U2 – Mysterious Ways

Only 2 copies were pressed apparently? Yet 3 s have a copy I can see in the statistics section. Not sure the information on this is correct on amount of these in the wild.

The Apollo 440 Magi Hour remix for me ...if you like a swirling deep space soundscape with no beats! Ace!

Despite being very successful in music, Bono and U2 really wanted to hear their music at a dance club or rave party, especially with the rise of Electronic music. This was the catalyst for this single. It must have been a weird experience for a diehard U2 fan hearing those "Techno" beats.

I've always been a big fan of this remix single, which is mostly Apollo 440 reworkings. Something about the way the Grays altered the song managed to keep the aesthetic of the original and even further it in certain ways, while pushing a danceable side on the Solar Plexus versions, and a very spacious, relaxed-but-intense ambient burn on the Magic Hour version. Each mix is clearly recognizable as being "Mysterious Ways"—there's no wholesale gutting or chopping of the structure going on, but rather an enriching of the original formula. Even at its most energetic, it's still a somehow very soothing and reassuring song, grand in scope, but beguilingly nocturnal.

Some comes with misprint CD (4 tracks print but still play 5 tracks)

I've always loved the Perfecto mix, how Paul made somewhat of an "Extended LP Mix" that suits the song well. However, I'm baffled as to why on earth he omitted the first verse from his version, instead opting to use the second verse in its place so that we hear it twice? Bizarre decision.
