U2 today announced that its upcoming fan club CD will be titled Artificial Horizon and will feature 13 remixes of the band’s latter-period work by the likes of Trent Rreznor and David Holmes — including some that haven’t been released previously.
Although the band hasn’t yet released the full tracklist, it did reveal, in an e-mail to fans, that the disc will include Reznor’s remix of “Vertigo,” Jacknife Lee’s mix of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb outtake “Fast Cars,” Holmes’ remix of “Beautiful Day,” in addition to mixes of “Staring at the Sun,” “City of Blinding Lights” and “If God Will Send His Angels.”
Not available in stores, the disc — a sequel of sorts to 1995’s fan-club Melon remix CD — will be sent to fans who sign up for or renew their $50 U2.com membership for 2010. The new remix disc is the latest in a series of exclusive U2.com releases, including ZOO TV Live and Go Home: Live From Slane Castle, Ireland. Subscription details are here.
UPDATE 12/22/09: The full tracklist was posted by U2.com today. The Artificial Horizon CDs will be mailed to subscribers in late January (fans will be e-mailed when it ships).
UPDATE: 3/17/10: U2 is releasing Artificial Horizon on vinyl. Details here.

not “Starting at the sun”, it’s “Staring at the sun”
Ha, funny thing is, that tracklist — misspellings and all — was cut-and-pasted straight from U2.com. Which, I just checked, still lists the song as “Starting at the Sun.”
is there anyway to get this cd or to downloaded it
This is an album U stole from U2. I’m stealing it back!
