a quiet place to think about music

[about producing Achtung Baby for U2] Buzzwords on this record were trashy, throwaway, dark, sexy, and industrial (all good) and earnest, polite, sweet, righteous, rockist and linear (all bad).

It was good if a song took you on a journey or made you think your hi-fi was broken, bad if it reminded you of recording studios or U2.
