Answer
Daniel Lanois
Answer
Daniel Lanois
Daniel Lanois co-produced U2's 1984 album The Unforgettable Fire with Brian Eno. Their collaboration helped move the band beyond the direct rock sound of its earlier records.
Lanois and Eno encouraged U2 to experiment with atmosphere, texture, and studio arrangement. Recording took place mainly at Slane Castle in County Meath and at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. The castle environment contributed to the album's expansive, reverberant character.
The album included “Pride (In the Name of Love),” “Bad,” and its title track. Steve Lillywhite had produced U2's first three albums, so listeners sometimes associate him with this period, but The Unforgettable Fire introduced the major Eno–Lanois production partnership that continued on later U2 projects.
