It’s been almost four years since Simple Minds put out its last album of all-new material—Big Music, which won them a slew of awards and singlehandedly turned them from has-beens to respected elder statesmen of rock. Now the new one, Walk Between Worlds (seen here), comes out next month, but the first single, “Magic,” came out today. And…it’s pretty good! Kerr takes some very Pop turns with his vocal, straying significantly from his typical Jim Morrison-influenced style. Hopefully it’s a portent of things to come.

Found over the weekend—a vintage 1982 Canadian limited edition gold pressing of Simple Minds’ classic New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84). Looks much nicer than the better-known Gold/Purple US limited pressing from the same era.

Got that rare pre-Simple Minds 45 after all!

They should have mentioned the new Simple Minds album that came out yesterday, Direction of the Carp.

[Real to real cacophony] [Simple Minds] [1979] [LP] The second Production of the genius John Leckie together with the Simple Minds. “Real to real cacophony” is probably the most unwieldy album of the Scottish band. But at the same time it is full of excellent tracks. Besides the three hammer tracks "Factory", "Premonition" and "Calling your Name" you can find here many small mini works of art that you can confidently call short films. One short film more bizarre than the other. A round dance full of crazy, sarcastic, disrespectful allegations and accusations and opinions that mercilessly hold the mirror to our own eyes. And so completely the band in excellent( and not at all cacophonous) as well as playful way with their instruments, and create a sound so full of creativity and virtuosity, as well as an almost unbelievable wealth of ideas that takes your breath away. . . . . . Travelling through Flashback to you Fire I see fire Sun in my eyes People in love Talk far too much Cities have lights Cities have lights Sun in my eyes Car passenger Fate at the wheel Quick kiss of death Car passenger Fate at the wheel Quick kiss of death Travelling through Cities have lights Cities have lights Car passenger Fire I see fire . . . .
