When we recently mentioned U2 in one of our posts, we were inundated with some really interesting emails. Many of them were reactions to the music, with a an overwhelming majority of people really liking the No Line on The Horizon cd.
However, a couple of regular readers who have been following the story of U2 in Fez from the first day we broke the news (Why is Bono in Fez?) that the band had rented a riad in the Medina, commented that maybe Fez will get some great publicity and many more visitors wanting to visit the place referred to in the track, Fez - Being Born.
U2 above the "small middle-east town of Fez!"
"For "FEZ-Being Born," lyrics from "Get On Your Boots" are layered under the synthesized beginnings ("Let me in the sound / Let me in the sound sound…"). Fez is a small town in Morocco where some of this album was recorded. You may recognize flavors of the region in this music."
"Fez - Being Born, is dedicated to the country where the famous Fez hats come from."
"Fez - Being Born, is inspired by the music of this middle-east country."
More readers contributions welcome.

Not being a U2 fan, I was hoping for some more overt Moroccan or oriental influences in this new album. Having listened through it, I still remain deeply unimpressed by this over-hyped band.
Someone had posted a link to a U2 in Fes, video clip on the FezForum and the music on that was excellent. But as a a previous poster said the music they release is the usual over-hyped tat.
