Electrical Storm

[luckyboy]

I have 3 different versions of Electrical Storm but it seems noone of them matches perfectly the ones as described here.

Main characterics are:

The first version is 4:27 long.
It starts fading on a solo ACOUSTIC guitar.
There is NO "Electrical Storm" chorus at 1.07.
At 1.50 Bono sings "If the sky can crack".
At 2.40 Bono sings "HOPE the rain".
At 3.00 Bono sings "FOR love and only love.

The second version is 4.22 long.
It starts with a solo ELECTRIC guitar without any fading.
There is NO "Electrical Storm" chorus at 1.07.
At 1.50 Bono sings "WELL if the sky can crack".
At 2.45 Bono sings "HOPE the rain".
At 3.06 Bono sings "FOR love and only love.

The third version is 4.15 long.
It starts only with the little bell sound, no guitar. Guitar starts only at 0.45.
There is the "Electrical Storm" chorus at 1.07.
At 2.05 Bono sings "WELL if the sky can crack".
At 3.00 Bono sings "NEED the rain".
At 3.21 Bono sings "TO love and only love.

Can anybody help me identifying the 3 versions?
Thanks

1. Electrical Storm (demo)

My copy is 2 secs off but this is it.

2. Electrical Storm (band version)

3. Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)

Since I like this song I didn't mind re-listening.

There's also the Captain nemo's remix with a funky drum part.

Thanks to Scarlet for the flacs...

Hmmm... Never heard of the Captain Nemo Remix.  Is this a white label?

I do have the SandStorm remix, though.

Edit: Apparently clicking that link doesn't work, but if you copy and paste the link into your browser it will:

Don't know but it's not a dance mix like Sandstorm. I just had the mp3 and dug it out from a buried folder...

3. Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)

There are more mixes than this out there - there was a slightly different "band version" mix that showed up on US radio when the single first hit.

I made this page waaay back when to help sort through the confusion (hopefully it doesn't make you more confused heh)
