Short Sound Clip from Fez (curteousy of Daniel Lanois' 'Here is What Is'

[Zoo_Fly]

As per request from a few members, here is a new thread containing a link to a Youtube audio clip (sorry, no video since I had to conceal the camera), of U2 jamming in Fez this summer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5Ce3dDwZzI

The audio quality is on par with the beach clips, its a bit more clouded but also doesn't have those waves in the background.

It is only just over a minute long, but contains clips from 3 or 4 songs.

If you're interested in the initial reactions, there is a discussion in the 'Unseen Footage of U2 jamming....' thread as well as a cleaned up audio version from The_Edge89 on the 5th page.

Thank you so much for this!! It sounds very promising!

[Varitek]

It sounds like they are doing really interesting things with the rhythm. I also liked whatever Edge is cooking up at about 1:55.

 

[gherman]

The first song sounds very cool.

 

[AtomicBono]

the last one sounds great bass

 

[dr. zooeuss]

thanks for posting this!

 

[LemonMelon]

Thank you very much!

Sadly, I can't hear much of it though...the cleaned up version is a bit better, but the quality just isn't as good as last year's beach clips.

Here's an interview with Lanois where we get to see some U2 footage.

I love the first song, especially near the end when it jumps from the horn-noise to the classic Edge delay bit then back to the horn (guitar?).

 

[DevilsShoes]

Wow, the 49-54 section sounds great, a real monster, plus Bono sounds like his voice is on form. Really intrigued to see where this album goes.

 

[vaz02]

omfg sounding very fast cars, i love this sound.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

The Fast Cars comparison would make sense as Lanois described the new album as sounding "exotic" (he didn't mention this last night but I read it in a newspaper article).

 

[vaz02]

This is exactly the change in direction i think we were all hoping for.

 

[babyman]

Hmmmm, looks like they're working on a couple of new standards.
Maybe they're really tryin something different....................come on, let's come out with 5/4 and 6/8 songs!

Thanks to everyone who is posting these clips! I could not be more excited and it's probably way too early to be this excited. I am especially thrilled with the first two samples; some really interesting sounding stuff going on. Can't wait for the album! Please don't keep us waiting until Fall '08. Come on, guys.

 

[The_Edge89]

What's the link to the original file? I suspect that it has better audio.

Any Zootopian here?

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Amazing songs so far! thanks for shariong!!

 

[babyman]

There is something reminding me of that heavy acoustic distortion from Love And Peace Or Else, maybe they're tryin some hard riff

 

[Sicy]

I cant hear it too well but the beginning reminded me of Zoo Station and then it started to sound like reggae and then more like HTDAAB.

 

[ahittle]

Cool. Monster guitar riff without trying to scream RAWK. Reminded me a little of the Discotheque riff.

 

[U2DMfan]

So, we have this clip from the Lanois movie, what are the others?
I can't keep track of all the links.

Anyhow, drop the bass out, you can hear it a little better

my first guess, the Lou Reed sounding vocal
"They let the muddy water heal them"

 

[babyman]

What counts is: DISTORTION!!

YEAH, I WANT DISTORTION DISTORTIOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

What's the link to the original file? I suspect that it has better audio.

Hey Simon, here is the original link for you:

Btw, I have converted this into a different format if you are interested.

 

[The_Edge89]

Wow, thank you that's really great of you.

I'd love to have the converted file as well if it's no trouble.
My e-mail is theedge1989 <at> hotmail.com.
Either send it directly there if it isn't big or upload it to somewhere where I can download it.
Thank you again!

EDIT:
Here's the audio for the rest of you that don't want to watch the video to hear the songs.
