Simple Minds: Jim Kerr (vocals); Charlie Burchill (guitar, keyboards, programming); Derek Forbes (bass); Mel Gaynor (drums). Additional personnel: The Dukes (strings); Hami Lee, Michael Niggs, Jim McDermott (programming). Recorded at Locheam Studios, Scotland; Metropolis, London, England; Plus XXX, Paris, France; Home Studios, Dublin, Ireland; Capri Digital, Italy. Simple Minds signed to Chrysalis for Neapolis and saw the return of Derek Forbes on bass. Neapolis signals a return to form while remaining on the cutting edge. Unlike U2, the band they have been most often compared to, Simple Minds have not lost themselves in techno beats and processed samples. Longtime fans will embrace this album; from the opening track, "Song for the Tribes," through the two singles, "Glitterball" and "War Babies," one immediately recognizes that classic sound. Other standout tracks include "Tears of a Guy," "Superman V Supersoul," and a potential third single, "Killing Andy Warhol." The biggest surprise on the album is "Androgyny," a welcomed instrumental in the tradition of their earlier works (see Empires and Dance, Sister Feelings Call, and Sons and Fascination). It's nice to know that in the 1990s, one classic new wave band hasn't forgotten what it is all about. Unfortunately, Chrysalis felt there was not enough of a following outside of Europe to justify the worldwide release of the album. ~ Paul Fucito
