OTHER NOTES
The second promotional single for the How
to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb album in Europe is Sometimes You Can't
Make it On Your Own. In North America a different promotional single
was released around the same time, All Because of
You. The commercial singles for either song would be released
in these regions as well.
The first promo single contained two edits of the title track for radio
play. Although released before the end of 2004, the CD is marked
2005 on the liner.
The vocals in the 99 BPM version occasionally take on a quality which
we fondly refer to as "Robo-Bono." Both edits contain the same music, the
99 Beats Per Minute version is just played a bit faster - and there are
some slight artifacts in the audio caused by this. Rather interesting.
The 103 BPM mix came out in March 2005, 13 seconds shorter still and boasting
"more tempo".
