Can you say; "lawsuit?" I'm quite sure Universal would have known their business well enough to make sure that the contract procluded these shenanigans...

We waited 4.5 years for this album. I'm not expecting anything right now. They all (mostly Bono) like to run their mouths and then the record label or whatever takes it back. We'll see what happens. If it comes out in '09, that would be awesome. I'm just not getting my hopes up.
Wow, one compilation per year... c'mon, that would be ridiculous.

Songs of Ascent sounds like Passengers 2.0.
True. And if we look back a few months ago they said they were actually working on a sort of sequel to the Passengers album. Not that it'd be exactly like that. But that rings a bell.

So.... the title: Songs of Ascent. Sounds like a William Blake reference, right? 'Songs of Experience?' 'Songs of Innocence?'

It's actually a biblical reference, if I'm not mistaken.

Where from?
It recalls Blake's work to me. Especially since we know they did record the introduction to the Songs of Experience.

Perfect title, has an instant spiritual and U2 hook. I hope they keep it, hard to believe it will survive, but NLOTH managed to become the title for this one a year later.
This is exciting.

Song of Ascents
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article incorporates text from the public domain Easton's Bible Dictionary, originally published in 1897.
The song of Ascents appears in Hebrew and English on the walls at the entrance to the City of David, Jerusalem, Israel.
Song of Ascents is a title given to fifteen of the Psalms, 120–134 (119–133 in the Septuagint), that each starts with the ascription (Hebrew: שיר המעלות, Shir Hama'aloth). They are also variously called Gradual Psalms, Songs of Degrees, Songs of Steps or Pilgrim Songs.
Four of them (122, 124, 131 and 133) are claimed in their ascriptions to have been written by David, and one (127) by Solomon, the rest being anonymous. Some modern scholars do not believe that these ascriptions can be taken literally, although they give evidence that helps in dating of the Psalms and identifying their original use.
The probable origin of this name is the circumstance that these psalms came to be sung by the people on the ascents or goings up to Jerusalem to attend the three pilgrim festivals (Deuteronomy 16:16) or by the kohanim (priests) as they ascended the steps to minister at the Temple in Jerusalem.[1]
They were well suited for being sung, by their poetic form and the sentiments they express. "They are characterized by brevity, by a key-word, by epanaphora [i.e., repetition], and by their epigrammatic style.... More than half of them are cheerful, and all of them hopeful."[citation needed]

[edit] Christian liturgy
The liturgical use of these psalms came into Christianity through its Jewish roots. The form of the Scriptures used in the Early Church, at least so far as the Old Testament was concerned, was primarily the Septuagint. In the Septuagint, these psalms are numbered 119–133.
Many early hermits observed the practice of reciting the entire Psalter daily, coenobitic communities would chant the entire Psalter through in a week, so these psalms would be said on a regular basis, during the course of the Canonical hours.
[edit] Eastern Christianity
In the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite, the Songs of Degrees make up the Eighteenth Kathisma (division of the Psalter), and are read on Friday evenings at Vespers throughout the liturgical year. The Kathisma is divided into three sections (called stases) of five psalms each.
During Great Lent the Eighteenth Kathisma is read every weekday (Monday through Friday evening) at Vespers, and on Monday through Wednesday of Holy Week. In the Slavic usage this Kathisma is also read from the apodosis of the Exaltation of the Cross up to the forefeast of the Nativity of Christ, and from the apodosis of Theophany up to the Sunday of the Prodigal Son. The reason for this is that the nights are longer in winter, especially in the northern latitudes, so during this season three Kathismas will be chanted at Matins instead of two, so in order to still have a reading from the Psalter at Vespers, the Eighteenth Kathisma is repeated.
[edit] Anavathmoi
At Matins on Sundays and feast days throughout the year, special hymns called anavathmoi (Greek: άναβαθμοί, from βαθμός, 'step'; Slavonic: stepénnyi) are chanted immediately before the prokeimenon and Matins Gospel. These anavathmoi are compositions based upon the Hymns of Degrees, and are written in the eight tones of Byzantine chant. The Anavathmoi for each tone consists of three stases or sets of verses (sometimes called antiphons), except for Tone 8 which has four stases. On Sundays, the anavathmoi are chanted according to the tone of the week; on feast days which do not fall on Sunday, the Avavathmoi almost always consist of the first stasis in Tone 4 (based on Psalm 128).[2]
Symbolically, the anabathmoi are chanted as a reminder that Christians are ascending to the Heavenly Jerusalem, and that the spiritual intensity of the service is rising as we approach the reading of the Gospel.[1]
[edit] Western Christianity
The Western Daily Office was strongly influenced by the Rule of St. Benedict, where these psalms are assigned to Terce, Sext and None on weekdays. Over the centuries, however, various schedules have been used for reciting the psalms. In the modern Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Catholic Church, the Gradual Psalms are read at daytime prayer on solemnities, except for certain solemnities of the Lord and during the octave of Easter and those solemnities falling on Sunday.[3]
