: - New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)
1985 European pressing.

One of my all-time favourite albums. This record sounds like sitting in front of the fireplace in an old house on a cold winter evening, despite the first track talking about summertime. The bass playing is excellent on this record as well. I found this yesterday on an unexpected outdoor market and it was a pleasant surprise.

was probably my go-to band back then.

I've been known to still put on headphones late at night and listen to one of the first two albums straight through.

good afternoon! youtube.com/watch?v=CdqoNKCCt7

the famous synth riffs in this song are a neat potted lesson in inversions and harmonic movement

"Voice leading to voices
Last song that the land sings
In colorful breathless emotional sea
Leaving us in this way
Seeing out the angel
From the shadow of a day
That stands alone and crying young"—Seeing Out the Angel

Had an incredible record haul yesterday! Only to the last two in the picture had I ever listened before, and the one in the middle below I had been looking for for months (albeit on CD).

I hope with the following hashtags this will reach the right audience so that I know who to follow! 😎

40 jahre alt und gefällt mir immer noch
Die Platte dazu hatte ich auf Kassette aufgenommen um sie im Auto hören zu können.
Wenn man sich die ersten drei Scheiben von anhört, ist das ein wahnsinnige Stil Wechsel.

Schau dir "The video for breakthrough track 'Promised You A Miracle' by Simple Minds, directed by Steve Barron" auf YouTube an

From the opening call, the opening riff, it leaps out of the radio and demands to be heard.

The song was turned down by Bryan Ferry and Sir Billy Idol - and six times by Simple Minds.

Forever associated with "The Breakfast Club", part of the cultural canon and an easy 1985 reference point.

Does bombast detract from the song's fretful doubts, how the Club was a one-day wonder?
