    Simple Minds - New Gold Dream

    Before they were crap, they were really really good. In the early 1980's Simple Minds were one of the most exciting bands around. They were experimental, but not in a nerdy way, and they certainly had an ear for a good tune. 1982' New Gold Dream was the album that contained their first real hit, Promised You A Miracle, as well as Glittering Prize and Someone Somewhere in Summertime. They would later become one of the worlds biggest stadium rock acts, unfairly being labelled "U3", and they decided to go really naff around 1991. But when I tell you that New Gold Dream is a fantastic album, I speak the truth. Tune in to Phantom FM this Thursday for live versions and studio versions of the album's tracks, as well alternative versions and b-sides associated with the release. You'll thank me for it.

    Regards

    Rob

    Before Jim Kerr got his leather trousers, and McGinnity's goat became contrary, in other words.
