U2 Release 'Artificial Horizon' Remix Album

While U2 still hasn't released their promised follow-up to 'No Line on the Horizon,' the band has something to hold fans over, as they've released a new album of remixed tracks called 'Artificial Horizon.'

The triple-vinyl album features 13 songs remixed by some of today's top DJs and producers, including Influx, Justice and Hot Chip. Even Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor makes an appearance with a new version of 'Vertigo.' The collector's set is similar to 1995's 'Melon: Remixes for Propaganda,' which was a fan club exclusive.

U2 originally planned to record another album of songs titled 'Songs of Ascent' and release it in 2009. Instead, Bono told Ireland's Independent in December that the new material will hopefully be out by this summer, so it looks like this remix album will have to keep fans satisfied till then.

Fans can order 'Artificial Horizon' online until May 14.
