Wie U2 is half of Simple Minds

Pabio December 18, 2024

Erfurt. Die Simple Minds was released in 1984, just before the big Ding zu werden. Your album “Sparkle in the Rain” has been released and will be released again.

Die Band repeat not darüber. Aber man habe sich so gefühlt, als ob es die letzte Platte sein würde, gibt Sänger Jim Kerr in the booklet Refurbishment von “Sparkles in the rain” zu Protocol. The problem with this pessimism in the end is the pressure, hence Simple minds last.

Very interesting

Die Band aus dem schottischen Glasgow is 1984 the longest of a newcomer plus and on the other hand his album sechstes ein Prüfstein. The Vorgänger “New Golden Dream (81-82-83-84)” war musicalisch exaltierter and poppiger, also zugänglicher. Das Ergebnis: before chart order, more information, the band’s playing in bigger venues.

Weltweitee Erfolg erst mit “Don’t forget me”

Diesen Erfolg golden n’est zu halten, wenn nicht zu toppen. The Plattenfirma and new fans made a “New Gold Dream” twice. Doch daran hat die Band kein Interesse. According to this fact, even more things with your music for erreichen. Also wenn der weltweite Erfolg erst mit dem Soundtrack-Hit “Don’t forget me” and the album übernächsten “Once upon a time” gelingen sollte. For “Sparkle in the Rain”, but the time of listening is not instinctive: the musicians are through the standard concert and the instruments so that they are aware of a tournament with The Police by the United States.

Die Songs wollen anfangs auch nicht gelingen, Frontmann Jim Kerr hat das Gefühl sich mit seinen Schreibversuchen zu wiederholen. The group offers studio concerts during Jam-Sessions, for a single take of music to be done.

Hilfreich is a hinge between the installation and another aufstrebenden group: U2. Mit den Iren fühlt man sich verbunden, through the gemeinsamen keltischen Wurzeln, musicalische Vorlieben and the politische Engagement. Beide Bands has been performing in the 80s of the men’s organization Amnesty International, since 1985, during the Live-Aid concert.

Simple Minds has hits like “Waterfront” or “Up on the Catwalk”

With U2 producer Steve Lillywhite, Simple Minds ended up in the studio and produced late hits like “Waterfront” Or “On the podium”. You found an album with just one track: the band created a punk and new-wave band with explosive sounds, for everyone in time, for the announced stadium. You have a synthesizer and other contemporary language elements. It’s for purists from fish to Fleisch: for rock fans looking for, for New-Wave channels for old Muckertum. Doch mit der Zuwendung zum Pop werden die Simple Minds zu a erfolgreichen Act der 80er.

40 years “Sparkle in the Rain” is presented by Jim Kerr and Co. with a new platter, which is also a box set with four CDs, which contains only a remastered album on one disc with B pages, a unique mix and extended versions. Beinhaltet wie auf Drums zentrierte version von „Waterfront“. Auf der ditten und vierten Scheibe gave a theater concert in Glasgow in January 1984, therefore a mini-writing for the BBC.

The Dolby-Atmos-Mix is available on the streaming portal, although the videos are not available in this jubilee, the most stable is and with plenty of background information in the liner notes.
