Magic is this is the one we link to? It's just I'll do the Australian copy tomorrow and if I know this is the one I won't splatter the links into cyberspace again. Back for five minutes and look at the mess.
HaHa! picked up an Australian copy of this today and hearing it again confirms everything I said in the review on this entry. I'll upload the Australian edition soon - which for some reason came out on Arista over here. Linked to original 1980 UK Zoom release but the link disappeared when I tried to link the German release. HELP!
ReviewWithout doubt the best Simple Minds album ever made. Finally, after years of trying, the band develop a unique sound that captures the zeitgeist. The album catches the band transforming the promise of their early underground beginnings into something of substance. Unfortunately, though, pop super-stardom was around the corner and the mid 80's turned the Simple Minds in to a money spinning juggernaut that was completely devoid of any substance at all. We do still have this album to remind us of how great they really were.
