RBMA brings us this video tour inside the famous Hansa Ton Studio in Berlin where David Bowie, Einstürzende Neubauten, Iggy Pop, and U2 recorded. The center of “German audio culture.”

“The Red Bull Music Academy paid tribute to this legendary space with a three-days-long series of concerts. lectures, workshops and parties, featuring rising acoustic techno explorers Brandt Brauer Frick, Gareth Jones, a key producer from Hansa’s glorious past, and chart-topping German rapper Casper, amongst many others.”

Following my rant on the delay of this remaster issue, u2.com today announces the 20th anniversary edition of “Achtung Baby.” “Twenty Years of ‘Achtung Baby’” will be available in five editions running from the super-limited edition Uber Deluxe that includes 6 CDs (including what looks to be a remaster of “Zooropa,” the follow-up to “Achtung Baby” and a load of b-sides and re-edits), 4 DVDs, 5 7inch records of all the “Achtung Baby” singles, 16 art prints, two books, a pair of “The Fly” sunglasses, and much more.

The other four editions, including the Super Deluxe Edition, are more toned downed to the CDs and DVDs only with the exception of the “Vinyl Box Set” which is sure sell out instantly. The 2 CD Deluxe Edition should be more than fine for most fans.

At the moment you can pre-order from Amazon in the UK and USA only.

Hodinkee gives the dl on a limited edition Bremont hitting shops soon. “The watch was made for the pilots of the U2 spy plane and tested to an absurd 100,000ft.  This watch was to be given to the actual U2 squadron, but now we have the official pictures of the watches available to you and I, the general public.  There are three separate models in the consumer U2 line, and we like, we like a lot… Only 150 of thiese watches will be sold to the public.”
