answer: included on the album "Monster"
context: Title: E-Bow the Letter
  Passage: "E-Bow the Letter" is the first single from R.E.M.'s tenth studio album "New Adventures in Hi-Fi".  It was released in August 1996 just weeks before the album's release.  During the same month, R.E.M. signed its then record-breaking five-album contract with Warner Bros.  Records.  Although it peaked at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, the highest any R.E.M. song charted in the UK until "The Great Beyond" in 2000, the song fared less well in the United States, reaching only number 49 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.  It became R.E.M.'s lowest charting lead single since "Fall on Me" released from "Lifes Rich Pageant" in 1986, when the band was on a smaller record label, I.R.S. Records.
  Title: The Great Beyond
  Passage: "The Great Beyond" is a song by R.E.M. It is not featured on an original studio album as it was written specifically for the 1999 movie "Man on the Moon" but was released as a single the following year for support of the film's soundtrack album.  The single reached #3 in the UK singles chart in January 2000, the band's highest ever placing in that country.  The unedited version is included in two R.E.M. compilations: "In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003" and "Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011".  On the "Man on the Moon" soundtrack, there is some dialogue from the movie at the end of the track; meanwhile, the single version is a radio edit, with the bridge omitted.
  Title: The Inefficiency of Humans
  Passage: The Inefficiency of Humans was Servotron's final release.  Both songs are covers; side A (work side) is a R.E.M. song and side B (revolution side) is an Eddy Grant song.  The insert reads: "Soon the products you create shall decimate you.  Convert or regret - this is a message.  Automatic for the Robots."  This single was put out as a picture disc only.

  Title: Monster (R.E.M. album)
  Passage: Monster is the ninth studio album by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released in September 1994 on Warner Bros.  Records.  Co-produced by the band and Scott Litt and recorded in four different recording studios, "Monster" was an intentional stylistic shift from the group's preceding albums, "Out of Time" (1991) and "Automatic for the People" (1992), consisting of loud, distorted guitar tones and simple song arrangements.  Singer Michael Stipe's lyrics on the album dealt with the nature of celebrity, which he sang while assuming various characters.
  Title: Find the River
  Passage: "Find the River" is a song by R.E.M., released as the sixth and final single from their eighth album "Automatic for the People".  It was the twelfth and final track on this critically acclaimed release.  The song failed to chart on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and struggled on the UK Singles Charts, reaching #54 in December 1993.  It was the first R.E.M. song released as a single to fail to reach the top 40 on either chart since "Get Up" in 1989.
  Title: The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
  Passage: "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was influenced by the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", both in the title of the song and through the song's opening refrain.  (SongFacts writes, "Rather than follow industry practice and simply pilfer the song, R.E.M. paid for the rights to use it.  As part of the deal, R.E.M. were asked to do a cover of the original "Lion Sleeps Tonight".)  The band used "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" as the B-side to this song.  The song was released on R.E.M.'s 1992 album "Automatic for the People" and was later released as a single in 1993, reaching number 17 in the UK Singles Chart.
