In an era when a lot of bands thake the better part of a decade between new projects, U2 is busy with three new recordings.  The news is more remarkable given that the Irish Rockers have found the time to work on them while involved in one of the more extensive world tours ever staged.  Bono, who last week put out word that the group was working on a 'club sounding album', has also revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that there are two other albums in the works, one a project he describes as a work of meditative psalms.  Bono tells RS it's possible  that the group will decide to cull the best songs from each of the three and put them on a single album, something Chris Martin of Coldplay suggested.  News U2 is venturing even farther from the core appealing sound that made them one of the world's biggest bands is surprising, especially after the group expressed disappointment that the last studio release, No Line On The Horizon, failed to impress a lot of fans.
