The Noir Trabants and artwork were also featured on the cover of the Achtung Baby album and four of the album’s singles The Fly, Mysterious Ways, Even Better Than the Real Thing and Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses.
U2 ACHTUNG BABY SERIES
On Wenders’ recommendation U2 went on to commission Noir to create a series of painted 601 Trabants to be used as light installations for their upcoming ZOO TV World Tour.
U2 ACHTUNG BABY FULL
The album is full of major-league guitar crunching and mysterious, spacy chords. The crashing, unrecognizable distorted guitars that open 'Zoo Station' are a clear signal that U2 have traded their Americana pretensions for postmodern, contemporary European music.
U2 chose Hansa Studios to record Achtung Baby because the storied location, where David Bowie and Iggy Pop recorded in the 70s, allowed the band to tap into the Berlin cultural zeitgeist of the era right as the Berlin Wall was falling. At U2s request, Achtung Baby was the first album by a major act to be released in two eco-friendly packages - the jewel box (without the long box attachment). Achtung Baby restores U2 to scale, and gives the band back its edge. Reinventions rarely come as thorough and effective as Achtung Baby, an album that completely changed U2's sound and style. The gift will be a limited edition CD set in a special presentation package featuring live tracks from Achtung Baby recorded over the last thirty years.
The Digi-Trak featured long-box sizes cardboard, which, once its shrink-wrap and two plastic struts are removed, folds around the CD. U2 and Thierry Noir originally connected through mutual friend and collaborator Wim Wenders while U2 were recording Achtung Baby at Hansa Studios in Berlin in 1990. On January 13, 2022, U2 announced their newest fan club subscription gift, Achtung Baby 30 Live. At U2's request, Achtung Baby was the first album by a major act to be released in two eco-friendly packages - the jewel box (without the long box attachment) and the cardboard Digi-Trak.
