U2The Unforgettable Fire [Deluxe Edition]
Mercury Records [1984; re:2009]
(2CD Set)
Fire Drill Review:
This special edition marks 25 years since the album's original release in October 1984. Recorded at Slane Castle, Ireland, The Unforgettable Fire was the first U2 album to be produced by Brian Eno and Danny Lanois, and spawned two top 10 UK singles - "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" and "The Unforgettable Fire". It was not their most commercially successful record but served as an important transitional album to the big league anthems they have now been delivering for years. At the time, working with Brian Eno was a huge risk considering he was known for his more experimental sounds with Bowie and the Talking Heads but the end result was simply the cohesion of two extreme talents that made The Unforgettable Fire one of their best. The second disc found here features B-sides, live tracks and other previously unreleased material that for fans is a great addition to an already great album!
