Hmm, re: the mooted U2-Underworld collaboration from way back (pre-Beaucoup, so around 1997 or 1998?)... it might be cool to hear what that was like, since in the mid-late 90's, U2 was one of the biggest rock acts incorporating electronic/dance sounds (Zooropa and Pop LP's), and Underworld comes from a rock sensibility, a la freur, UW mk i, Karl's session work. But now, i don't think i want to hear anything with u2. They're not cutting edge (no pun intended ) anymore and Bono has become too preachy to stand (remember the famed Bono=c*ck thread? Or are we sworn to silence on that?
) The electro-rock torch was passed to Radiohead, anyway, and even they passed in on for the most partafter Amnesiac.
Now, i wouldn't mind hearing Michael Stipe's voice along with Karl's. Stream-o-consciousness times two. What won't Stipee contribute to, anyway? He's on sooo many records!
A female vocal would be great, too...there was a lot of Juanita on AHDO, but all spoken. A really incredible voice (suggestions? Not Bjork, please!) might integrate really well with the ambient side of UW.
