## Description

As a group who formed in the punk era & found their mojo through a shared love of Bowie, Kraftwerk & electronic dance, Simple Minds are not natural acoustic adventurers, but they have done a remarkable job here adding fresh nuance to brilliant songs without trampling on sacred memories. On Acoustic, they found a way of doing the acoustic thing without losing their essence. A dozen Simple Minds songs loved by millions now sound softer, more organic & even more likely to leave a lasting imprint.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the same old "old songs done acoustic" catalog filler
*by R***K on July 13, 2017*

I'm generally not a fan of these "old songs newly done acoustic" records. Usually putting out acoustic retreads of the old hits is the last refuge of the idea-less. But this set from Simple Minds works amazingly well. I ordered within minutes of hearing the acoustic redo of "Promised You a Miracle," which is absolutely transcendent. It's a whole song that just happens to have the exact same words and melody of an old familiar friend from the early 80s. The New Gold Dream LP is a particularly rich vein to mine as "Glittering Prize" is just as amazing and fresh. And the fact that I mention two of the songs off that LP does not denigrate the awesome sound of "Someone Somewhere in Summertime" or New Gold Dream's title track. Everything works great, except "Sanctify Yourself," which works much much better with the majesterial bombast of the original. But "See The Lights" and "Chelsea Girl" more than compensate for this weak link. The only way this could've been better would've been if there had been an acoustic version of "70 Cities As Love Brings The Fall."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jim Kerr keeps going strong
*by K***K on October 9, 2023*

I like Simple Minds...and their elevating music. This CD does not disappoint. It still has the ethereal feel and thought provoking lyrics and keyboard/guitar etc...along with Kerr's unique voice and style are classic Simple Minds. Listened to the whole album as soon as I got it and enjoyed all of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great CD, not boring.  Highly recommended.
*by M***N on November 11, 2016*

I am loving this album. I haven't listened to it all yet but a couple stand outs so far. I love this is an acoustic album without being boring. Sometimes old songs get redone with just a guitar and it doesn't resemble any of the originality although powerful in a different realm. This is the opposite. The acoustic flare is there with the energy of the original song. Just take a listen to Sanctify Yourself. See the Lights brings back memories of an enjoyable time of my life. So, I am about half way through and I love the full sounds. The only reason I didn't get it 5 stars is I would have liked a track from "Good News." I am sure everyone will have a track they wished was on here. I am just in love with this sound and how fresh these old tracks sound. The best thing they have done in a while
