Real To Real Cacophony.
Simple Minds
Production focuses on a dense, electronic approach characteristic of the era. The influence of German krautrock and studio techniques associated with Brian Eno is present throughout these tracks.
Recorded as the post-punk movement gathered steam, the record exhibits a claustrophobic, moody intensity. The band members stepped away from the anthemic style they would later adopt, choosing instead to explore jagged textures and electronic sound.
