NEW GOLD DREAM (81-82-83-84) is the sound of a band fully realising the
sophisticated, accessible pop sound they were striving for, whilst
continuing their quest for experimentation. Whereas previous albums had
explored the dark undercurrent of a more monochrome European culture,
NEW GOLD DREAM is an expansive, cinematic affair, with a generally
lighter, more melodic sound, bursting with warmth and colour. Simple
Minds’ ability to tap into internal emotion is profound on tracks such
as ‘Someone, Somewhere in Summertime’ and the album’s title track. The
haunted nature of ‘Hunter And The Hunted’ was lead gravitas by guest,
the truly legendary US jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, renowned for his
work with the Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet, his own hugely
influential jazz albums and the Grammy award-winning single ‘Rockit’,
hailed as the first jazz-hip hop song.
The
album’s timeless, enduring appeal – including it’s chronological
listing at No.489 in the best selling music reference book, 1001 Albums
You Must Hear Before You Die – makes it a masterpiece for each new
generation to discover.
The NEW GOLD
DREAM (81-82-83-84) deluxe box consists of six discs. DISC ONE is a
re-master of the original album – re-mastered at Abbey Road Studios by
Andrew Walter and approved by Charlie Burchill. DISC TWO features
