A reviewer once described is a "soundtrack for heaven" and it really is. A wonderful summer day captured perfectly on vinyl. Almost every song is flawless... a truly rare occurrence. This was back in the day when production had the stamp of the producer all over it. Steve Lillywhite did an amazing job. He also did peter gabriel's Melt among many others. If I had entree to any producer I wanted I'd shoot for lillywhite, lanois, or eno as my top three. New Gold Dream is SimpleMinds masterpiece.

Anyway, The Bug sounds really interesting (that's grime, not dubstep, though - it's the same thing but with Caribbean rapping over, lol) Woops, sorry Jakub, now I see you already wrote an explanation on triangle.

The production is like getting punched softly through a gold lamé sheet. In the best possible way. New Gold Dream is my fave as well.

New Gold Dream was probably their last album i bought before they adopted, in my opinion an Americanised big anthemic U2 style sound. Prior to this though they had a more experimental electronic sound, try Empires and Dance or Sons and Fascination or even their first album Life In A Day and i reckon you'll find a few gems. BTW...their album artwork was also considerably more creative in those earlier days too. Quite surprised to see Simple Minds on here especially from this period.
