After leaving the Virgin label, and a one-off album with Chrysalis, Simple Minds took stock and decided to make records for themselves.

An album of cover versions of songs dear to Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill, Neon Lights, was released in 2001, followed by Cry in 2002, an album of new compositions recorded in Glasgow and Sicily.

Graffiti Soul continued the bands return to the top, charting at 10 in May 2009.

This set features the five albums plus twenty-four bonus tracks non-album B-sides and originally limited bonus CD tracks, including the rare album of covers Searching For The Lost Boys (now including a cover of T.

Rexs Children Of The Revolution), and the Big Music bonus CD (now including the Simple MindsStranglers collaboration).

The DVD features the ten rare single promo videos from these albums, along with the even more rare EPKs made for the albums promotion.

Housed in a handsome 12 x 12 book, the booklet features photos and newly-written extensive and revealing album-by-album notes by Jim Kerr himself.

Not because the earlier work is oh-so-arty that everyone these days continuously raves about, but because of the potential the group showed on those - forever loved - first five albums; the potential later seemed to have been sacrificed for the sheer stadium appeal of their music, past or present.

And lets not shy away from the fact, their music always seemed to have aimed for that kind of exposure.

Sadly this is always the same story - groups come along, we expect them to stay uncommercial or experimental, but where is the limit to this - or say, where to find the right key to success, be it creative or commercial.

Simple Minds may have compromised theirs eons ago - blame it on breaking America or the so-called U2 complex, but a certain quality keeps informing their (newer) work.

But thats more got to do with a certain generation gap, people with different tastes approaching one such groups work.

From their beginnings as a raw, glammed-up New Wave band in 1977 to their complex Alternative Rock of the present, Simple Minds has maintained a dramatic flair and a deep complexity in their constantly changing sound.

Jim Kerrs vocals leap effortlessly from raw Punk raspiness to urgent emotional release while the rest of the band pits guitar distortion against saxophone leads and vaulting Gospel vocals against bubbling Synth Pop keyboards.

Simple Minds daring approach to the shifting sounds of the times has always raised the stakes for others.

Most bands these days would kill for a discography like Simple Minds, up to and including Sparkle In The Rain which I think is a hugely under rated LP.
