5.0 out of 5 stars
classic synthesizer punk from the '80's,
By apfb (Pasadena, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Gold Dream (Audio CD)
To the record company-- this album needs to be re-released in the US!!!As a dedicated listener of post-punk new wave music during the golden days of KROQ in Pasadena, CA (late 1970's until early 1990's), the Simple Minds stood out as the perfect balance between aggressive guitar rock and smooth synthesizer melody. Hearing this album (and also Sparkle in the Rain) was like finding your favorite toy from childhood. New Gold Dream falls on the more melodic side of the Simple Minds. The Simple Minds missed their calling as film composers-- their instrumental tracks are among some of their best compositions.

New Gold Dream is Simple Minds' finest achievment,
By "oldwaver" (Boulder, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Gold Dream (Audio CD)
New Gold Dream is the quintessential example of Simple Minds' magical combintation of new age synth sounds and guitar-based post punk pop music. From the dancey, title track, New Gold Dream, to the etherial instrumental, Somebody Up There Likes You, this album towers above the other great new age classics from Great Britain in the early 80s. I believe this is one of the best albums of all times.

This is the one....,
By BC "BCRI" (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Gold Dream (Audio CD)
This is the one MUST OWN simple minds CD. The music is dreamy and lush... containing many more layers than most of the other synth bands of the era. King is White is simply a masterpiece! Big Sleep, Someone Somewhere and New Gold Dream are all tops.
