U2 have announced plans to release previously unheard material in a special deluxe edition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ‘The Unforgettable Fire’.

The band have said they want to include songs that they recorded while making the album, but that didn’t make it onto the record.

The Edge told BBC Radio One: “I listened to some tracks that we’re gonna release with the new ‘Unforgettable Fire’ reissue, some new songs that we discovered that we’d recorded, back in that era – the ’80s – that we’re gonna put out. And they sound amazing.”

Bono spoke about one of these tracks ‘Disappearing Act’: “It’s 25 years ago, the drums, the bass and the guitar. And now, the voices. It is a strange, weird thing. And it’s going out with ‘The Unforgettable Fire’ reissue, but no one’s heard it.”

The re-mastered version of ‘The Unforgettable Fire’ is out later this year.

Wooden Shjips: Club Uncut, London Borderline, August 19, 2009

Thanks to everyone who made it down to the Wooden Shjips show last night, not least of course the band themselves. A very hot and ecstatic night at Club Uncut, and it was pretty clear that this is a band who are really - and deservedly - loved by their fans. I’ve written a fair bit about the band here, especially in this review of their “Dos” album. Over the course of an hour and a quarter or so tonight, all the same reference points come to the surface: Spacemen 3, Loop, the Velvets, Dinger-driven Neu!, Ray Manzarek, Suicide, evil Stereolab, Family Dog happenings and so on. It’s worth noting, though, that one of the pleasures of Wooden Shjips is how unself-consciously they channel their influences. Although it’s hard to make out exactly what he’s saying because of all the reverb, singer/guitarist Ripley does seem to introduce one song as a Spacemen 3 cover, the sort of direct referencing that most derivative bands would shy away from. I have to say it was hard to work out which Spacemen 3 song, exactly (if anyone spotted it, please let me know), not least because: a) so many of their own songs could, happily, have been Spacemen covers; and b) Ripley ploughs off on a giant solo, the like of which is a whole world away from anything ever played by arch-minimalists like Sonic Boom and Jason Pierce. Ripley does this a lot, so much so that it’s hard to think of a dronerock band who jam so joyously and uninhibitedly as Wooden Shjips, and who can maintain the requisite motorik hum while simultaneously freaking out. By the encores, they’ve wheeled out their delirious, Velvetsy cover of Neil Young’s “Vampire Blues”, which indicates another place where Ripley draws some of his inspiration from. This is one way in which Wooden Shjips effortlessly supersede pretty much any other dronerock band extant. Another is their incredibly hardworking rhythm section, whose locked grooves have an agility and, after a fashion, funkiness. They’re at their strongest – as the band is in general – when they accelerate, keeping it tight while Ripley and Nash Whalen on tinfoil-covered organ extemporise wildly over the top. “We Ask You To Ride”, on record one of the band’s cleanest and most accessible tracks, is typical of how this terrific show goes, transformed into something more frenzied and snarling, a psychedelic freak-out to rank alongside the likes of “Motorbike”. Even a malfunctioning bass amp can’t stop them for long.

Elbow have confirmed that they are working on new songs for the follow-up to their Mercury Music Prize winning ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’.

The band plan to record the new material after their gig at the MEN Arena in Manchester on September 18.

Singer Guy Garvey told BBC 6 Music: “We’ve got 30 or 40 odds and ends musically.

“I’ve got a couple of books worth of scribbles, so we’re just going to keep doing that for maybe six months.”

Elbow will record the new album in their studio, ‘Blueprint’, in Salford.

Garvey explained: “I’m looking forward to being back in the bunker again, it’s a great space on every level and it’s got a real community buzz about it.”
