Danny Saber Mix) and, obviously, Get On Your Boots (Justice Remix). Just the perfect way of continuing the Perfecto (and others') remixes of Melon. A great gift for U2.com subscribers, IMHO. TNX!

Staring at the Sun
Staring at the Sun is magnificent!!! I love this version of the song....Bono's voice is incredible....Good job guys... Also, I'll go Crazy If I Don' Go Crazy Tonight is worth mentioning... I keep listening these 13 tracks on and on.... Thank you... Lots of love

No right now!
I still enjoy the album, but from previous experience of mixes and the best of 90-00 expected to improve.

Awesome CD. Just got it. I can't get enough of the Live U2360 Remix of "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight." The U2360 show is amazing to see and it's great to have a copy of this remix that is performed live. Thanks so much for the CD.

Amazing Album
I would have to say I liked Get on your boots (Justice Remix) and Starin at the Sun (Brothers in Rhythm Ambient Mix). The latter is just so pure while the former is just so fun and different than the actual song
josephiannone
Nice!
Its no Melon, but it still keeps things interesting. Always nice to hear some unreleased U2 remixes!
Nicodemii
Got mine today! :D
Wonderful tracks! They all sound spectacular! :) Thank you U2! One of my favorites on the CD (it really was hard to choose) is Staring At The Sun (Monster Truck Remix), and Vertigo (Trent Reznor Remix)! Can't wait to see you in June! :) Much love!
ndmaxfield
some nice surprises
The BD, COBL, and ambient Staring tracks are particularly nice surprises. U2 + unpredictable directions always = nice surprises.
