Story & Background
U2, in the genesis of *No Line on The Horizon*, initially conceived the work as the first of two parallel records, the result of an ambitious foray into unexplored sonic territories. The initial sessions, held in exotic Fez, Morocco, saw the band collaborate closely with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, aiming for a more abstract and even Krautrock-inspired sound. The idea was that a second record, provisionally titled *Songs of Ascent*, would further explore meditative and ambient atmospheres, almost a spiritual soundtrack. Although *Songs of Ascent* never saw the light of day as an independent and complete project, many of the musical experiments and insights gained in Morocco were distilled and re-elaborated, permeating the textures and nuances of *No Line on The Horizon*, transforming it into an album with a complex and layered genesis, far beyond the expectations of a simple follow-up. This search for new inspiration and the willingness to challenge their own conventions deeply shaped its peculiar final sound.
