Disappearing Act

[digitize]

I like Wave of Sorrow, but it's not something I go about listening to every day. The music is very 80s, and the vocals seem almost awkward on top of it. But I still do like it... the lyrics are excellent. I haven't even bothered listening to Angels.

This, on the other hand, has the TUF ambiance that I love in the background, but the band seem to have channeled a very twenty-first century feel on top of it. I can't wait to hear the whole thing.

Ooh, I finally did listen to it just now. I approve.

 

[zoocarolina]

Can someone send me the mp3 of the song clip from the radio broadcast at bbrantly@carolina.rr.com, very exciting! Sounds great!

 

[mikal]

yeah, not to turn this into a request thread, but if someone did make an mp3, i'd love to have it too.

heck yeah. i made a mix recently of my faves from NLOTH, UF, Passengers, etc, and Angels fits really well, just has a great atmosphere.

On the U2France site, just click the little button to the right of the play button that looks like an eject button to direct-download the MP3.

 

[bonocomet]

I sent the mp3, please feel free to pass it along.

Shame how Angels' lyrics, like Wave Of Sorrow's, are a complete fail.

You know, WOS would be almost tolerable if it weren't for that embarrassing last verse. It would've been better left as an instrumental.

 

[zoocarolina]

This one has some great promise!

 

[The Sad Punk]

It sounds alright, but my favourite thing about the UF era was probably Bono's voice, and my least favourite thing about the present era is Bono's voice, so I'm kind of torn.

 

[dan_smee]

The thing I love about UF is that it is EVERYONES strong era. Every other album you can point to a weaker link. UF is perfect. Anything from the UF sessions can only be awesome, and I lvoe b's voice now.

PS, Dig, Angels is the balls. It is my alarm tone

 

[coolian2]

angels is terrible. whenever i hear the start i unconsciously reach for the skip button on whatever music player i'm using. wave of sorrow is much better, but still rather weak.

 

[dan_smee]

Angels is amazing. You have no soul

 

[coolian2]

Angels is amazing. You have no soul

correct, but i do have ears.

 

[mama cass]

Given this is the band that put 4th Of July and MLK on the album while casting aside Bass Trap, The Three Sunrises, Love Comes Tumbling, and the two Boomerangs, I wouldn't say that. The "cast-asides" could prove rather good.

Love Comes Tumbling was a cast-aside??

blimey...

 

[Bonogirl777]

Wow. From what I can hear, this song is going to shape up to be a great one.

 

[Rob33]

dammit, this is frustrating...I'm alrady imagining this live

I want the whole song...nowwwwwww

Part of me wishes they would just save this song and try to fit on SoA somehow....it just sounds so good....it won't get proper exposure on the TUF remaster.

 

[kennerado]

Would of been better if it was untouched from 84 even it if was unfinished with no vocals.

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

fuck this songs sound amazing

 

[dan_smee]

song is gold. I am loving the gems we have been getting. Obviously id love a cd full of unreleased stuff, but cant complain about saturday night, wave f sorrow, angels. brilliant


This song is sooooo

 

[alanah]

correct, but i do have ears.

 

[youarenotimmune]

they seem to have really brought this song to their 2000s tone - it seems like a really uplifiting, optimistic song. which are two words you would never associate with the unforgettable fire era (Pride being the only real exception i guess).

but since i love joyous U2 as much as I love the more contemplative, darker U2, i'm goin to give this a big ! can't wait to hear it in full!

 

[trinx]

I want more.

 

[U2girl]

So I'm the only person not excited by this?

And I'm the one known for being the UF fanlad too ...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

When I first read the contents of the interview on @U2 I actually thought that this 'Disappearing Act' song would be on SoA (because of the recent work on it) but then I realised it's just on the UF remaster, I guess that's alright.

yeah, i'm not a big fan of WOS either. i feel a lot different about Angels though. plus, i'm not a lyric guy. i'm more into the music.
