Simple Minds - Big Music 10th Anniversary (2CD) NAD 2024

Simple Mind's 2014 Album Big Music is the sound of a group in retrospection to their artistic heyday, drawing upon irresistible, hookladen synth pop and riotous glam rock.
Their first release for five years, Big Music signalled a triumphant return to form and referenced the group's core influences through covers of The Doors, Patti Smith & The Stranglers.
Originally released in October 2014, Big Music was the sixteenth studio album by the Scottish rock ensemble and debuted at number 12 on the UK albums chart, selling 10,207 copies in its first week.
Expect throwback synth pomp with an elegant commercial sheen , from a release that would go on to become the band's 17th top 75 album.
Features fan favorite tracks "Blindfolded" and "Midnight Walking", and the lead single "Honest".
A deluxe packaged double CD including bonus tracks, Johnson Somerset Remixes and a liner note from frontman Jim Kerr, housed in a seven inch gatefold
sleeve (limited to 1000 copies).
