    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."

    o god they are killing me

    enough about 'birds'....lol

    It's Achtung revolution for U2 here, I think.


  3. lol i thought the same thing about birds, and yes, I agree with you


  4. haha the word birds doesn't seem to fall here so well.


  5. i think it's just because Lanois used the same expression to describe Bono awhile ago


  6. yeah or because the Brian Eno birds-project

    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.
  10. The same here. Everyone has a mobile phone to make a video or record a few wminutes of music, I doubt no one in all that audience recorded nothing...

    They may have been told explicitly to hand all recording devices over. A lot of record advance parties and PR events have that rule. Especially for songs from one of the biggest bands in the world. After the last French CD incident, I'd say U2 don't want to take any risks in having anything leaked early.

    That said, it's possible someone had a recording device hidden on them, and not a mobile phone. But did any of the staff know Bono and Edge were coming to visit?

    That's why I doubt someone had a proffesional mic and such things hidden, but it's much muuuch more likely that someone had his/her mobile phone recording, isn't it? And if I was at that advance party, I would not switch my mobile phone off
