Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1

U2 and Brian Eno became Passengers for an experimental collection built around film-music ideas. Eno was a composing participant, not simply a producer brought in to shape a U2 album.

Documented

Most of the films described in the sleeve notes were invented; Ghost in the Shell, Miss Sarajevo and Beyond the Clouds were real connections.

Rumour check — film connection confirmed; fame claim unsubstantiated

One Minute Warning appears in English-language versions of Ghost in the Shell. U2Songs also documents a Japanese image-album version. These are real anime connections, but they do not establish that The Edge personally became well-known among Japanese anime fans because of the track. It is credited to Passengers, the U2–Brian Eno collaboration.
