Simple Minds: Wonderful in Young Life [12’’ Extended Version, 2024, Unofficial]

All sounds by Simple Minds. No added artificial ingredients.
Here is an excellent review of the original track by the Post-Punk Monk (link below):
“Wonderful In Young Life” had never been a track that had any particular effect on me, but with the many listenings I’ve given SFC over the last week [...], it’s become the track that towers over Sister Feelings Call for me now.
The manic energy and beat of Roxy Music’s “Editions Of You” was given a precognitive dose of “New Gold Dream’s” lush, sensuality with this track. Kerr’s lyrics, which became completely positive here for the first time in the band’s career, exploded outward in rhythmic repetitions of key phrases to fit the motorik impulse of the song. It is the key song here in linking the Simple Minds of 1980 with the one of 1982. While they would explore such buoyant emotions on “New Gold Dream,” their demeanor would be a far cry from the ebullient energy level here, featuring much slower tempos to more introspectively explore their newly defrosted emotions. In this way, it prefigures the also upbeat, but more energetic sound to come later, as in 1984’s “Sparkle In the Rain.”
The normally complex bass patterns that Derek Forbes usually played, became a motorik staccato here, interlocking with the equally simple, propulsive patterns that Brian McGee was playing on the drums. Charlie Burchill’s guitar trades licks with McGee’s economical drum fills on the song’s somewhat more dreamy chorus. How could I have overlooked this song’s brilliance for 33 years?! With the scales now fallen from my ears, I am in awe of this song! (Posted on December 8, 2014)

Once again what an amazing sound! As soon as the notification popped up i grabbed my AirPods and listened to this amazing remix that you have created. The ambient outro was an added bonus. I never watch the video during my first listen. I don’t want any distractions. One of my favourite Simple Minds album tracks 110berlin. Thank you so much. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪

"Citizen" from Real to Real Cacophony is one of my fave SM songs......can you work your magic on that please?😊

[@110BERLIN_]

I'll try. (There are a few vocal excerpts from Citizen in this mix, but you probably noticed that...)

[@andreweccles8130]

Sounds very much like there early stuff from the Sins of fascination album

[@110BERLIN_]

The original track is from Sister Feelings Call, which was released together with _Sons and Fascination_ in 1981.
