About
One of Scotland's finest exports, Simple Minds deliver a strong synth-reared release on New Gold Dream. This album harks the darker side of the band's musicianship, and such material alludes to their forthcoming pop-stadium sound which hurled them into rock mainstream during the latter part of the '80s. They were still honing their artistic rowdiness, and Kerr's pursuing vocals were still hiding. But Simple Minds' skill of tapping into internal emotion is profound on songs such as "Someone, Somewhere in Summertime" and the album's title track. But the dance-oriented tracks like "Promised You a Miracle" and "Glittering Prize" are lushly.

New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) is the fifth studio album by Scottish band Simple Minds, released 1982 on Monday, September 13th in the UK.
It charted for 53 weeks on the UK Album Chart and peaked at #3.
The US edition of the album has 1982 copyrights, it debuted on LP & cassette in January 1983, and on CD in mid-1987.
The US edition of the album replaces the title track with a shorter, unique mix with slightly different intro synths and widely panned drum fills. The 2016 deluxe reissue calls this the 7" Mix, and it may be the same as what was released on a 45 in Italy. This mix is essentially an edit, with slightly less reverb, of the untitled long remix which was released on an Italian 12". That long mix was also on the original UK/EU CD release (PolyGram W. Germany pressing) of the album and is sometimes called the German 12" Mix or German 12" Remix.
