"THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE"

U2's fourth studio album was released on October 1984 andreached number 1 in the album charts in several countries including the UK.  It reached number 12 in the USA.  The title came from an exhibition of Japanese paintings and drawings by survivors of the first atom bomb blasts on Horoshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.  The sound was less rocky and more laid back, with a more European ambient sound, though the American influences were still there.
