Another Stolen Record


The first listeners of a new U2 album “No Line on the Horizon” are going to be the readers of British newspaper The Guardian. Following certain information given by this respected issue, all eleven tracks are already available on it’s official web site, even though this album was supposed to get out on March 2. Nevertheless, recently (another traditional story) “No Line on the Horizon” appeared on the Internet and was quickly spread all over the digital world. Once again the traditional way of advertising was sent nowhere, and it’s a good news for all progressive music lovers. As Billboard says, the responsible side for this major leakage is Getmusic.com.au, which is closely related to U2’s record label Universal Music. Getmusic.com.au is offering it’s visitors to purchase music or just listen to it online. However, nobody knows who exactly had used this music service to steal the record because all kinds of harsh methods were used to protect it. In other words, certain amount of bravery was required. Even U2 managers could not use any sorts of recording equipment while visiting closed up presentations.  Such a release is quite significant for U2, hence it’s been four years since they’ve produced their last work “How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb” in 2004.
