Passengers were a group formed by Brian Eno and the members of U2 as a sideproject during the recording sessions for U2's 1997 album Pop. Their only release was the 1995 album Original Soundtracks 1.
Formation[edit]
U2 and producer Brian Eno formed Passengers as a side-project during the preliminary recording sessions for U2's 1997 album, Pop. Their intention was to record a soundtrack for Peter Greenaway's 1996 film The Pillow Book as a warm up before the main Pop sessions.[1] Though the plan did not come to fruition, Eno suggested they continue recording for imaginary films. U2 were unsure of the idea at first, but agreed after Eno told them that producing radio hits was not the goal of the collaboration.[1]
