Discussion of U2's future: new singles, new tour, etc.

Le chroniqueur, Philippe Rezzonico du Journal de Montréal dévoile dans un article des remarques de Daniel Lanois vis à vis du nouvel album de U2 :

«Ça va être différent à bien des égards, mais je crois que c'est similaire sur un aspect, à savoir que ça va repousser les limites connues sur le plan sonore, comme Achtung Baby l'a fait dans le passé.»

«Maintenant, on travaille avec des périodes de création bien définies. On se réunit quelque part et on travaille deux semaines sur tous les aspects possibles. Puis, on vaque à d'autres occupations durant trois semaines avant de se réunir encore. Ça demande une forme de logistique, mais pour la création, c'est comme si tout était frais chaque fois que l'on se retrouve.»

«Je joue des instruments, je fais des voix hors champ. Bref, je fais que ce que je peux (sourire), dans la mesure où ça me permet de contribuer à l'ensemble.»

et de dire par rapport à la sortie de l'album enfin d'année :

«Concrètement, oui. On vient tout juste de le terminer. Quoique j'y retourne dans deux semaines pour la dernière fois, juste afin de compléter quelques mixes.»

The Journal of Montreal has an article about the new album with Daniel Lanois...I've done a very, very rough translation...

“It will be different in many aspects, but push the limits on the level of sound like Achtung Baby in the past. One works well with a period of creation, mets and works for two weeks on all possible outcomes. They are also occupied with other things three weeks before meeting again.” “I play of the instruments, I make voices except field. In short, I make that what I can (to smile), insofar as that enables me to contribute together.” and to say compared to the exit of the album at the end of the year: “Concretely, yes. One has just finished it. Though back in two weeks for the last time, just in order to finish some mixes.”

Do you ever worry that it's NOT going to be amazing, that you'll be totally disappointed? That would truly suck.

Same here, maybe expectations are rising too much..but what the heck.

yeah we do need to be a little realistic and know that we can't predict anything, but just judging from the seemingly smooth and organic recording process, the words of Eno and Lanois, particularly Lanois talking about "breaking sonic ground", is very exciting. Bono also hasn't been seen as much, like he was during the Bomb sessions, so the whole band really seem to be very dedicated to this album, and the fact that Bono has kept his pre-album hyperbole to a minimum is kind of exciting too, he's like; i'm not even gonna hype it, it will speak for itself.

my mind takes off sometimes haha
