Daniel Lanois in February Guitar Player
Long-time U2 producer and friend Daniel Lanois is featured in the February issue of Guitar Player magazine, talking about both his solo work and producing. Lanois, who is promoting his latest release, "Belladonna," had the following to say about recording "Achtung Baby" in Hansa Studios:
I’ve always found that roots and geography play a role in the music you make. By roots, I mean the music you grew up listening to, your friends, what turned you around as a teenager, and so on. And by geography, I mean that where you work influences what you do—particularly the space you record in. When I walk into a room, I sense right away what can happen there.
For example, U2’s Achtung Baby! was recorded in Berlin at the same studio that Iggy Pop and David Bowie used in the ’70s. It was cold and miserable, but we wanted to be in that room because there was something coming out of the walls that we could feel.
