That's the name of my favorite Bill Evans Trio piece.

edit: Hey Jack, have you heard the leaked Phantom Power? It's quite impressive, I think, although the cover art is pretty awful:

hmmm u2log.com has that as well. they said they received a suspicious e-mail (written in bad english).

I like the ?title? Solar = heat / brightness and continuing theme of Beautiful Day and joy. At the other end, a dark, rocking, Exit-like track called ?Eclipse.? I think one of the leftover ATYCLB tracks was titled as ?The Sun The Moon And The Stars.? I?d like to see it as AB (including The Edge?s guitar solos from the ZOOTV Tour ? Mysterious Ways, Bullet, Love Is Blindness, etc.) meets Boy (Out Of Control, Tick Tock, Electric Co., etc.). ?If? ATYCLB was ?damage control? and bringing back the ?older 80s fans? then let Solar be a full throttle assault on the ?youngsters? (and everyone else too!) ATYCLB had 3 rockers (BD, Elevation, and New York) then let Solar have at least 6 rockers! Let Solar be firing on all cylinders and with guns blazing! To be on top of the world; to kick down the doors as they are inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!

Yeah.. the same source sent both us and them the same email. Hopefully U2 will announce true details soon!

OT, anyway

[mug222]

nah the whole album leaked months ago. go find it.

 

[Jack In The Box]

hahahaha, ok, I will look for it whole, even so... I will buy it

 

[HelloAngel]

Update: Hot Press has published a report stating that Solar is a hoax. Frankly, we are relieved.

 

[Swan269]

This does give hope though that the album could be released sooner than that damn poster.
