OTHER NOTES
This album was recorded before Michael Hutchence's death in 1997.  Hutchence was the lead singer with INXS, an Australian band, and was a close friend of Bono.  The album was finished in 1999, with Bono writing some additional lyrics to finish the track "Slide Away".  Bono then recorded these additional lyrics which were mixed into the existing Hutchence lyrics.  A point to note, Danny Saber, a sometimes U2 remixer, was involved in the mixing and production of this album..
RELATED RELEASES
  • The song "Elegantly Wasted" by INXS was supposedly written by Hutchence after a night out with Bono, and was loosly based on that evening. 
  • The song "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" from All That You Can't Leave Behind was written in memory of Hutchence. 
  • Slide Away was released on the album Michael Hutchence as well and European promotional singles were released.. 
  • Slide Away also was featured on a US four track promo for the track A Straight Line from the Michael Hutchence album.
