It is hardly surpising that most of it was written in the studio - it is hard to imagine such a work coming out of anything other than experiment. More than this, though, is how listenable it is for such an experimental record. However, on revisiting it as a bona-fide fan it's obvious that it is a work of huge depth and originality. I first heard this before I was into Simple Minds about 15 years ago and couldn't make head nor tail of it. By far the most creative band of this era they launched their golden period with Real to Reel Cacophony. 'Simple Minds' work from 1979 to 1982 can not be over-rated in a review of post-punk UK music.

I still need the original UK LP pressing for “Red For Danger,” the UK 12″ of “Once Bitten” for the two remixes of that track, and the UK 7″ of “Heartland” for “Backward. That’s a lot of tracks covering her ’82-’83 period. So as I see it, the ultimate RM of “Once Bitten” will have the following tracks: Ideally, I should get the UK 7″ of “Riders On The Storm” for the 4:00 edit of that cut. It has the dub version of “Riders” so I’m set there. The long version is already on the “Once Bitten” album that I have and I also have a German compilation CD called “Heartland” that compiled tracks from the first two Annabel Lamb albums. As they arrived yesterday, I’ve not yet had the pleasure of hearing them. I have a single 12″ single for “The Flame” but I had never ever run across any other Annabel Lamb material, but a friend of mine did and sent me the following 7″ treats. Subsequent albums seem to have surfaced in Germany only. I have a third album, “Justice,” which is actually her fifth disc as released in Germany on Metronome in 1988. Every song on that one was a real winner and the production was closer to dance-rock, making her a slightly easier sell.Īfter her first two albums on A+M, she moved to RCA for 1986’s “When Angels Travel” and “Brides” from the next year. When her second album, “The Flame” came out in 1984 it was a quantum leap from the latent quality of the first album. The last thing I have he manned the boards on was Voice Farm’s “Bigger, Cooler, Weirder” album. #Simple minds new gold dream 320 rar tvHe’s best known, probably, for producing Alternative TV and spin off artist Henry Badowski in addition to Ofra Haza. Her early records were produced by her husband at the time, Wally Brill. Her music binds New Wave with jazzy touches that also manage to straddle rock and pop. She has a dry, arid singing style that sounds like nothing else. Then there was that even briefer vogue for DVD singles that completely passed me by. The BPI then acted to put a moratorium on further such actions that only eventually gave way for that brief period in the 90s when CD singles sometimes had the music video for a song included as a bonus session on a disc for playback on a computer. It seems that A+M courted great controversy by bundling a VHS cassette with the single as a freebie to push it up the charts. I remember reading about the single as sold in the UK in Billboard at the time. The album was notorious for a cover of The Doors “Riders On The Storm” with Ray Manzarek reprising on keyboards. There was a song called “Snake Plisken” on it and any references to John Carpenter’s beloved schlock film “Escape From New York” were endearing enough to investigate. I saw it in the bins and bought it because it looked interesting. Annabel Lamb is a slightly obscure singer who came to my attention when A+M released her debut album, “Once Bitten” in the US in 1983.
