thank you

hmm...

 

[last unicorn]

Wave after wave sounds like a good title.

I didn't know the video was filmed by Larry.

 

[U2girl]

Great video. Loaded with hints.

 

[josh82]

atmospheric and meditative? Could these be the words describing the sound of new album?

 

[mikaelmi]

obviously, the process is over, the album is finished, they've reached the other other side. Now it's time to lean back and wait for 2009.

 

[PowerSurge]

there is obviously no line on the horizon....

Just about the only confirmation that comes from the video.

 

[U2lunatic]

the clips are becoming more substantial.. something's coming very soon.

yes, another video

 

[topplehatU2]

We've been saying something's coming soon since that video with Adam driving around.

 

[The_Edge89]

Dallas + Sea and Sky makes a great combo don't you think?

 

[Utoo]

IMO, this is the perfect "last video" before they come out with final album news and/or a single. With the lack of music and the obvious implication of the album or single title, to me it creates the perfect amount of anticipation and eagerness that one would want to build right before the big release.

The other videos had little tidbits that individually and even together don't amount to very much, nor do they necessarily give a huge indication of what the album will be like overall. This video, however, is a clear message to those who already have heard of the phrase "No Line on the Horizon," and thus probably gives the most complete clue of any of the videos yet. For me, the other videos had me wanting more videos for more tidbits; this video has me wanting the album.

If I were U2, I wouldn't release any more videos at all from now until the album's or single's release----and I'd release that single soon!

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

With this video, Im predicting the album will be released January 13th.

actually I agree with everything here

while I do want more videos, obviously, this video makes me think of getting the album more than it makes me think of next week's video

 

[bazza]

[bonocomet]

I think bazza might be talking about the clip that was posted on Flikr? It's on you tube now and there is a thread for it.

 

[Ronnie269]

Oh that clip, dam I thought we had something new!
well If it is a video shoot I guess we will have a full song soon

Thanks Comet!

Ummm....the single maybe.
Album? Not a chance.
March at the earliest....

Yes; based on the patterns of the waves coming in, I have mathematically calculated the release date and have reached the same conclusion.

Yeah, hasn't someone - I can't remember right now if it was Lanois or someone from the band - described the new music exactly like that?

 

[The_Edge89]

Yeah, hasn't someone - I can't remember right now if it was Lanois or someone from the band - described the new music exactly like that?

"Polyrhythmic" - Bono
"Fez was a drummer's paradise" - Bono
"It's very sophisticated, rhythmically" - Lanois
"Handplayed & Electro" - Lanois
"I was interested in the drum feels and that track 'Crosstown Traffic' has an incredible drum performance." - Lanois

"We're working with loose rhythmic structures" - Adam
"Later in the afternoon the strings have left the studio and all attention is focused on a group of percussionists that has arrived." - u2.com
"One song they have been working on sounds like a soultrack with distinct arabic rhythms" - u2.com
"They don't play in 4/4-time. They play in 5/4, 6/8 and 3/4-time." - Larry

The last ones I translated myself because I don't have access to the original reports from last year. To me all of that sounds like the total opposite of "atmospheric and meditative" expect for the Dallas track, Here Is What Is clip #4 and Brian Eno's description of Moment of Surrender.

Then there's the Lanois quote about the sound of Adam's bassguitar, I can't find it at the moment and the "Psychedelic Pop"-song that made Lilywhite go bonkers apparently.
