U2 – Achtung Baby [Full Album]
Tracklist; 1. Zoo Station 2. Even Better Than the Real Thing 3. One 4. Until the End of the World 5. Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses 6. So Cruel 7. The Fly 8. Mysterious Ways 9. Tryin’ to Throw Your Arms Around the World 10. Ultraviolet (Light My Way) 11. Acrobat 12. Love Is Blindness “Achtung Baby” is the seventh studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 19 November 1991 on Island Records. Stung by the criticism of their 1988 release Rattle and Hum, U2 shifted their musical direction to incorporate alternative rock, industrial, and electronic dance music influences into their sound. Thematically, the album is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. Achtung Baby and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group’s 1990s reinvention, which replaced their earnest public image with a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one. Seeking inspiration on the eve of German reunification, U2 began recording Achtung Baby at Berlin’s Hansa Studios in October 1990. The sessions were fraught with conflict, as the band argued over their musical direction and the quality of their material. After tensions and slow progress nearly prompted the group to break up, they made a breakthrough with the improvised writing of the song “One”. Morale improved during the subsequent recording sessions in Dublin in 1991. To confound the public’s expectations of the band and …
Classic Albums: Nirvana — Nevermind There possibly isnt an album in history that is as genre defining as Nirvana’s Nevermind. Released in 1991, it single-handedly was responsible for the birth of what became to be known as grunge and has gone on to sell millions. Nevermind was the second album from the Seattle trio and the first on the DGC label (its predecessor Bleach was released on the Sub Pop label). It was produced by Butch Vig (also the drummer for the band Garbage)and mixed by Andy Wallace. Nirvanas surviving members Krist Novoselic (bass) and Dave Grohl (drums) talk candidly about their past, the recording of Nevermind and about Kurt Cobain and the legacy that he has left behind. Also featured are exclusive interviews with the likes of Garry Gersh(A&R DGC Records), Butch Vig, Jonathan Ponneman and Nils Bernstein(Sub Pop Records), Thurston Moore(Sonic Youth), Jack Endino and many more.

I love how all their albums cohere and just come together beautifully. There is no element of “random” or moments where you think “this song doesn’t belong.” So awesome. And I can’t believe how ahead-of-their-time this band has always been.

One of the very few albums where there’s not one single bad song on. You can count the amount of these albums on one hand in music history. Conclusion: ABSOLUTE MILESTONE AND WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME!!!

@Netriderceo Everman left in 1989, Nevermind was in 1991.

@VoVikMakaR Back in 1991, a lot of girls loved them. A lot of 30-40 year old women still love them.

An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled “SUDDEN PORTHOLE”, which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it’s under the George Noory video).
I’m not selling anything…I’m just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.
My BLOG @ samzurick*dot*com contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the “debunkers”. THANKS!!
February 20th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
They weren’t a Seattle Trio, they were an Aberdeen duo + Dave.
February 20th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Damn Kurt, why were you always so mad…I mean, what did they microphone ever done to you?!!
February 20th, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Excellent upload, thank you. I in the 11th grade when Nevermind dropped. Kid was listening to them on his headphones. I asked what he was listening to & he said, Nirvana. Asked him, “do they sound good?” He replied, “They’re weird” & let me listen for a second & I liked it. Wasn’t until my SR year until I heard my first real song & that was, “Something In The Way” while tripping on mushrooms in the back of my friends parents ford station wagon some country road blasting that song. Ah the 90′s.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
08:52 ~ 9:13 name of song please?
February 20th, 2012 at 8:59 pm

if disfunctional means parents divorced and am depressed, then call me disfunctional and Cobain speaks my language!

This album got me into music when I was 5 years old. My older brother bought it for me. Needless to say, it changed my young life, and I have been in love with music since then.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
@hegadem I agree with you on most of your statements. Some stuff like Bohiam Rhapsody and other things like Pink Floyds the Wall used 2 24 track tape machines synced together…… on the other hand if the Beatles can do A Day in the Life with 4 tracks then…… hell, maybe your right.
More track dont allways equal more noise … especially if the tape machine is calibrated right and your maximizing your levels to tape. I love smaking the crap out of Ampex 456 tape to the point of distortion
February 20th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
@marcusdolby1: I would also say, with multi-tracking the fewer tracks the better.
Nobody really needs 24 or 32 tracks for rock or metal. 8 tracks is enough for a
live in the studio gig where you don’t want to smear the recording with loads
of overdubs.
With analog more tracks equals more noise and more distortion, due to the
lower tape width for each track. Nirvana’s first album “Bleach” is an 8-track recording
and sounds great to me.
February 20th, 2012 at 11:21 pm
@hegadem Mixing from Craptools to analog has been an option, It did sound a bit better but what really makes the craptools recordings sound better to me, was mixing off our Neve VR series console and using outboard analog gear. A good Analog console with a great summing buss makes a BIG difference.. even if its tracked to protools. I just use protools as a tape recorder and as an editing machine. I like the idea of direct to 2 track. One take getting right, the less overdubbing the better.
