Every now and then I hear something old that blows me away (really never happens with the new stuff that much, sadly). I recently heard such a thing, the SIMPLE MINDS second album REAL TO REAL CACAPHONY. I have no idea how I missed something so freaking amazing. I never really "got" the Simple Minds, only really having heard the Breakfast Club song & SPARKLE IN THE RAIN (also amazing- more about that later.). I just decided to run them through, I have to say: the first LP LIFE IN A DAY is just OK, typical british post-punk, not that thrilling, the third EMPIRES AND DANCE is almost as exciting as REAL TO REAL, as are all the EPs from then through NEW GOLD DREAM, which is also great. Man, I'm glad I saved them up until now.
