Simple Minds - X5
All the essential albums in one place. Saw a thing on BBC4 Scotland (on Iplayer if you're interested) called rip it up : Synth Pop. Usual talking heads thang, but SM stood out so dug them out. I probably play those first 5 albums as much now as I ever did. Pity they turned into U2.




X5 is magnificent and the live album version even better, I went to the Barrowlands gig for that tour. As for turning into U2, tad unfair as musically the Minds are far more gifted and their more recent albums Black and White 050505, Grafitti Soul, Big Music and more recently Walk Between Worlds show they can blow Bono and co away. Bring on 'Live In The City of Angels'!!!

(Saw the Rip It Up program, very, nice to see Pete Agnew (Nazareth) on it as well)
