Originally posted by Xayide29Hey, this is somethin I heard from our swedish U2 site
About the new album
According 2 them, they heard from the spanish site u2valencia.com that U2 have returned 2 Dublin today after a little break
And that they got one of the producers with them, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lilywhite
Lilywhite left Mercury Records 2 produce the bands latest studio album "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" in 2004.
Its now possible that his been called in too help with the mixin the new album too come
As of yet, its only speculations until its been confirmed official
The spanish sites transmitted are reporting that he were invited by Bono
When he stood outside the Hanover Quay Studios too hear new songs in the studio
That has been described as "psychedelic pop"
According too u2valencia.com the song is instrumental and has african influences in the beginnin and in the end of the song.
The song, who´s name unfortunetly remains unknown
Are further explained as too having a "powerful" bass line
And Lilywhite seemed very excited over the track in question
I translated it so u blame me if u cant understand somethin *LOL*
Dunno if u heard this already
And Im not quite sure how that goes with goin 2 France
But at least it might give an idea about the sound of the new album
Sounds good; I like psychidelica (Radiohead, maybe even Muse), the only thing I don't like is the part about the african influences, I hate that...
Seems like they also gonna put some dance influences back, because it has a strong bass line (I say: back to the 90's!

And Harry:
Producer Rick Rubin has reportedly been working with U2 on new material for their next album in the south of France.[1] On September 12, 2006 it was reported on the official U2 website that the band was working on a new album in Abbey Road Studios.
Speaking at Midem 2008, Paul McGuinness had said that the new album should be released in October 2008.[1]

EDIT: That's true, I forgot that he had to leave; it's Daniel Lanois right now indeed
