Trance has a LOT of different sub-genres... The ones I posted were some of the 'Quieter' songs in Trance... There are plenty of bands in Trance that sound like they are just making a noise, with no music. :P

Lanois Promises 'Innovative' Songs on New U2 Album

Posted Jan 2nd 2008 12:00PM by Steve Baltin

Filed under: News, Album, Exclusive

 

Twenty years ago, producer Daniel Lanois teamed with U2 on the band's landmark album, 'The Joshua Tree.' Two decades later, Lanois is back in the studio with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, working on their forthcoming album, due this year.

 

"I'm doing some writing with [brian] Eno and U2," Lanois tells Spinner of the effort when he sat down for a forthcoming Spinner interview. "We're gonna knock out another record that's promising to be a fantastically innovative collection of songs. I'm excited about that."

 

As for what the new songs will offer, Lanois says that some hints may be gleaned from the music they've been listening to of late. "We've been referencing Jimi Hendrix records recently," Lanois says. "I was interested in the drum feels and that track 'Crosstown Traffic' has an incredible drum performance. When [we were] working a couple of weeks back, we wanted to hear some of that Mitch Mitchell drumming."

Lanois also revels in his collaboration with Eno, also a former U2 collaborator and who appears in Lanois' film, 'Here Is What Is.' "I play really well with Eno," Lanois says. "In a manner of minutes we've got something happening in the room that's special -- even without talking about it. We just pick up our instruments and we're there. I might have an idea, Eno might have an idea, somebody else has an idea, and as we jockey them around, momentum builds up and there's some kind of a whirlwind. We just thank our lucky stars that we have that chemistry within us."

Lanois’ U2 Warm-up

February 6, 2008

 

From the hob

 

 

“I’M doing some writing with (Brian) Eno and U2,” mega-producer Daniel Lanois tells Spinner magazine when asked about his work with Bono and the boys on their new CD. “We’re gonna knock out another record that’s promising to be a fantastically innovative collection of songs. I’m excited about that.”

 

Lanois is much more than a U2 insider. His fingerprints have been all over the production knobs of some of the greatest CDs by the likes of Peter Gabriel, the Neville Brothers, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.

 

He creates that trademark spooky, atmospheric vibe on the discs he touches. It’s that same aura that made U2’s The Joshua Tree unlike anything you ever heard.

 

Lanois has also made a number of albums on his own, and they’re just as satisfying as some of the ones he shepherded for his famous friends. He just started a record company, Red Floor Records, and has chosen to release his newest disc on the label.

 

A soundtrack to a homemade documentary film of the same name, Here Is What Is sports a haunting collection of rough hewn tunes.

 

“Joy” is a spooky gospel tune set atop a churchy organ and watery pedal steel guitar riff. It’s a little bit country, a little bit Sunday morning. “On my way home I looked up at the sky/and the stars held up the night/destiny set me free,” he sings, a trio of pleading voices behind him in chorus.

 

“Luna Samba” has a wicked backbeat that bounces the guitar riffs to new heights.

 

Lanois also revels in his collaboration with Eno, also a former U2 collaborator who appears in Lanois’ film, Here Is What Is.

 

“I play really well with Eno,” Lanois says. “In a manner of minutes we’ve got something happening in the room that’s special — even without talking about it. We just pick up our instruments and we’re there. We just thank our lucky stars that we have that chemistry within us.”

 

There is a snippet of dialogue from the film spoken by Eno. “I hope this film shows how beautiful things grow out of s***,” he says. “Everyone thinks Beethoven has those tunes in his head and they think that they just tumbled out. Things come out of nothing. The most beautiful seed can sometimes grow into a promising forest.”

 

This disc is a fascinating look into a very different kind of life. Log onto www.daniellanois.com for more information.

 

 

 

I reckon they could do it. Bring dance music back to how it was!

 

Do we not know his face ( whatever about the rest of him )....... <_<

Lanois says new album starts next week

By JASON MACNEIL, SPECIAL TO SUN MEDIA

 

 

 

 

U2 BACK IN THE STUDIO

 

Although releasing the documentary film Here Is What Is on DVD next month, as well as a CD of the same name, musician and acclaimed producer Daniel Lanois is probably packing his bags now. On Monday, he's off to Dublin to begin recording with U2 on their next studio album, the follow-up to 2004's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

 

"I'm going to work with them in a week," Lanois says from Los Angeles.

 

"We've had a few very successful jam sessions so far, including one in Morocco. I'm very excited about what we're doing. Everyone has an appetite for breaking new ground and everybody wants to make a masterpiece.

 

"We're not taking anything for granted. We don't think it's going to be easy. In fact, it's always hard work and I like it that way. When the work is hard, you know you're busting through something that hasn't been done before."

 

As for the direction U2's album is headed, Lanois is brief in describing the record, which should be out this fall.

 

 

 

"I can tell you a little bit about the fundamental quality," he says. "It's very much hand-played but it's also electro."
