Album Description

Most people know Simple Minds chiefly as purveyors of arena-sized 1980s pop/rock grandeur a la "Don't You Forget About Me" and "Sanctify Yourself". By the time these Scots broke through with a wide-screen U2-ish approach, there'd already been plenty of water under the bridge. They started out firmly in edgy post-punk mode in the late '70s, and by the time of their third album, EMPIRES AND DANCE, they'd reached a crucial turning point. Though they'd begun the process on their preceding record, here they perfected their mix of post-punk/New Wave rock, colourful synthesizers, and dance beats, effectively creating the template for what would soon become known as the New Romantic sound (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, etc.). Throughout the album, skittering, Giorgio Moroder-influenced sequencers brush up against gritty guitar punctuation and funky bass lines as rock and disco fight it out for rhythmic dominance, creating the dance-rock paradigm that had yet to be codified. EMPIRES AND DANCE officially marks the beginning of Simple Minds' most artistically fertile period.
