U2 - Achtung Baby - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Achtung Baby is the seventh studio album by Irish rockers U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 18 November 1991 on Island Records. U2 shifted their musical direction to incorporate influences from alternative rock, industrial music, and electronic dance music into their sound. Thematically, Achtung Baby is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. The album and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group's 1990s reinvention, by which they abandoned their earnest public image for a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one. Album Tracks 1. Zoo Station 2. Even Better Than the Real Thing 3. One 1. Until the End of the World 2. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses 3. So Cruel 1. The Fly 2. Mysterious Ways 3. Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World 1. Ultra Violet (Light My Way) 2. Acrobat 3. Love Is Blindness

Following the band's Zoo TV tour, which took aim at consumerism and media overload, U2 brought those themes and the complex, futuristic sound of it's preceding album, Achtung Baby, to their somewhat illogical conclusion on Zooropa, the group's most chaotic, cutting-edge work. The monotone techno-rap InchNumbInch leads the way, while InchLemonInch offers reminders of David Bowie's Berlin trilogy of more than a decade before. Best of all is InchThe Wanderer,Inch featuring a guest vocal by country-music icon Johnny Cash. His bottomless baritone sounds bizarre over burbling synthesizers, but Bono's trenchant lyric about a postapocalyptic seeker of sensation and experience before he repents nails Cash's legend at least as well as he ever has himself. Album Tracks 1. Zooropa 2. Babyface 3. Numb 4. Lemon 5. Stay (Faraway, So Close!) 6. Daddy's Gonna Pay for 7. Some Days Are Better Than Others 8. The First Time 9. Dirty Day 10. The Wanderer - U2, Johnny Cash
