[PAR] [TLE] The Unforgettable Fire [SEP] The Unforgettable Fire is the fourth studio album by Irish rock band U2.  It was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, and released on 1 October 1984 by Island Records.  The band wanted to pursue a new musical direction following the harder-hitting rock of their 1983 album, "War".  As a result, they employed Eno and Lanois to produce and assist in their experimentation with a more ambient and abstract sound.  The resulting change in direction was at the time the band's most dramatic.  The album's title is a reference to "The Unforgettable Fire"—an art exhibit about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.  The band saw the exhibit in November 1983 in Japan while on the "War" Tour. [PAR] [TLE] Island Records [SEP] Island Records is a Jamaican-British record label that operates as a division of Universal Music Group (UMG).  It was founded by Chris Blackwell, Graeme Goodall and Leslie Kong in Jamaica in 1959.  Blackwell sold the label to PolyGram in 1989.  Both Island and another label recently acquired by PolyGram, A&M Records, were both at the time the largest independent record labels in history, with Island in particular having exerted a major influence on the progressive UK music scene in the early 1970s.
