The next month will be significant for the Irish band U2, for they will be featured in a new movie titled U2 3D. The movie will be screened at the Palisades Center mega-mall in West Nyack, Rockland County. The idea of the film is to link  3D imagery with 5.1 Surround Sound and to feature such U2 songs as  “Pride (In the Name of Love),” “New Year’s Day,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” “Miss Sarajevo,” “Where the Streets Have No Name,” “With or Without You,” “The Fly,” “One,” “Beautiful Day,” “Vertigo” and “Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own.”

U2’s latest album titled U218 Singles was released on 17 November 2006. The album contains singles recorded all the way from 1982 to 2006. To be exact, the album contains eighteen songs altogether—sixteen of their most well-known and successful singles, as well as “The Saints Are Coming” (in collaboration with Green Day) and a new song, “Window in the Skies.” By its 8th week of release, the album had sold 2,803,000 copies around the world, and on December 9, 2006 debuted on the Billboard 200album chart with sales of 134,000 copies.

U2 will release “Trance” album as the result of close collaboration with famed producer Brian Eno. It took the two Irish rockers the last few months to record the follow-up to 2004’s ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’ in an African recording studio. Bono is sure that the fans will be amazed by the new album. The album is influenced by trance and includes some hardcore guitar playing.

To record the follow-up to 2004’s “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb” The Irish rockers have spent the last few months in an African studio, Bono believes that fans will be surprised by the result. U2’s teamwork with well-known producer Brian Eno has given a new album unlike anything U2 have done before and probably, it doesn’t sound like anything anyone else has done either.

U2’s new record will be influenced by the trance dance sub-genre of music. According to the band’s frontman, it will also feature “hardcore” guitars. U2 fans can expect a “dance floor shock” on the new record. The album contains some trance influences. There is “some very hardcore guitar coming out of The Edge”. Bono said the new album is not like anything they had ever done before. The band does not think the album sounds like “anything anyone else has done either.”

Bono and Damien Hirst, are backing a forty-million AIDS charity auction of art previewing today in London before heading for NY. The auction was devised by Bono and Damien Hirst to raise money for AIDS treatment in Africa. It features $8 million of works donated by Damien that include a heart-shaped butterfly picture entitled “All You Need is Love” with a top estimate of $1.5 million.

U2 are against the plans to build an unsightly skyscraper in Dublin. In fact, the problem is that by building the skyscraper, the band’s property, the Clarence Hotel, will be demolished, which the band can not permit. The organisation has called for an investigation into the so-called ‘U2 Tower’, which is set to be the tallest building in Ireland.

Bono has claimed that the band’s new album is going to be “extraordinary” and absolutely different from what it used to be before. The new album has been inspired by the band’s visit to Morocco last year. At that time, Morocco saw a religious music festival in Fez, and exactly this festival helped U2 to work out new extraordinary tunes.
