"It's not finished yet but it's inspired by this concept of stand up. It's a little diamond, though," Bono said, speaking by telephone from Los Angeles.

Daniel Lanois brings his eclectic style to the stage

Daniel Lanois is at a creative peak these days -- his brain not only
brimming with the latest U2 licks, but also casting back 20 years to
reflect on the shaping of his first solo album, Acadie.

A repackaged version of his 1989 debut is in stores this month. Lanois
made himself available for a phone interview from New York City, where
he was working with Bono and the lads on the next U2 disc.

Will it be another Achtung Baby, or more like How to Dismantle An
Atomic Bomb? We were supposed to be talking about Acadie, but couldn't
resist pressing for hints about Lanois' most famous clients. U2 is due
to release the new disc next year.

"It's very sophisticated, rhythmically, " said a coy Lanois. "I'm
talking high-grade and wicked. We've gotten to a place, a combination
of myself and (Brian) Eno, I think we've just done something that's
never been done before. The president of the company is singing like a
bird."

Setlist: not available
Comments: Bono and Edge attend the annual meeting of Elevation Partners, a firm of which Bono is a founding member. For the event, the company fully booked Sam's Chowder House. Bono spoke to the assembled employees, partners, and investors and drew parallels between running a business and the creative process of writing music. Reports indicate that Bono and Edge then played two unreleased songs from the forthcoming new album, but no titles or other details are known.
