Description

After the contentious early sessions in Berlin, everything finally crystalizes and U2 deliver its crowning creative achievement, the unprecedented deconstruction of everything that got them to the top of the charts in the 80s: "Achtung Baby." In Pt 2 of 3 comprehensive parts on the Achtung Baby and Zoo TV period, we go song by song of the 12 songs on the record and examine the Kindergarten disc from the Uber Deluxe Release, a fascinating rough mix done late in the recording process revealing some transformative production touches and lyrics that were still to come.

Into the Into the Heart of U2 Podcast is the most comprehensive dive into the history of U2 as told by folks who were there while it happened. Co-hosts, author and musician Bill See, and Melody Muraca, the founder of one of the first U2 Fanzines in the U.S., go through U2's career album by album and tour by tour, and the perception of U2 in cultural consciousness. They still care about the band, but they're concerned about their legacy. So, they're going to try and get to the bottom of whether U2 is one of the greats of all time or are the haters right after all.
