Flasback '90s: Zooropa

I'm not a U2 fan, I only own Zooropa because of its laid back concept & sample dabbling. There's a limited rock band enticement here compared to other releases like The Joshua Tree/ Rattle & Hum, that's why it appealed to me.

I remember having the cassette tape version in my Walkman & set it to infinite auto reverse mode while cycling from one end of East Coast Parkway to the other, waiting for the sun to set. That was some of the loneliest moments in my life.

The first (Part 4)

The first person whom I saw play a Gibson Explorer was U2's the Edge. He's another one of those minimalists to have made an impact on me but his playing was (still is) effects laden, in fact, the delay effect & this chap are quite synonymous.

The thing I like about him is that he fits in the guitar parts into the songs regardless of the song's nature. This is also the reason why I like Zooropa the best- the most electronica U2 release & probably the most disliked if you are a traditional U2 fan. I remember having Zooropa in my Walkman years ago (in perpetual repeat mode) & cycling along East Coast Parkway at sunset... those were the days.
