"Neon Lights is the 1st time #SimpleMinds have put together a collection of non-original material. We thought it was appropriate at a period of looking back that we go to the very foundations of @simplemindsmusic.bsky.social which of course is the music & the bands who influenced us" #JimKerr

"With the #punk thing it was the opposite... You didn’t want to look pretty, you didn’t want to be seen as a sex symbol, you wanted to be seen for what you were actually doing – for the music and what it actually was." #PaulineMurray

On October 8, 1976 EMI records signed #SexPistols to a 2-year contract & quickly put them in the studio w/producer #DaveGoodman but he failed to get anything on tape that satisfied anyone. Enter Chris Thomas who had mixed The Dark Side of the Moon to oversee their 1 single.

#5debutalbums8084 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - From Her To Eternity (1984) A deranged debut solo album supported by well chosen co-conspirators. From this point, it was clear we were in the presence of someone very different. Strong contender. Best track - From Her To Eternity #MusicSky

#5debutalbums8084 Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (1981) Who knew that a mixture of African influenced rhythms underpinning field recordings, evangelists and radio exorcism could produce such a timeless and innovative album. Well, clearly Eno/Byrne had an idea. #MusicSky
