Jazz keyboard-player Herbie Hancock played a synthesizer solo on Hunter And The Hunted. The album turned out to be the (much deserved) breakthrough for the band and delivered two major hits in Promised You A Miracle and Glittering Prize. The album New Gold Dream consisted of studio sessions with drummers Ogletree and Gaynor, supplemented with Promised You a Miracle (on which Hyslop played the drums). The following Simple Minds album was released on September 13th, 1982, 35 years ago today. During sessions for the album the next (steady) drummer was found: Mel Gaynor, who, uncredited, laid down many drumparts for the album. He was replaced by Mike Ogletree, who got to (co-)play on the next album. For five months Kenny Hyslop held the position: he played on the Promised You A Miracle single, but didn’t really fit in (the band). New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84)įinding a new drummer proved to be difficult. Peter Gabriel chose Simple Minds as his support-act on his European tour, making Simple Minds known to a wider audience than ever before.Īfter the tour, drummer Brian McGee left, exhausted from the constant touring. Praise among critics couldn’t reach higher and now a larger audience was reached as well. Both albums contain top songs, among which In Trance As Mission, Sweat In Bullet, Love Song, Theme For Great Cities and The American. The second album was initially (the first 10,000 copies) part of Sons And Fascination, and was later released separately. The first release for the label was Sons And Fascination / Sister Feelings Call, two albums. In 1981 Simple Minds signed to Virgin Records. With Celebrate the album even contained two prize songs. The song I Travel, in particular, is a beautiful example of early 1980’s new-wave with dance influences. This album also contained the first genius Simple Minds songs. A lot of the songs had minimalist arrangements and sequencing was used a lot. The band grew ever more popular among critics. The rhythm section gained importance, musical minimalism was exerted. In the years to come many new-wave bands flirted with dance music and funky rhythms (like Talking Heads, A Certain Ratio, Gang Of Four and New Order), but Simple Minds was one of the very first. The album was more experimental and dark than the previous one. This was the first album that established Simple Minds as an interesting and innovative band. Immediately following a tour, the band reconvened in the studio for a sequel: Real To Real Cacophony, which was released the same year, 1979. The album, and the first single culled from it, sold reasonably well (considering it was a debut) and they were enlisted as the support-act to Magazine. They signed a deal with Arista and in 1979 their first album Life In A Day was released. They practiced a lot and soon made a name for themselves as an exciting live-act. Simple Minds – Life In A Day (1979), Real To Real Cacophony (1979), Empires And Dance (1980), Sons And Fascination (1981) & Sister Feelings Call (1981) Simple Mindsĭuring the course of 1978 the first incarnation of Simple Minds took on a permanent shape: Kerr and Burchill were accompanied by keyboard player Mick MacNeil, bass player Derek Forbes and drummer Brian McGee.

This resulted in two bands: The Cuban Heels and Simple Minds (after the line He’s so simple-minded, he can’t drive his module from David Bowie’s The Jean Genie). In November of 1977 their (only) single Saints And Sinners was released. Their compositions were incorporated into the set. Soon discord within the band popped up: the founders up against the newcomers (Kerr and Burchill). Two weeks later they were the support-act for Generation X.

Kerr and Burchill were childhood friends. The band was completed with two musicians: singer and textwriter Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill. Johnny & The Self-Abusers was a punkband that was founded in Glasgow in 1977.
