U2 ‎– Autumn Fire - The Homecoming. Label: Amazing Stork Records ‎– 7481. Format: 2 Vinyl, LP, Unofficial Release. A Sort Of Homecoming. A6. MLK. B1. The Unforgettable Fire. B2. Sunday Bloody Sunday. B4. In God's Country.

A Sort of Homecoming" is the first song of U2's 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire. A live version of the track is found on 1985's four-track EP, Wide Awake in America. It is also the only song with lyrics inside the sleeve for the album. As the opening track on The Unforgettable Fire, "A Sort of Homecoming" epitomises the new direction U2 had taken. A far more atmospheric album than the previous overt-rock of War, the album has a rich and orchestrated sound.

The Unforgettable Fire was U2's first studio collaboration with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. There were several significant re-issues including one in October 1996 as part of the Island Master series and one as part of the MFSL Ultradisc series in both the 12" vinyl and 5" CD formats with a slightly longer version of 4th Of July. Other unusual releases from around the world included a Mexican release on the Bertelsmann label as part of the Rockollector series. The album was certified multi-platinum by the RIAA with 3 million units sold. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, The Unforgettable Fire reached N. 4 on the album charts and stayed in the charts a total of 3 weeks. It was also selected as Best Album at Ireland's Music Industry Awards and in the Hot Press Reader's Poll, it was voted the No. 1 album by readers.

The first time I heard the Palmolive sample and instrumental, I started to actually CRY! I didn't get any sleep thanks to this fuckin' album.

Songs Of Ascent is an album title that has been in play since Bono mentioned it in March, 2009 album titles. But in late 2017, Adam may have put Songs Of Ascent to bed when he said that, while the band will have "lots of leftover pieces" when it comes time to make a new album, "I'm sure we'll start from scratch.
