NEW YORK, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The second volume of U2's Best of collection will be released by Interscope Records November 5, 2002. Covering the years from 1990 to 2000, the 16 tracks are highlights from the albums Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1, Pop and All That You Can't Leave Behind. Two brand new tracks have been recorded for this set: "Electrical Storm," which will be the album's first single, and "The Hands That Built America," which will be featured on the soundtrack to the forthcoming Martin Scorcese film The Gangs of New York released by Miramax in December 2002. The video for "Electrical Storm" is directed by Anton Corbijn and features Oscar-nominated actress Samantha Morton. Morton most recently starred opposite Tom Cruise in Steven Spielberg's summer blockbuster Minority Report.

Finally, a Best of 1990-2000 DVD will be released on December 3 and will feature promo videos of tracks from the A-sides CD, complete with commentary by the directors, who include Wim Wenders, Kevin Godley, Stephane Sednaoui, Anton Corbijn and Jonas Akerlund.
