Simple Minds: Room [Unofficial 12’’ Extended Version, 2024]

A view of glory from this room. All sounds by Simple Minds. No added artificial ingredients.
"Films, and certain film directors in particular, have been as much an influence on our work as almost any musicians or songwriters. Director David Lynch would easily be considered one of those who managed to entrance us with his work over the last 40 years, and I recall with clarity the excitement of heading out as a band, after a long day's work in our London studio to experience late night showings of his initial cult movie, Eraserhead. It was from out of that movie that the burgeoning and somewhat unique reputation of David Lynch started growing. From that point our own fascination with his entertaining and unnerving vision kicked in hard. […] If I had to choose one Minds song above all else that I feel might have been inspired by the same kind of disquieting and dreamlike underworld that gives birth to Lynch's tales? I reckon ‘Room’ from our Empires and Dance album might just fit that bill.” (Kerr, 24th June 2018)

Oh my lord. What a wonderful remix.

[@themindsable]

the group should, thanks to your fabulous work, publish a best off maxis...I will do everything for a return to Simple Minds

[@obee66633]

Agree!

[@AK-hl4mt]

Simple Minds were unreal in their early days. This is a brilliant remix.

[@suissebcninvest]

Absolutely. Once again, 110Berlin showing his art-style. Magnificient. And by the way, very good point reflecting the Lynch's movies atmospheres. Congratulations.

[@jean-yveslaurier8538]

Euhhhmmm ?? WTF ? Both sound & vision..❤❤❤ I just got the same feeling of when I heard their old albums for the first time back in the days

[@colinneary7734]

Brilliant. Very reminiscent of the version they did at the cash for kids concerts

[@kjall3342]

Man! I mean, good lord! More from the Empires and Dance. Absolutely adore it! Was expecting a rapturous breakthrough into the heavy rancorous feeling of the song multiple times, but this sort of dreamy-trod through the song is also fantastic! The path less trodden, to be sure of.

[@williamhastie5056]

Absolutely incredible piece of work 110berlin. Sound is amazing and very hypnotic. I felt like I was tripping. Some of the high rise flats in the video remind me of the Toryglen area of Glasgow where Jim & Charlie grew up. Thanks for your hard work. It’s always greatly appreciated. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪

[@110BERLIN_]

Thank you, William!

[@rottingchrist1642]

My prayers have been heard🥳

[@dupahead2012]

I'm fairly sure you spend as much time and energy on getting the right visuals and then adapting them for your tracks - and it shows - and the visuals are just as excellent as your adaptations! Really well done stuff.

[@110BERLIN_]

Thank you. Yes, the visuals should somehow enhance the music. Whether or not they "work" is, of course, subjective. As a rule, the visuals are an afterthought, though. The music's the main thing.

[@user-xb3oy3vk7v]

One of my all time favourite simple minds songs fantastic mix too

[@doublecrown]

Your mixes are brilliant - the band should hire you for an official release!

[@jacotruter2498]

Enjoying your remix immensely..thanks 110berlin..!

[@ChaumetJean-Pierre]

Fabuleux! Toujours surpris par ce groupe. Des sons extraordinaires ❤

[@thedukeofchortlebury9124]

Man, that's dark. I love it.

[@MrChrisvonsteiner]

It needed to be done ! Thanks ! 🤗

[@baldmindsfan]

Extraordinary, thank you again

[@themindsable]

Fantastique magnétique brillant ensorcelant génial 💖

[@TaraTara-ld2xb]

I wish more vaporwave sounded like this - slow and trippy, but with *regular* vocals still. I don't know if you were trying to make this vaporwave, but it made me think of that. Also... This is art! ❤❤❤

[@110BERLIN_]

Thank you, Tara! If it sounds vaporwave-ish, that wasn't the intention. Perhaps there is a similarity due to soundtrack-like atmosphere, though.

[@leebedy71]

Another great mix of Another great track

[@jamesmcewan692]

Blew me away with this 1 mate 👏👏👏

[@simonlloyd7369]

Done it again 110berlin, brilliant !

[@brucefindlay]

👍👍

[@obee66633]

Just brilliant! Love it!❤ thanks for these absolut stunning mixes! Keep on please! Greets from Berlin.🫶

[@rottingchrist1642]

I dont know how you do it! But if Kerr Burchill Forbes McGee and Mc Neill goes back to the early eighties they choose you above Leckie i think

[@110BERLIN_]

I appreciate your compliment, but I'm not vain enough to think that my humble manipulation is even remotely comparable to the work of a legendary producer and engineer.

[@stuartpittaway4194]

I adore the original but this doesn't really go anywhere and takes an age to do it.

[@scotttait2197]

Not one of your best , doesn't flow as easily as some of your others , too conceptualised or whatever

[@ChesterStBackpackers]

Have to agree. Sorry, 110, too much art and not enough talk. Was really hoping the song would kick in at the end but it just fizzed out with the old woman
