PASSENGERS: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS 1

Whereas Eno's knack for turning texture into an extra level of hook was the icing atop Achtung Baby and Zooropa, with this album it's pretty much the whole cake. Not that the lads from U2 are unequal Passengers, exactly, for no matter how much Eno may fiddle with these sounds, the source remains recognizable. But by shifting the focus away from the supergroup, this collection allows non-melodic fare like United Colours or Ito Okashi to be given as much weight as broad-stroke pop like the snarky Elvis Ate America or the Pavarotti-augmented Miss Sarajevo. These exercises hardly rank as major work, but they're still fun to hear.
