Things began to gel when Eno was tapped to produce an album for U2. The Unforgettable Fire (1984) saw Eno and Lanois join together as co-producers. The results of that album impressed another star, Peter Gabriel. Asked to co-produce the soundtrack to Gabriel's film Birdy, Gabriel and Lanois went on to produce So and Us, Gabriel's most successful albums. Gabriel's million selling So launched Gabriel as an accessible commercial artist. Lanois continued to work with U2 co-producing The Joshua Tree with Eno and as principle producer for Achtung Baby, which earned him a Grammy.

Trying her hand at writing, she produced a pair of children's bestsellers - On Stage, Please, which remains a perennial favourite with tiny dancers and their parents, and Nutcracker, a charming exploration of the festive classic.
