Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me in Bloomington, MN

When is more less? This CD single is from
U2
's 1995 contribution to the
Batman Forever
soundtrack
. This single (from a great

"Themes From Batman Forever"
and
"Tell Me Now"

Zooropa
recording sessions.

for the movie. Wisely, he instead offered to contribute to the
.  Instead of buying this single, buy the
, which includes great songs by
the Devlins
,
Eddi Reader
, and others. It is a shame that
's only non-album single of the 1990s would be so unessential. ~ JT Griffith
