Dream Bomb?

[phattom]

I know it's been posted a bunch of times (but I couldn't find the posts to look into), but how would you have put Bomb together?This could mean a different running order, taking out songs and putting others in, the Chris Thomas version, a mix, how'd you change or make a certain song, whatever.

I'll post mine in a bit (you gotta put your Edge cap on in order to dream up a good mix), so please post like crazy before then

P.S. Does anybody know of the other mixes U2 came up with for it? I remember in Q magazine Bono and Edge both showed the interviewer a ton of different mixes for the record.

I always prefer the original version that U2 intended, but I do think that they really screwed up the running order on this album in particular (along with ATYCLB and POP) I'm not going to put in any b-sides or or the alternate takes on because if U2 really wanted the original Yahweh or Native Son, they would have put it on.

SYCMIOYO -> One Step Closer-> COBL is amazing. They flow perfectly--thematically and musically. So here's my list:

1. Vertigo
2. All Because Of You (Single Version)
3. Crumbs From Your Table
4. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
5. One Step Closer
6. City Of Blinding Lights
7. Original of the Species (Single Version)
8. Miracle Drug
9. A Man and A Woman
10. Fast Cars
11. Love and Peace or Else
12. Yahweh

 

[Axver]

Let's see ...

1. Love And Peace Or Else
2. Electrical Storm
3. Crumbs From Your Table
4. One Step Closer
5. Original Of The Species (single version)
5. City Of Blinding Lights
6. Smile
7. Miracle Drug
8. A Man And A Woman
9. Fast Cars
10. Yahweh

 

[BANZAI]

Why do people put Electrical Storm on their list?!?!

It's a song from the 90's, released in 2002!!!

 

[phattom]

Here's one version of mine:

City of Blinding Lights
All Because of You (Alternate)
Native Son
Love and Peace or Else
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Original of The Species (Single)
Mercy
Yahweh (Alternate)
Xanax and Wine

Even though the alternate versions are all unfinished songs that would have still needed a little tweaking, I still perfer them over the ones that ended up on the album.

I never actually thought of putting on any of the All That... unreleased tracks on. More daydreaming...

Why do people put Electrical Storm on their list?!?!

It's a song from the 90's, released in 2002!!!

It's not a song from the 90's, it's about (or inspired by) 9/11!

 

[phattom]

Whoa, some of these songs I've never heard of: Neon Lights, Ave Maria, Are You Gonna Wait Forever. I'm gonna have to do some digging to find these.

I'm trying to build the album around the basic theme that Bono associates with it: youth, and trying to go back to it, and passing through life to get there (so to speak). On top of that, to build it around how U2 wanted it to sound like an album full of singles ala The Beatles, Stones, The Who, who all put out weird stuff on albums (in the Beatles case, almost constantly). More or less to make it sound really streamlined. So, sorry to sound probably a little pretentious somebody there but if anybody has any ideas on how to mix it like that, that'd be awesome.
