U2 - Acrobat

"It&an unusual time signature for us," said the Edge of Achtung Baby&penultimate track. "It&like a 6/8 almost, which is a very Irish time signature. It&used in a lot of traditional Irish music, but in rock & roll you don&really hear it that much." Though the Edge spent the run-up to the dance-centric Achtung Baby absorbing the industrial sounds of bands like KMFDM and Einstürzende Neubauten, this song&rhythm is actually driven by an atypically busy performance from Mullen, who&been listening to the classic rock of Cream and Jimi Hendrix. The result is a quintessential U2 mix of tradition and innovation. From Rolling Stone Magazine, June 29, 2017 "U2&50 Greatest Songs" By Christopher R.
