Album Notes U2: Bono (vocals, guitar); The Edge (guitar, piano, synthesizer, background vocals); Adam Clayton (bass); Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums, percussion, background vocals). Additional personnel: Johnny Cash (vocals); Brian Eno (keyboards, synthesizer); Des Broadbery, Flood (programming). Engineers include: Robbie Adams, Daniel Lanois, Flood. Recorded at The Factory, Windmill Lane Studios and Westland Studios, Dublin, Ireland in spring 1993. ZOOROPA won the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. The bright, digital-looking album artwork alone hints at U2's intentions on ZOOROPA--to take the group's electronica-laced approach on ACHTUNG BABY to the next level. While ambient-music pioneer Brian Eno had a strong presence on the former album, here he's practically a fifth member, contributing synthesizers and keyboards to most of the disc's 10 tracks. Fans looking for vestiges of the old, JOSHUA TREE-era U2 are essentially left empty-handed, though the gorgeously spare and melancholy "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" does touch on their earnest earlier sound. ZOOROPA truly gets going with the fascinatingly droning "Numb," which features the Edge on lead vocals and stands as the most adventurous single that the Irish quartet has ever released. From here the album hits a stride, careening through the giddy Euro-disco of "Lemon," the aforementioned "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)," the heavily percussive "Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car," and the funky, chiming "Some Days Are Better Than Others." Wrapping up the quirkiest outing in U2's discography is an appropriately strange, yet inspired song--"The Wanderer," where Kraftwerk-like synths and dreamy backing vocals support the unmistakable voice of the legendary Johnny Cash. Although, ZOOROPA is often overlooked, it's an ambitious record that marks a crucial point in U2's evolution.

Reviews  out of this world u2 you cant go wrong with any of there cd's the mucic is just the best out there to day the DVD is a must have also it is the best Review ID: 10000000007328454 Was this review helpful? Report this review Not the Highlight of U2, but solid effortcoming off the heals of Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, it's hard to say Zooropa is even on the same level as those outstanding albums. but for a U2 fan this still offers some good tracks; the title track is mellow but good, Numb is not my favorite, but got some radio and video play when it came out. l like the way the album picks up at the half, with Stay and the catchy Daddy's going to pay for your Crashed Car. The First Time and Dirty Day round out some good tracks before the Johny Cash song the Wanderer. Review ID: 10000000006046557 Was this review helpful? Report this review BabyfaceI have a lot of respect for Brian Eno but I really don't like U2. There was a time when their music appealed to me but that was a very long time ago. That said, this album is fairly good and remains the only U2 album I have in my collection. Johnny Cash is an added bonus as he sings The Wanderer. 3 1/2 Stars.
