Achtung Baby (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)专辑介绍
爱尔兰摇滚传奇U2乐队的经典专辑《Achtung Baby》将于下个月正式发行。乐队的主唱波诺(Bono)与吉他手埃德加(Edge)最近在接受采访时表示，U2计划于明年发行一张全新专辑。
U2乐队在完成了有史以来最成功的商业巡演之后便一直处于沉寂之中，而有媒体与乐迷甚至认为乐队已经进入到休眠期。乐队主唱波诺最近在接受滚石杂志采访时澄清了这些疑问：“我并不清楚未来是否已经完全结束。”他引用经典单曲《Rattle and Hum》中的一句经典歌词回应了质疑：“现在的乐队更像是‘你是否会就无关的事情闭上嘴。’”
与此同时，U2将于下个月1日发行经典专辑《Achtung Baby》的再版。这张实验专辑让乐队在经典作《The Joshua Tree》之后更进一步，创作出一张后朋克风格的舞台化流行乐。吉他手埃德加(The Edge)在谈到这张专辑时说：“我曾记得有一次自己走进一家俱乐部中，里面的DJ将专辑《War》中的一首歌曲改编成舞曲，这让我听起来感觉尴尬，我们从没想到这样的歌曲竟能以迪曲进入其中的。”
乐队的《Achtung Baby》20周年专辑纪念版将以多种格式发行，这其中包括一套“超级豪华套装”：里面将收录6张CD，4张DVD，五张黑胶单曲以及一本84页厚的纪念册。除了经典专辑的重新混音版本外，乐队还将B面单曲《Down All the Days》以及另一个版本的《Numb》作为加歌随专辑附送。
U2乐队所发行的上一张专辑还要追溯到2009年的《No Line on the Horizon》，而乐队透露新专辑有望在明年发行。埃德加表示：“你们很有可能在明年听到我，不过新专辑不发行的可能同样占了另一半。”波诺则强调了埃德加的观点：“我们已经创作出很多新歌，其中一些是我认为所听过最棒的歌曲，我将会把一些次要的事情放在一边，而暂时的迷失在音乐中。”
In 1992, Bono described Achtung Baby as 'the sound of four men chopping down The Joshua Tree' while Jon Pareles of the New York Times wrote that 'stripped-down and defying its old formulas, U2 has given itself a fighting chance for the 1990's'. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance and became one of the most significant records of the nineties and of U2’s career. In 2011, twenty years on, a special anniversary edition of Achtung Baby was released, along with the documentary From The Sky Down directed by Davis Guggenheim. Recorded over six months at Hansa Studio in Berlin and Windmill Lane in Dublin, Achtung Baby was U2’s seventh studio album. Produced by long time U2 collaborators, Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno with Steve Lillywhite, Achtung Baby featured five big singles in The Fly, Mysterious Ways, One, Even Better Than The Real Thing and Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. For the twentieth anniversary re-release the archives unearthed a raft of unreleased material; video, remixes, b-sides and documentary footage along with a full album of demo and early versions of the final 1991 tracklisting. Five physical editions including vinyl, CD, DVD and digital options were made available. Ahead of the release, the band returned to Hansa Studio in Berlin to discuss the making of Achtung Baby with Academy Award winning director Davis Guggenheim. His film, From The Sky Down, was selected to open the Toronto International Film Festival and was released on DVD to co-incide with the anniversary edition of the album. Q Magazine in the UK released 'AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered', an entire CD of acts reimagining Achtung Baby including Nine Inch Nails covering Zoo Station, Damien Rice performing One, Patti Smith taking on Until The End Of The World and The Killers making over Ultraviolet (Light My Way).
