Torrent description

U2

The POP Collection


4CD Fan-Made Compilation by gonzalo76 (aka stones4ever)



COMMENTS:



This is everything I have from the Pop era. As ussual, there are a lot of remixes that only appeared on vinyls or promos... which I don't have them.



If you're a U2 fan, you probably have all or some of these tracks, so, there's no need to download the complete torrent. You can only select the tracks you need in your torrent client. uTorrent supports this option by the way.



Contains 6 bonus tracks, from Passengers and Batman Forever OST.



North And South Of The River (Christy Moore studio version I) was kindly sent to me by john2u.



Burn this compilation in DAO (Disc-At-Once) mode with NO silence between tracks because some live songs are from the same show and you don't want to hear an annoying silence gap between them, right? Anyway, I always burn Audio CDs like that.

'U2 are always looking to capture a moment of inspiration and then you craft the song into that. You might spend a whole day jamming, then you'll get one of those moments and people will come into the control room and start working on it straight away.' Flood, producer.



'My role was the aggravator. I was there to challenge. To turn them on. ...They knew they wanted to make a fuck-off album. I knew they wanted to make something different. They had this hunger to make new music. ....Pop is a magic album. I listen to it, there's music there, songs, beats. I'm glad I had something to do with it...' Howie B, 'vibemaster'



'Edge I'd describe as a gardener, larry as a chef, adam as a keen polo expert and bono as a very enthusiastic beachcomber. Fucking characters. Funny as fuck.' Howie B

OTHER NOTES:



After Zooropa there passed a very long time without a 'U2' album. It was almost four years between U2 albums, but that break was filled with the Passengers project. The album was critically panned, and regarded by many as not one of their finest efforts. The electronica sounds were perhaps a little too ahead of their time.



Even the band itself was unhappy with the final result. This stemmed from the fact that the Popmart tour was planned before the album was completed. Due to the scheduling of these dates, when the spring of 1997 arrived, the band had no choice but to release an album they felt wasn't quite finished. Last minute recording, remixing etc. also cut into rehersal time for the new tour, and resulted in many shakey performances at the start of the tour.



The album, however, has some of U2's finest song and lyric writing, which could be better appreciated as the continual touring on these songs strengthened their performances. Single versions of many of the songs would be rerecorded as the tour progressed for release. The overall audience and critical reaction probably was a major factor in returning to a radio friendly sound on All That You Can't Leave Behind, an album that Larry once mentioned should have been the one called Pop.



In Canada, the release of the album came early. On February 28, 1997 a chain of record stores in Western Canada, A&B Sound, put the album out for sale five days early. This lead to other chains also putting the album on sale early. Polygram / Universal took action against the chain which released the album early witholding new releases for a time. It was a pleasant surprise to find the album in my hands a few days early.

SOUNDBITES:



'I thought 'pop' was a term of abuse, it seemed sort of insulting and lightweight. I didn't realise how cool it was. Because some of the best music does have a lightweight quality, it has a kind of oxygen in it, which is not to say it's emotionally shallow. We've had to get the brightly coloured wrapping paper right, because what's underneath is not so sweet.' -Bono



'It's very difficult to pin this record down. It's not got any identity because it's got so many.' -Edge in Propaganda 25



'Each song is its own little world, that's what this record is going to be like I think. If God will Send His Angels is like a Temptations song - something like that would not normally find itself on the same record as a hardcore rocking song like Last Night On Earth. Then Velvet Dress is like a lounge classic while Holy Joe - b-side of Discotheque - is a garage tune. Do you Feel Loved is like a dance song and Gone is a guitar song, a rock guitar song.' -Bono in Propaganda 25



'The themes are love, desire and faith in crisis - the usual stuff.' -Edge





Enjoy ;)
