The soundtrack for the 1986 UK film "Captive" is the only solo album to date by The Edge, guitarist of U2.

The Edge approached Michael Brook, creator of the Infinite Guitar, which The Edge regularly uses, to collaborate on this soundtrack album; Brook co-produced and helped with the instrumentals and some of the writing.

Edge also approached a young vocalist just beginning to appear on the Dublin scene to provide vocals for the main theme. This was Sinéad O'Connor, who would shortly afterwards release her debut album. Larry Mullen Jr also provided drums on the main theme.

The music on "Captive" is a mix of ambient styles. The majority of tracks are instrumentals. The track "Heroine" was released as a single.
