ILX admits promotion of U2 album was 'inappropriate' The ILX has admitted coverage of the launch of U2 album No Line On The Horizon last February, went too far - giving "undue prominence" to the band.Critics said the ILX had given U2 "the sort of publicity money can't buy". The corporation's editorial complaints unit (ECU) acknowledged that the cover version of the event, including a downloadable CD,, breached guidelines.
