Our Take

Simple Minds' Sparkle in the Rain (Transparent Blue Vinyl) is a shimmering example of 80s synth-pop at its finest. Released in 1984, this album has been reissued on stunning blue vinyl that adds an extra layer of cool to an already iconic record. From the opening track "Up on the Catwalk," it's clear that Simple Minds are here to make a statement. With soaring vocals from lead singer Jim Kerr and pulsating synths, this is music that demands to be heard. "Waterfront" is a standout track, with its powerful drumbeat and anthemic chorus that will have you fist-pumping along in no time. But it's not all big, bombastic anthems on Sparkle in the Rain. Tracks like "Book of Brilliant Things" and "Shake Off the Ghosts" showcase the band's more introspective side, with haunting melodies and thoughtful lyrics that stick with you long after the music has stopped. Overall, Simple Minds have crafted an album that is both timeless and timely. The reissue on transparent blue vinyl only adds to the allure of this already essential record. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the music wash over you. This is an album that truly sparkles in the rain.
