I’ve mentioned before that Planet Telex sounds straight off Achtung Baby to me.

It does, come to think of it. Even the title of the track is vaguely Achtung-era U2.

My favourite cover of a U2 track is "Fuck the Queen, Free Palestine, and oh yeah one last thing, Bono's a West Brit" by those lovable mop-top Provo lovers the Kneecappers.

I could picture Planet Telex as a transitional sound between when they did the Night & Day cover and the appearance of Achtung Baby.  Perhaps.
