The Sonic Signature of U2 - Christopher Endrinal - Bog

What musical elements define the unmistakable, yet constantly evolving, 'U2 sound'? This book addresses this question in a three-tiered music -theoretical dissection of the band's unique sound. Endrinal's analyses reach beyond the traditional focus on melody, harmony and rhythm, drawing on new computer assisted analytical techniques to explore texture, timbre and instrumentation. More than a study of one band, then, this book offers new analytical methods for the study of popular music.
