1. I thought of that immediately after posting but felt too lazy to edit. Yeah, spot on. Most of the world's and U2's concept of "intimate" are really far away
  2. Its a sign from God, to hurry the fuck up before there will be no place anymore to record
  3. Nice house must that be, next door to the studio
    As long the grand canal doesn't flood
  4. Obviously the recording studio is just brimming with material. It's not high winds, it just can't take it anymore.

  5. HAHAHA!! Epic Kieran

    Luckily Edge is on fire so water can do no harm there.
  6. "It's about returning to the music that got us inspired in the first place. It's raw but it's definitely guitar-driven, with the German influence of that era."

    which German influence would that be? does he mean AB/Berlin, or earlier?

    ooooh exciting times!
  7. I think they mean Kraftwerk (you can definitely hear them in Invisible), Neu, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and similars.
  8. He mentions Neu! and Can too. Sounds promising to my ears.
  9. Sounds -tentatively- like shit to my ears, but if the result is something remotely close to Achtung Baby it will be worth it.
