OTHER NOTES |
Million Dollar Hotel was a screenplay
that Bono had co-written for a movie. Bono brought this
script to Wim Wenders who agreed to direct the film, and the
film was produced throughout 1999. In the meantime Bono
signed on as executive producer of the soundtrack, and not only
helped with the production, but also performed on the majority
of the tracks on the album.
There are three U2 tracks on the album.
"The First Time" is the same version of the song which
had originally appeared on 1993's Zooropa
album. Two other songs, "Stateless" and
"The Ground Beneath Her Feet" were being worked on for
All That You Can't
Leave Behind, but U2 allowed to be stolen for this
soundtrack instead.
Three of the members of U2 also had solo
contributions to the soundtrack album. Bono sings on many
of the tracks, Larry performs percussion on several and Adam
Clayton adds bass to the song "Anarchy in the UK".
Only the Edge does not appear "outside" of U2 for this
release.
The soundtrack started a new decade for U2 and
was the first time since the singles for Pop that there was new
U2 material available. The album was leaked on the
internet a full month prior to release in stores in it's
entirety, with mp3s from the album appearing on Febraury 14th.
Originally "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" was planned
as a full fledged single, and had a promotional video filmed,
but the label felt the release was coming too close to the
release of U2's new album and did not want this to lead to
confusion by promoting a non-album single. Instead a
promotional single was pressed and sent to radio.
