In early March 2007 the band entered the recording studio to work on the follow up to Carnival. The new material was recorded by producer Chris Kimsey who re-mixed BD3 for the single release and was the producer of New Model Army's collaboration with Tom Jones on the charity single "Gimme Shelter". One of the songs "Rivers" - previously "New song #1" on many a set list - has been extensively previewed live during the US and European dates before Christmas.
U2 arbeiten mal wieder mit Brian Eno und Daniel Lanois an neuen Songs.
Zitat von U2.com Songwriting in Morocco
U2.Com have been in Morocco with Brian Eno, Danny Lanois and U2. Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be bringing you the inside track on the Fez songwriting sessions. Sometimes, explains Larry, you just have to get away in order to write the songs.
... That U2 are songwriting in this ancient city, the place they first visited to shoot the Mysterious Ways video in 1991, has remained largely a secret to the local community. Eno and Lanois, working together with the band on an extended period for the first time since the ‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’ sessions in 2000, arrive unnoticed each morning about an hour before the band. They use the time to listen back to ideas they came up with the day before – and in sessions earlier this year. These two weeks are the third and fourth in which the six musicians have been songwriting.
‘It’s a pretty interesting place to have a recording studio, don’t you think?’ asks Bono.
And pretty creative, adds Larry. ‘We’ve been coming up with two or three ideas a day I guess,’ he explains. ‘It started in France when they came down to write with us a couple of months back and it will probably continue later in the year.
‘It’s the first time we’ve worked with Brian and Dan in a purely songwriting capacity so it’s very different, quite experimental and kind of liberating because of that…’
‘Let’s all come in on Larry this time, from the intro…’ comes the voice from under the parasol, calling everyone back to the music. The song gets underway with Eno throwing gentle instructions across the circle: ‘Verse, verse, chorus…’
One track they’ve been working up sounds like a soul song with distinctly Arabic rhythms. Another is an epic story-telling piece which seems to run for seven or eight minutes. This time, as the music stops, the birdsong is in competition with a local muezzin, calling the people of Fez to prayer.

Klingt auf jedenfall nicht so, als würden da Songs wie Window in the sky enstehen....
