Synopsis
Simple Minds have been many different bands and several great ones. Emerging in 1978 from Glasgow's post-punk scene, they transitioned from restless art-rock to electro futurism, mutated into passionate pop contenders and, finally, a global rock behemoth. The drama of their story lies in these transformations and triumphs, conflicts and contradictions. Written with the full input and cooperation of the band, in Themes for Great Cities Grame Thomson reclaims and revivifies the mangificence of Simple Minds' pioneering early records, from the glitchy Euro-ambience of Real to Real Cacophony and Empires and Dance to the pulsing, agitated romance of Sons and Fascination, New Cold Dream and beyond Featuring in-depth new interviews with Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill and the original band members, alongside key figures from within their creative community, Themes for Great Cities celebrates the ground-breaking work made by a group continually testing its capabilities., 'Nobody owes us anything, but the Simple Minds story has been too condensed. After Live Aid and 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' there hasn't been quite the credit for those first few records. I think they contain some really special music. I can hear the flaws but there's something about the spirit and imagination in them that feels good. They draw from such a wide range of influences . . . but the spirit of it was always Simple Minds.' Jim Kerr, to the author An illuminating new biography of one of Britain's biggest and most influential bands, written with the full input and cooperation of Simple Minds, shedding new light on their dazzling art-rock legacy. Themes for Great Cities features in-depth new interviews with original band members Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Mick MacNeil and Derek Forbes, alongside key figures from within their creative community and high-profile fans such as Bobby Gillespie, James Dean Bradfield and Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite.

They have sold in the region of 60 million records and remain a worldwide phenomenon. The drama of their tale lies in these transformations and triumphs, conflicts and contradictions.
