Simple Minds- New Gold Dream 1982 demo

[@jean-paulmoreau7178]

This band combines so many cool aspects - melodies, poetry, dreamy guitar riffs and strong vocals.... and great bass lines. Melancolia full throttle.... Arthur Rimbaud would be proud.

[@Teotahi]

Tres beau commentaire

[@areyaouank29]

Probably their most artistically accomplished album. I miss these days. 1982-2022.

[@exactsame]

Their finest hour

[@deletebilderberg]

Most commercially sounding album. Their best artistic work was accomplished before this album was released.

[@dwiseman1]

Wow. Loving this early version with the vocals right up front. Like suddenly finding a completely new side to a very old friend :)

[@jasonritchie8475]

It's excellent isn't it? It's the dry vocal before they send it through the gated reverbs

[@michaelcampbell8023]

My fav song of all time. Never a single???🤔🤔

[@michaelcampbell8023]

@@glenndouglas8822 still bloody good as earlier comment like finding a new friend 🤗

[@marcvs1253]

Dereks bass....Whow

[@angellathefordgirl]

Seriously one of the best bass players in the world.

[@chrisscott1633]

SIMPLE MINDS ! ...One of The Cornerstones of my Love of 80 's Music ,that Transcends Time . I would've liked to have mixed this in with the 12" release of the day.. Oi ! Simon Thnx for uploading !

[@annethomas5780]

Early vision great memories for me thanktyou xx

[@celiaayneto9232]

Voice in front of us... Jim- how wonderful- dream in a dream- so frenzy 💥

[@craigsonnenschein9522]

Wow - this is amazing. I think the version they ultimately released was better, but this version is brilliant as well.

[@alessandrotibaldi1273]

bravo Simon, thanks.

[@DavidLazarus]

It's cool to hear this demo, but the absolute best rendition ever is from The Tube that same year! Their performance was absolutely stellar and Mick kills it on keys!

[@marcushalliday2139]

Brilliant

[@slw0599]

❤ this album and hunter & the hunter in particular 🔥

Très beau. Quelle belle voix. Jim kerr et derek forbes magnifique j'adore

[@dequadim]

I strongly want a superdeluxe expanded edition of "New Gold Dream" album.

[@crystalbros4524]

It's out finally...I haven't gotten mine yet, but looks awesome

[@dequadim]

But the demo of "New Gold Dream" has not been yet released :-(

[@James-hd6ez]

​@dequadim The Simple Minds box 5×5 which contains the first 5 Albums from 1979-82( 6 ) released in 2012 it has bonus and extended and live tracks,it is outstanding on every level and is a must for fans of this fantastic band.

[@batphink2655]

Fantastic band!!

Sounds more like a fan-mix of the German 12''/DTS 5.1 version, would explain Kerr's upfront vox.

[@pacootero2351]

probably for dye hard fans... still can hear the inmense quality they had in a probably too long demo. Love these guys

[@sannerodenburg]

Can't be long enough for me!

[@hugarc2700]

La meilleure symphonie.....

[@jasonritchie8475]

Superb! 😍

[@iainc170nj]

This is NOT a demo, just elements of the 2003 DTS DVD-A Mix.

[@glenndouglas8822]

Yeah, it's a fan remix from the 5.1 release.

[@arees6653]

Also the beginning is taken from the Razormaid edit .

[@jerrywallop5647]

You have to spoil the moment……

[@nickbrooker1411]

amazing! so much content that they could literally come up with about 5 different versions of the same song - love the version they settled on though! Great to hear such clear vocals in this demo too!

[@electrohead2347]

its basically a fan mix, not a demo version. Using the 5.1 version of new gold dream, re-organisng the seperate solo track into a completely new mix.

[@steveh3274]

Nobody likes a smart ass

[@glenndouglas8822]

Go to....Some Sweet Day...channel. They do their own remixes from 5:1 releases. They are amazing.

[@celiaayneto9232]

Who cares! It sounds brilliant anyway.

[@kimdawcatgirl]

Charlie's guitar! Damn awesome! Fills my whole being with emotion!

[@CarlosOrtega-mo2oq]

Buenísimo, actual, sempiterno.

[@stevendphoto]

Off my favorite SM album...

[@bartsnowfleet]

Nice to not have the vocal drowning in reverb...

[@frankmuller9619]

Vielen vielen lieben Dank für dieses Lied

[@kcsunshineadventures1496]

Love it❤

[@bo2web]

Amazing ! thx

[@zowiealbe2052]

Wonderful.

[@domjuste]

Great work ! 👍

[@joescerri8301]

Amazing! Derek Forbes was as powerful as Will Heggie (Cocteau Twins), and strangely enough Cocteau Twins took their name from SM. My fave two albums of all time are New Gold Dream - SM, and Treasure Cocteau Twins.

[@bernadezi]

Not a bad demo This band might just make it ;-)

[@alistaircampbell4446]

😃

[@michaelcampbell8023]

Haha. 😂

[@zowiealbe2052]

Très jolie voix ,dommage que le son de la musique soit trop faible //Nice voice ! Good singer,that's not bad at all.Singing simple Minds is very difficult.But pump UP the volume of the music,please .

[@robmccann9844]

King is white and in the crowd is my favourite track on new gold dream

[@elawiechno2339]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Silvia-rm4uy]

Bella aaa

[@XBROS1]

Extraordinaire

[@Noodles37UK]

Why is Kerr's singing so forward in the mix? Good version though.

[@simonfield1029]

I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES

[@bradhorton2456]

Wow wow wow

[@leonardoimparato2285]

Capolavoro n1

[@junglesunrise4582]

Tbis long version is great for a workout or a dance when the lady is out.

[@pats2837]

😎

[@bojanarezina2352]

this is like a pre-mix track, sounds very dry, especially the vocals, before processing

[@nickpn23]

Prefer this to the album version.

[@kcsunshineadventures1496]

Where was this photo taken?

[@christophermagnusson1589]

"And it came too pass." "Setting Sun right in front of me."

[@karelschut]

on 2:24 Jim gets a message on his fone

[@davidsherlock9393]

Its not a demo. Its a remix FFS

[@mantra3000]

Seriously, why give a clickbait fake name to this. It's kind of lame...

[@psalmtwentyfiveeight]

hey hello- this is not a 1982 demo? what is it exactly?

[@kerrfal]

Not a demo!!!!

[@noeljohnson868]

The first minute is great, the second is pretty damn good, too...then, oh boy, wtf happened....time to go elsewhere...

[@pinkstrumpet]

I'm a big fan but god that guy wrote some atrocious lyrics!

[@toptonychick]

Most of them are images rather then lyrics.

[@davidcp7957]

You gotta be kidding, the lyrics are great, they create fantastic dream-like imagery to the music, it's musical art, not rock n roll.

[@glenndouglas8822]

Toptonychick as got it spot on.

[@danielgareau2836]

They're atrocious lyrics only if you're illiterate and have no imagination for imagery.

[@dwiseman1]

@@danielgareau2836 Yes quite :)
