[gvox]

LOVE IT!!!!

Then again, U2 can do no wrong on this song as far as I'm concerned!

it is fun and very interesting. I am glad it wasnt on the album though

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

a little too "the lion sleeps tonight" for me but interesting nonetheless...

Yes - that's exactly what I was thinking! I much prefer the original.

So, was this an alternate mix from back in the day, or a more recent reworking? It is definitely fun to hear the new version.

for those who don't feel like downloading the leak:

YouTube - U2 - A Sort Of Homecoming (Daniel Lanois Remix)

o-wym-oh-way, o-wym-oh-way...

 

[gvox]

Is this the Peter Gabriel assisted one? If so, it's clearly tapping that vibe that PG loved to use (I think Biko to So?) to nice effect.

Is this part of whats supposed to be on the u2.com gift cd for renewal?

 

[dan_smee]

didnt know they released the track list for the gift?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I will say that when I listened to it again when I was posting that youtube link the drums sound waaayyy better than the album version - I hope this bodes well for the album version's remaster.

no, this is off TUF remaster...

I think you'll be right...I really really loved the mix (finally!) on JT when it was remastered...hopefully this will be more of the same!

Thanks. My lazy ass hasnt bought it yet.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Thanks. My lazy ass hasnt bought it yet.

you'd better get on that.

 

[Vlaco]

The original is thousand times better. Lanois rmx is fun to listen to though.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Really, really liking this. The rhythm section sounds great...the drums and that awesome bass line are more crisp and clear. Good shit.

 

[dan_smee]

if nothing else, comparing this to the original is the perfect way to decipher the difference between Lanois and Eno's styles

Spoiler

the release date is the 27th, so you're not lazy

Well that shows how much attention I've been paying. Yay not lazy!

i'm the same. i only discovered disappearing act last night. apparently there had been a small clip of it that was posted back in august.

 

[BVS]

It has a lot Peter Gabriel influence to it...

I just listened to it today because someone suggested they play it on the tour and I was like wtfsongisthat?

 

[gvox]

^ Confession: me also.

I was going to wait and then saw that thread. I caved in.

Plus, Carlos is such an enabler.

 

[powerhour24]

It's fun, but as a bonus clip only, obviously wouldn't fit the vibe of TUF.

That is surprising, there was quite a long thread when that clip surfaced. But, it's OK, you got to hear the whole thing for the first time.

very very spot on....i feel this way about all of the trax I have heard from the new bonus disk...such a great feel to these sessions...I even admire the wire remixes...

is this lanois mix done recently or was it done back in '84?

Yeah I've seen the thread but never opened it. I cant open every thread here or I'll lose my mind.
