Zooropa and Best of 1980-1990 also being reissued on vinyl Surprisingly, despite the lavishness of ‘s 2011 reissue of Achtung Baby (five physical formats, including vinyl box, super deluxe and uber deluxe editions) there was no straightforward and affordable just-the-album-on-vinyl re-release of the 1991 long-player. That has now been corrected and a vinyl edition will be issued in July. This will be a double LP edition with both records sliding into a wide-spined sleeve.

While looking for public celebrations, they mistakenly ended up joining an anti-unification protest. Expecting to be inspired in Berlin, U2 instead found the city to be depressing and gloomy. The collapse of the Berlin Wall had resulted in a state of malaise in Germany. The band found their East Berlin hotel to be dismal and the winter inhospitable, while Hansa Studios' location in an ballroom added to the 'bad vibe'. Complicating matters, the studios had been neglected for years, forcing Eno and Lanois to import recording equipment. The initial recording sessions took place at Berlin's in late 1990 in a former ballroom.

We call it Achtung Baby, grinning up our sleeves in all the photography. But it's probably the heaviest record we've ever made. It tells you a lot about packaging, because the press would have killed us if we'd called it anything else.' U2 considered several other titles for the album, including Man (in contrast to the group's debut, ), 69, Zoo Station, and Adam, the latter of which would have been paired with the nude photo of Clayton.

Eno also assisted them through a crisis point one month before the recording deadline; he recalled that 'everything seemed like a mess', and he insisted the band take a two-week holiday. The break gave them a clearer perspective and added decisiveness. After work at Elsinore finished in July, the sessions moved to where Eno, Flood, Lanois, and previous U2 producer the tracks. Each producer created his own mixes of the songs, and the band either picked the version they preferred or requested that certain aspects of each be combined. Additional recording and mixing continued at a frenetic pace until the 21 September deadline, including last-minute changes to 'The Fly', 'One', and 'Mysterious Ways'. The Edge estimated that half of the sessions' work was done in the last three weeks to finalise songs. The final night was spent devising a running order for the record.

Morale worsened once the sessions commenced, as the band worked long days but could not agree on a musical direction. The Edge had been listening to electronic dance music and to bands like,,, and. He and Bono advocated new musical directions along these lines. In contrast, Mullen was listening to acts such as,, and, and he was learning how to 'play around the beat'.

EDITORS’ NOTES On their first album of the '90s, U2 succeeds at a game few bands pull off—adding new elements to their sound without sacrificing the strength of their original musical vision. Producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno's electronic beats and impressionistic synths spin a new kind of sonic gold. The hypnotically groovy 'Mysterious Ways' and the surging ballad 'One' maintain the band's commercial credibility, while stranger, more experimental efforts, like 'The Fly,' offer a peek into their complex and intriguing dark side.

Engineer Robbie Adams said the approach raised morale and activity levels: 'There was always something different to listen to, always something exciting happening.' To record all of the band's material and test different arrangements, the engineers utilised a technique they called 'fatting', which allowed them to achieve more than 48 tracks of audio by using a 24-track, a machine, and a synchroniser. The focus on capturing the band's material and encouraging the best performances meant that little attention was paid to combating.

Although the record sold 14 million copies and performed well on music charts, critics were dismissive of it and the film, labelling the band's exploration of early as 'pretentious' and 'misguided and bombastic'. U2's high exposure and their reputation for being overly serious led to accusations of grandiosity and self-righteousness. Prior to recording Achtung Baby, and (pictured in 2015) began working more closely together on songwriting without the other band members. Despite their commercial popularity, the group were dissatisfied creatively; lead vocalist believed they were musically unprepared for their success, while drummer said, 'We were the biggest, but we weren't the best.' By the band's 1989, they had become bored with playing their greatest hits. U2 believe that audiences misunderstood the group's collaboration with musician on Rattle and Hum and the Lovetown Tour, and they described it as 'an excursion down a dead-end street'.

The band struggled with one particular song—later released as the B-side 'Lady With the Spinning Head'—but three separate tracks, ', ' and ', were derived from it.

They wrote the music primarily through, a common practice for them. The album represents a deviation from the sound of their past work; the songs are less anthemic in nature, and their musical style demonstrates a more European aesthetic, introducing influences from, industrial music, and electronic dance music. The band referred to the album's musical departure as 'the sound of four men chopping down The Joshua Tree'. Accordingly, the distorted to the opening track ' was intended to make listeners think the record was broken or was mistakenly not the new U2 album.

Amidst layers of distorted guitars, 'The Fly' and 'Zoo Station' feature industrial-influenced percussion —the of Mullen's drums exhibits a 'cold, processed sound, something like beating on a tin can', according to author Albin Zak. Whereas Bono exhibited a full-throated vocal delivery on the group's previous releases, for Achtung Baby he extended his range into a lower and used what Fast described as 'breathy and subdued colors'. On many tracks, including 'The Fly' and 'Zoo Station', he sang as a character; one technique used is what Fast called 'double voice', in which the vocals are doubled but sung in two different. This octave differentiation was sometimes done with vocals simultaneously, while at other times, it distinguishes voices between the verses and choruses. According to Fast, the technique introduces 'a contrasting lyrical idea and vocal character to deliver it', leading to both literal and ironic interpretations of Bono's vocals. For several tracks, his vocals were treated with.

We were starting to lose trust in the conventional sound of rock & roll—the conventional sound of guitar. Those big reverb-laden drum sounds of the '80s or those big, beautiful, pristine vocal sounds with all this lush ambience and reverb. So we found ourselves searching for other sounds that had more life and more freshness.' —The Edge, explaining the band's motivation for seeking a new sound U2 is credited with composing the music for all of Achtung Baby 's tracks, despite periods of separated songwriting.

Like Clayton, he was more comfortable with a sound similar to U2's previous work and was resistant to the proposed innovations. Further, the Edge's interest in dance club mixes and made Mullen feel that his contributions as a drummer were being diminished. Lanois was expecting the 'textural and emotional and cinematic U2' of The Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree, and he did not understand the 'throwaway, trashy kinds of things' on which Bono and the Edge were working. Compounding the divisions between the two camps was a change in the band's longstanding songwriting relationship; Bono and the Edge were working more closely together, writing material in isolation from the rest of the group. 'At the instant we were recording it, I got a very strong sense of its power. We were all playing together in the big recording room, a huge, eerie ballroom full of ghosts of the war, and everything fell into place. It was a reassuring moment, when everyone finally went, 'oh great, this album has started.'
