U2 Diagnosed With Vertigo for New Album?New domain registrations may suggest upcoming album title
@U2,
June 29, 2004
If history is any indication, U2's next studio album might be named Vertigo.
The evidence suggesting the album title comes in the form of three domain names which were registered last week, U2vertigo.com, U2vertigo.net, and U2vertigo.org. The domains were registered June 22nd by a James Cooke of Dublin, and all domains point to nameservers at Digital:CC -- that's the Dublin-based web and multimedia production company co-owned by Adam Clayton's brother, Sebastian. Cooke is listed as the contact person for Digital:CC at the company's listing at CreativeIreland.com. Contacted this week by @U2, Regine Moylett, U2's publicity director in London, didn't confirm or deny if Vertigo was the new album name, or one of the names being considered. She did tell @U2 the album name is "not yet known." History suggests, however, that Vertigo may be one of the names being considered for the new album. In the summer of 2000, just months before the release of All That You Can't Leave Behind, Digital:CC registered more than a dozen names that referenced U2-related phrases. (See our August 11, 2000, story.) The first names they registered were U2allthatyoucantleavebehind.com and allthatyoucantleavebehind.com. And much like the recent registration of U2vertigo.com, these older names were also registered by the same James Cooke of Digital:CC. Compare here: Domain: U2vertigo.com Domain: U2allthatyoucantleavebehind.com As far as we know, U2vertigo.com, U2vertigo.net, and U2vertigo.org are the only domain names to be registered that may be related to the new U2 album. However, it's very possible that other names we're not aware of have also been registered, and that the Vertigo domain names have nothing at all to do with the album. But we think history suggests otherwise, and we'll continue to seek confirmation and further information about the name of the next U2 album.
