U2 - Bass Trap

Bass Trap - and this is not the edited version as you can find on the 1980-1990 B-Sides - has been released on the "The Unforgettable Fire" single in 1985.

I always wanted to listen to the full version of this song so I searched and searched and searched for ages... Was really hard to find. o.O Seems like I really have a predilection for songs of the Unforgettable Fire Era (yeah, I adore this record so much!).

Everytime I listen to this song makes me think of lying in a flower meadow on a warm day in spring. I dunno why, but that must me the reason why I love this song so much and I decided to decorate it with pictures taken with my beloved but now broken Photosmart R707 :'( miss it.

Anyways, enjoy ^^

on "The Unforgettable Fire" single. It was so hard to find... I was searching for ages for that but I hope they'll re-release it someday on a B-Side CD, like they are doing now with Boy, War and October.

A short version of Bass Trap was also on the Unforgettable Fire Mini EP (LP) along with The Three Sunrises and Love Comes Tumbling.

This is an absolute masterpeice. People go for Yoga and stuff to meditate. Is there anything better than this...NO!!! U2 saves lives :). One true band that is now a part of my life

(by the way - how are you RotaryFatBoy-gave u thumbs up)

Brilliant Peice of music. Actully makes me think of "Unknown Caller" from the new album, you know, both songs remind of of a sunny day, in the park, chilling with a few cold lagers etc...

I have liked this song very much since i heard it, it has Dan Lanois writen all over it.

This one probably fits more comfortably into Eno's mid-80s catalogue than it does into U2's body of work. Lovely ambient drift redolent of Eno's collaborations with Harold Budd, Michael Brook, Bob Fripp and Jon Hassell.

U2 and Brian Eno was one of the best collaborations in music. I even thought Passengers was great!

Yes this version is on the 25th Anniversary Special edition CD

This song and Love Comes Tumbling should have been on the full Unforgettable Fire LP.

When I think of this song or listen to it I always picture huge lifetime stress relief while drowning and looking up at the sunny sky underwater just . floating...love this song

[baskieb1]

U2 is a very good popular band, wich doesn't mean they are not good musicians. this song certainly proves their quality

[kipperfeast]
