In addition, a translation of the comments by The Edge about "How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb," a collection of previously unreleased songs and rare sound sources that will be included in the 20th anniversary edition box set of "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb," has been released.

When we were working on the sessions for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, the band was in a state of tremendous creativity. In the studio, we were exploring so many song ideas that we lost count. There was a desire to recapture some of our early musical influences, and for Bono, who was coming to terms with - "deconstructing" - and overcoming the death of his father, it was a time of deep reflection for him. Bono, who was also trying to come to terms with his father's death - "deconstructing" it and getting over it - was also in a period of deep self-reflection.

For this 20th anniversary edition, I was digging through my personal archives for previously unreleased treasures, and I found something unexpected and wonderful. I chose 10 songs that really appealed to us. We set them aside at the time, but looking back on them now, I can see that our initial instincts were correct in considering them as candidates for an album. We knew we were onto a good thing.

What you get from this shadow album ("behind the scenes" album: How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb) is a newfound raw energy, an instinctive impact from the songs, a story spun by sound. The story, the exploration and interaction that comes from four musicians playing together in one room at one moment in time ...... is truly U2 without mixing."

The 20th anniversary edition of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb will be available in Japan in a Super Deluxe Collector's Box Set (5CD) and 1CD, and on import in 8LP, 2LP, cassette, and digital distribution formats.
