Simple Minds 2 - A Dream Through Rain and Time

In 1982, Simple Minds released the album, New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) , and with this album the band would begin to solidify the path to worldwide success through next two albums, Sparkle in the Rain and Once Upon a Time . This episode tells the story of the band from 1982 to 1985 which includes these three classic albums, the development of their sound from the early year more experimental post-punk, and the beginning of the chart success they would see throughout the 80's. An earlier Spotify only episode that covered the early years from formation through 1981 will be recreated and issued on Apple other platforms, along with a discussion episode we had with Simple Minds bassist Derek Forbes.
