Most of the songs were played at least once in the 1993 leg of the tour through Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, with several songs becoming fixtures in the set.
The album, including a collaboration with Luciano Pavarotti, "Miss Sarajevo", was largely unnoticed in the industry, and received little attention from the critics and public alike after the band lost the battle with the record company to release it with the U2 name.
The work was proposed as a compilation of film music for nonexistent movies, and a bit of a step back from the usual style of the band - thus the pseudonym "Passengers".
One of the most inventive bands of the British new wave, despite lasting only a few months, the Swell Maps (1) bridged the worlds of punk-rock, acid-rock, avantgarde music and pop music.
Led by brothers Nikki Sudden and Paul "EpicSoundtracks" Godley, the band applied psychedelic chaos and catchy refrains to a magma of free-jazz improvisation, demented dissonances, killer riffs, found objects, Stooge-ian distortions, industrial bacchanals.
They had in common an odd balance of primitivism and futurism: their music was, at the same time, reaching back to African tribal music and arching forward to envision the soundtrack for the post-industrial world, a harrowing fresco of human society after the nuclear apocalypse.
