Simple Minds Information |
 | | Simple Minds' initial recordings, such as Life in a Day, but primarily Real To Real Cacophony and Empires and Dance, were heavily influenced by Kraftwerk, Neu and similar European artists, and to that end, Simple Minds promoted itself as a European band, not a Scottish or UK band. |
 | | Because of Simple Minds' powerful stage presence and lyrics that trafficked in Christian symbolism, the band was often unfairly criticized by some in the music press as a lesser version of U2, despite the fact that both bands were heading in different musical directions. |
 | | Simple Minds' latest album, Black and White 050505, released in the fall of 2005, was previewed on the band's official website for several weeks prior to its release. |
