U2 – The Unforgettable Fire

Heavyweight vinyl format with a 16 page booklet with liner notes by Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Bert van de Kamp and unseen photos. U2’s fourth album, The Unforgettable Fire is the first with the production team of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. And while they take a strong hand in wrestling U2’s music out of the mainstream and into a more individualistic area, it’s the songs themselves that demand a more subtle approach. Moody gems such as A Sort of Homecoming and the entrancing Bad set the table for more explosive fare such as Pride, Wire and the title track. This is the album that made U2 a career act, showing that their music could grow by leaps and bounds, even at the hand of another, without sacrificing its soul.
