New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) - Simple Minds - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In many ways, the release of New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) marked the end of Simple Mind's transition from critic darlings to proper hitmakers. Released in September 1982, the album found a band at a pivotal point in their career, striving for commercial success after a series of critically acclaimed albums that blurred the lines between new wave, post-punk, and art-rock. Singles like "Promised You a Miracle," "Glittering Prize," and "Someone, Somewhere in Summertime" not only enjoyed great popularity in the UK charts but also became essential entries in the Simple Minds canon, ushering in a new era for the Scottish rock group. Recorded with two drums playing simultaneously, the LP's monolithic title track, "New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84)," opened the second half of the album with a healthy dose of post-punk solemnity and a cascade of synth and guitar melodies that seemed to manifest out of thin air. In 1983, the song was released as a limited-edition single during their visit to Italy.
