NLOTH and Split Enz...

[tommycharles]

Does anyone else hear "My Mistake" in the title track? Just Bono's little vocal "woah", but it's so close to the Enz song it makes me wonder if he ever got into their music.

Now back to your regularly scheduled fawning over the album (well deserved, I think).

I hear Electrical Storm in the album mix, and I hear The Killers/young U2 in the Alternate version.

Wha?? This forum isn't really the place, but you must become acquainted, they were fantastic

I'm a huge Enz fan and My Mistake's in my top ten Enz tracks, but I'm not hearing this comparison.

One of the "oh" parts that Bono sings is exactly the same as the "oh" part when Tim is doubling the trumpet part in My Mistake, was all. In retrospect I overstated the case. Obviously overall the two are completely different tunes.

I hear "Dolce Vita" by Peter Gabriel, maybe I'm insane then?

With U2, I always get the sense they should have called the cd's WHIHTB?
(Where have I heard this before? lol). Bono is a trickster that way - Dylan writes about it in his Biography "Careful what you say around Bono")
