1. Pop is something of a "problem child" in the u2 cannon.

    For me it was never quite the album that could have been.
    Considering the wealth of material that was there in the years after "Zooropa" there simply wasn't enough good songs on the album they kind of threw some of their best songs out on other projects than "Pop", and the production wasn't quite up to par. It was an interesting album at first but comparing the production with later years remixes the album didn't have U2's usual high standard.

    Since then U2 has made remixes of some of the songs on Best of 1990-2000 that sound more U2ish.

    As an afterthought I made an CD-r of Pop - revisited. A lot of the songs are cut and a couple from the Passengers album is on there. It's just good fun, but i do believe this compilation is a lot stronger than Pop.

  2. One day when the Mofo Underworld Remix comes out - if ever - I think that'd be way too awesome. It's a shame that none of the DVDs that contain the studio audio of any Pop song ever came in DTS mixes, because then I could strip out the vocals and have like a Nine Inch Nails-esque mix of Mofo.

    Maybe the 1990-2000 DVD has a 6channel mix - I'll have to find out. I did that with some of the Chinese Democracy tracks and have some kind of extreme guitar mix with absolutely awesome effects as well as my own added vocals on some parts (a falsetto and deeper voice).

    I shall share my Pop and new HTDAAB alt tracklistings sometime soon. Gotta rip them first though!
