A change of direction for the boys from Dublin on this, their first Brian Eno produced album, adding layers of experimentation and maturing their sound. Not that the soul of U2 isn't intact, providing them with their biggest hit to date, 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)'. A remarkable album that redefined U2 and won them ever more respect as an innovative and formidable talent, here in pristine vinyl.
Considered their most timeless work by fans and band alike, The Unforgettable Fire takes a sidestep away from the stadium filling anthems of War and sees the band adopting a more considered outlook. The influence of producer Brian Eno (formerly of Roxy Music and a master studio innovator) salves the U2 sound in lush orchestrations and a looser, dreamier tone.
