Read Flanagan!
Short version: Edge eats a whole jar of mushrooms (no idea of jar size), just to see what will happen. Feels nothing, goes to bed. Wakes up high as a kite, convinced he's found the Secret of the Universe. Decides to record it so he'll remember in the morning. Giggles at red light on tape recorder. Speaks the Secret, before exiting Earth completely.
Next day, plays back tape, realises he'd been holding the recorder upside down and there's nothing but incomprehensible gobbledygook. (I dunno that the orientation of the recorder would have made much difference, there.)
OK, now I'm confused why you're debating what album this affected and when it happened when it's in Flanagan's book.
And I'm still lost how it suddenly came up in the middle of nowhere, unless I missed a post ...

I saw Paul McCrtney Live in the 1980's ,and he was quire entertaining.
But the Hey Jude was amazing,
The joke is: On Di you can only use one artist on your list, HOWEVER, there's a loophole in that you can use a band and a member of that band's solo work. SO, in theory you could use:
THE BEATLES
John Lennon
The Yoko Ono Band
Paul McCartney
Wings
Ringo Starr
George Harrison
The Traveling Wilburys.

Maybe I could just stand up on the nearest bridge over the Tullamarine Freeway and you could throw it to me.
This sounds like a challenge for which I could use an ambient post-rock album and a raw black metal album.
That could work, except I can't throw to save my life. Spaghetti arms + total lack of hand-eye co-ordination = disaster.
The segue wasn't too bad... but the individual sheer awesomeness of both songs would probably negate any awkwardness in the segue.

She said that she's pretty sure Captive is the album that was affected by the Mushroom incident.
And I haven't actually read Flanagan's book because I call bullshit on most of the material, so that was the first time I'd heard the whole story
.

That's a good point, it's just that, like I said, I find it so funny how many threads have been started with people trying to guess, when all the guessing always leads to Zooropa anyways.
But you gotta think Edge was on some illicit drug to have accepted a contract with THAT movie anyways
Well, it can't have been Zooropa, unless Mr Flanagan is completely misrepresenting the timing of things in his book. Which is entirely possible.
True! I haven't actually seen the film, but everything I heard about it makes me not want to.

The anecdote is relayed by Flanagan in the book (why, I can't quite recall... you can tell me when you get up to it!), but without stating WHEN this supposedly happened.
Listening to Captive now, it seems a likely pre-Zoo candidate!
I'm thinking I should do this:
PORCUPINE TREE
Steven Wilson
Blackfield
No-Man
Incredible Expanding Mindfuck
Bass Communion
Continuum
Japan
Rain Tree Crow
The Dolphin Brothers
Ex-Wise Heads
Plus songs Steven Wilson has produced by:
Opeth
Anathema
Fish
Marillion
Anja Garbarek
Paatos

Rarely anymore, but I used to. And I think Edge is hots
He's so
in the flesh ,such a soft gentle voice 
Rarely anymore, but I used to. And I think Edge is hots
I do hope you only mean pre-UF Edge.

He's so
He didn't say anything to me.
*still kicking self for brainfreeze*
How old is Steve Wilson? Wasn't Japan an 80s band?
Ah, but SW wasn't in all the bands I listed! Richard Barbieri was in Japan, Rain Tree Crow, and The Dolphin Brothers (his presence now in PT is a continual source of WTFery to Khan and I). Colin Edwin is in Ex-Wise Heads.

The number of times you post that, one may suspect that you haven't entirely left your PLEBAn days behind you...
We'll be gentle wth you
And you forgot Liam
I don't trust you types. You ostensibly all still like U2. That's just not the Interference way!
Liam is a forgettable little man.

I like laying down the PLEBA pwnage.
I just wish I had more opportunities to use the Kunstmuseum posters and lay down the EYKIW pwnage.

I would have thought almost every post in EYKIW was an opportunity for pwnage.

The only time I haven't had a mad crush on Edge was during TJT, and even then I still had a crush. Edge is the only man with long hair that has still made my heart all a flutter
Have I pleba'd it up enough for you for one day?

God I love Can't Carry On. Seriously, Mean to Me hooked me, Can't Carry On reeled me in
We're rebels
And Liam is neither Unforgettable or little
Actually, I don't think the Superthread was originally "U2 sucks" territory. Vazza and Ian are still fans. Andrew and I aren't.
Yes, yes he is. Why, I've forgotten his name already!
I meant on the Superthread. I'd love to randomly break out things like the 3AM and FLOWER CHILD posters, but there just seem to be more opportunities to use BLURRY PICTURES.
