Our Take

In a world where the rain seems to never stop, Simple Minds have delivered an album that truly sparkles like glitter in a storm. The 40th Anniversary Boxset of "Sparkle in the Rain" is a delightful trip down memory lane for fans of the Scottish band, providing not just the original album, but also a treasure trove of rare and unreleased tracks that will have you dancing in the rain. From the anthemic "Waterfront" to the ethereal "Speed Your Love to Me," Simple Minds showcase their ability to create music that is both powerful and emotive. The production on this boxset is top-notch, with each track sounding fresh and vibrant despite being four decades old. But what truly sets this boxset apart is the inclusion of live recordings and demos that offer a glimpse into the creative process behind the album. Hearing the band's raw energy and passion in these recordings is a true treat for fans, and makes the experience of listening to "Sparkle in the Rain" even more special. Overall, Simple Minds have delivered a boxset that is both a love letter to their fans and a celebration of their iconic album. So grab your umbrella, turn up the volume, and let the music wash over you like a warm spring rain. It's a ride you won't want to miss.
