U2 - Mofo

[starfox203]

Does anyone have the Underworld remix of U2's Mofo? I just heard about it and would LOVE to hear it...

[Mike]

Its in yannicks pants ;) hehe

Seriously though, there isn't one... Its a myth... From what we know, Underworld once collaborated with U2 back in 1996/1997, but the project they were working on wasn't really cohesive and it was never finished.

So its been put on the same shelf as the track "Laughing Tortoise".

I thought there was one, which may be released one fine day.. :)

i have it on acetate... signed by Boingo and The Hedge

[Mike]

Bono, cock

Bono, cock

thats how he signed it

[holden]

Was it really "Mofo" that they were working on? i thought that's just because the track was playing in the background of the great interview where Bono and UW talk about the boys jamming and Bono riding around on a truck singing.
Maybe since "Mofo" is so "electronic", it's an easy conclusion to draw that UW would remix such a track?
Nonetheless, the project was shelved because they culdn't get beyond the point of the collaboration sounding more like UW remixes U2 or vice versa, rather than a unique hybrid. Or so they say!

according to UW in the last broadcast, U2 is holding it up. It was MOFO. I'm fairly certain Karl has confirmed this before too. the mix was done, it's never been released. no one save u2 and uW have it. search previous posts throughout the years here for more information.

I have an interview somewhere on my computer (it's an mp3) where it has karl and bono talking about the song -

it did happen, something was recorded, but rick thought it sounded too much like an 'underworld remix of a u2 song' and not a collaboration between the two... but bono said that he heard the 'finished' version, and that it sounded quite good

if i remember correctly - the song "mofo" did indeed stem from these sessions, but to what extent - who knows... but there's definitely no remnants of uw's input in that final album version

Karl confirms its existence on uwlive tonight. :eek:

I really want to hear it, now. How about on the next lemonworld broadcast, R&K? :)

[Flywaver]

Didn't the remix eventually become Moaner anyway?

right snuggles up to the left as they lie down in dappled shade. Thanks for the feedback on
Telematic Peal - the U-world-under-2 new version of 'Mofo' exists. Listening to Belfegore -
"Comic With Rats Now" (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=203310355) - looking for "All That I Wanted" (the video)

sorted.

what's the betting we've already heard most of the elements of this remix in other tracks?

still it would be nice to hear the unreleased version....

[crank]

i won't touch that bet. i bet there's some publishing legal jargon preventing anything of the sort

Just like the Sunshine soundtrack;)

yea - almost definitely

I mean... there's a few improv's etc from that pre-BF tour that never reappeared (and at least one of those could have at least parts of the unreleased track)

aaand - I would be surprised if elements of the Mofo track didn't sneak their way into stuff on BF

[Flywaver]

Lets see Underworld remix The Verve's - Love is Noise! :)

[crank]

Okay Underworld types, any chance of the "actual" story of how this came about?

Karl and Bono are secret lovers... Emerson is their lovechild and its a tribute to him...

possibly...

[crank]

mmm... now THAT is interesting. Are you sure its not PRICE that's their lovechild?
