Imho Michael MacNeil was the biggest loss in history of Simple Minds. He gave them the signature sound, full of brilliant ideas. Until he quit, they created the best and timeless songs. They never been better. If you listen to "Live in the City of Lights" you know what I mean. An absolut outstanding live record with lots of the very best songs they did.
Excellent concise documentary of the metamorphosis of SM. Has Sky Arts produced a longer version, including interviews with stars, past and present, and their entourage? If not, could they?
Sparkle in the Rain defined my teenage years. Wonderful album.

Fascinating...and an interesting observation of the first decade of Simple Minds and their rise to huge international acclaim, and beyond.
