cringe moments from Bono's 'radical' comment but Lanois's interests me. This sounds so like another Pop. Hand played electro? I want it

Maybe the "project" they're talking about is the new Pop re-release.

Sounds to me like nothing. Hand played and electro. That's the 'style' on every album.

Well, put it this way: we're getting four more albums of that 'style', as U2 renewed their contract with Universal late last year - so it's more of the same?

But were Eno nor Lanois involved with HTDAAB - maybe it will be popular if those two are involved.

Let's break down what Electro refers to...

Electro, short for electro funk (also known as robot hip hop and Electro hop) is an electronic style of hip hop directly influenced by Kraftwerk and funk records (unlike earlier rap records which were closer to disco). Records in the genre typically have electronic sounds and some vocals are delivered in a deadpan, mechanical manner often through a vocoder or other electronic distortion.

So think bands like Kraftwerk, Hawkwind...and it also refers to breakdancing.

Don't tell me U2 are gonna breakdance in their new videos and at their shows.

I don't think they come up with some electrical stuff. It probably is great rock with some nice mixing..
