[PAR] [TLE] Zooropa [SEP] Zooropa is the eighth studio album by Irish rock band U2.  Produced by Flood, Brian Eno, and The Edge, it was released on 5 July 1993 on Island Records.  Inspired by the band's experiences on the Zoo TV Tour, "Zooropa" expanded on many of the tour's themes of technology and media oversaturation.  The record was a continuation of the group's experimentation with alternative rock, electronic dance music, and electronic sound effects that began with their previous album, "Achtung Baby", in 1991. [PAR] [TLE] Zoo TV Tour [SEP] The Zoo TV Tour (also written as ZooTV, ZOO TV or ZOOTV) was a worldwide concert tour by rock band U2.  Staged in support of their 1991 album "Achtung Baby", the tour visited arenas and stadiums from 1992 to 1993.  To mirror the new musical direction that the group took with "Achtung Baby", the tour was intended to deviate from their past and confound expectations of the band.  In contrast to U2's austere stage setups from previous tours, the Zoo TV Tour was an elaborately staged multimedia event.  It satirised television and media oversaturation by attempting to instill "sensory overload" in its audience.  To escape their reputation for being earnest and overly serious, U2 embraced a more lighthearted and self-deprecating image on tour.  Zoo TV and "Achtung Baby" were central to the group's 1990s reinvention.
