Updated 18+(!!!) minute audio thanks to our...friends at U2achtung

[Spun2U]

Is it the same 18 min version?

Yes.

 

[Irishteen]

hey maybe the end of 409 isn't a new song, but a continuation of the song...wouldn't that be great if U2 did something like Zooropa again, a song with totally different parts? though I guess it's unlikely since it completely stops for a second. but it could be...i LOVE the bassline at the very end

i'm so excited

If it didn't seem to stop, I would believe that, well hope for it

 

[LemonMelon]

Is it just me or does the last 10 seconds of 409 sound like something from a Franz Ferdinand song?

That's why I said "U2 doing Strokes justice". I hear the same basic thing.

 

[Axver]

Wow, I wake up and there's 18+ minutes!

 

[Niceman]

Wow, I wake up and there's 18+ minutes!

GOOD morning!

409

 

[XHendrix24]

Oh sweet Lord in heaven 409.

MORE. I WANT MORE.

 

[U2dork]

Axver, you're famous in France!

 

[U2Man]

U2's Abbey Road sound.

 

[Irishteen]

Good morning Axver

enjoy the new tunes

 

[Niceman]

The bass at the beginning of the track after 9 sounds very Cure-ish...

 

[stargift]

Quite a few posts say there is a similarity to the Beatles (which should be a compliment) I think that there is a similar sound to the guitar in "Free As A Bird'. I'm not a musician so I don't know if it is similar chords or maybe just the same brand of guitar or electronic gadgetry.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm logging off for a few hours; I hope I don't miss anything great!

Axver, you can take my place as prognosticator #568.

 

[Utoo]

Agreed.

 

[one4u2]

I actually like 402

 

[Axver]

Axver, you're famous in France!

I'm just reading over the threads - I can't believe that stuff is still circulating!

Maybe one day, I'll use my terrible singing to orchestrate a U2 hoax.

 

[waynetravis]

404 and 409 are my faves

 

[Lancemc]

Oh sweet Lord in heaven 409.

MORE. I WANT MORE.

Now tell me the truth, was my comparison not spot-on?

 

[MrBrau1]

409 sounds cool. But it's the least formed of all these.

404 and 402 sound like whole tunes, start to finish.

wow maybe this is were the song got its start... thanks of the link

 

[Lila64]

I actually like 402

Listening to it now

and the Lanois link might be old/outdated, I don't know. I didn't read the post on that other forum. Only noted that the first post was from October 2005....

 

[U2Man]

409 is a little Beatlesque too.

 

[Niceman]

400 is really growing on me. POWERFUL!

 

[xaviMF22]

409 is a little Beatlesque too.

more like arcade fire

 

[Roland of Gilead]

This is quite inspired by Arcade Fire.

 

[ntalwar]

I think 409 is more Joy Division-ish than Arcade Fire.

 

[Utoo]

The guitar bit at 1:28 and later in 402 has a hint of HMTMKMKM

 

[Irishteen]

This is quite inspired by Arcade Fire.

Yeah I know, and it's.........BRILLIANT!!!!

 

[Axver]

This is quite inspired by Arcade Fire.

I'll add that to my list of inspiration/influences/sounds-likes coined by Interferencers: Beatles, Arcade Fire, Bon Jovi, Christian soft rock.

And holy shit, 404 better be on the album, I haven't heard Edge sound that good in a while!

 

[U2vertigofly]

402 is pretty good i like it
