Simple Minds - I Travel (extended)

[shoey000]

What a great song, god this takes me back to sitting on the floor with a big pair of bulky headphones on listening to my big brothers record collection. First time I heard this it totally blew me away, so glad that it still does.

[MrNivo666]

[MrScotmac]

probably my favourite SIMPLEMINDS song

[MrJackdeman069]

This is Kurly of the World Famous Maniacs, and I love this version.. Kick Ass...:-),

[homebasebizcoach]

I love this song. Brings me back to the Disco days in the early 80's Club 47, Hot Trax and Casa Camino Real!!

[MrDemilord]

Is it weird to get Goose Spots of this song?

[Friveldos]

Live is soo much better! But this shit is very ok!

[gumusluk05]

Night Moves, Glasgow circa 1983,so good !!!

[yorick1245]

Brilliant! I still love this song. Used to dance on it in the disco.I still have the 12 inch maxisingle in my cupboard.

[doylustheboy]

jaggynettle70 - fuck yeah !

[Happysundaze]

Bongo electro absolute floor filler this and any day

[modefan63]

this great song was played at nuts and bolts in toronto. in 1984

[podiumguy100]

@modefan63 ... it so was ! ... I was there as well

[khorrumg]

The lyrics....'assasin in a hit and run....asia steals a new-born son..' still seems so relevant

[ByronRaver]

Used to dance with some poses thown in to impress the birds to this with the strobe lights at Fusion Nightclub, ah yes memories

[Archtungmonster]

great song

[agoose72]

inclusive vinyl crackles love it...

[Lalo3001]

Most extended versions don't do justice to the original but this one compliments and even enhances the original.

Thanks a million for posting!

[zombiecinema]

love dis song!!!!

[abagail4me]

I know that they disliked being associated with the new romantic movement but to me this is one of the greatest singles that came out at that point in time,I'll never sell my official CD copy of "Empires And Dance"EVER!

[rabblue]

simply a classic

[sonnydaytona]

Those were the times! 80'S FOREVER!

[AntjeBohnhorst]

Wow, I remember holidays at the Mediterranean, listening to this in the car at full volume, with windows opened - youth, friends, sun and great music.... That's when the Minds were still a great band, unfortunately later they became absolutely boring... But when I listen to their early stuff now, I wonder why I don't like Trance and Techno...

[johnnyatab]

Arpeggio should have sued them. The background instrumental is almost an exact replica.

[delboyabdn]

i forgot how good this song is,i miss simple minds lol

[whereangelsplay1]

ty for loading the unjumpy version of this track!

[whereangelsplay1]

i had this and it jumped like fuk

TY for the un jumpy version! 

[caspersmummy]

Love love love love love....this is the best simple minds track, thought about it because BBC Radio Scotland played it last night as part of their nightly themes. Brings back memories of when my mum was a cleaner in the nightclub and I used to help her at the weekends...and the cool London DJ used to play this and I used to dance on the raised lit dancefloor. Oh my gosh, those were the days :)

[abagail4me]

sorry I meant early 80's post punk.

[abagail4me]

Still sounds fresh and energetic today,what makes this song still sound awesome is that balance between the sounds of Kratwerk and the most advanced ideas in late 70s/early 60s post punk .

[uleavemecold]

this was when simple minds were still cool.

[crazycatlady68]

These guys ROCKED the eighties

[djscotty1111]

I had forgotten this track classic! I think if my memory is accurate it does have a similar sound/ tempo to a 1978 song by > Arpeggio " love and desire".

[fery2]

@djscotty1111 I didn´t know the Arpeggio song, but I just hear it on youtube and you are right it has a similar rhythm, specially the start of the song (to some extent)

[tadge72]

bloody magic. great memories of the school disco with this one!

[vickozoomba]

I used to have the 12" of this until it was stolen along with a load of other fab 12"s :(

[mayangod1isback]

Simple Minds are the Kinds of the Hills. Mayangod1isback said that!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cullyvan]

wonder who got the job of hitting the cowbell ?! Still love this,

[deanster57]

i love this song-tori

[Cubanheaven]

I can't believe how many famous records I found surfing U-Tube today. People really don't know how famous and important "I Travel" by simple minds really was, and also what a big influence it had in the club scene. You either know or u don't know, and trust me I know cus I lived it!!!!

[piedrada]

This song was a part of all the underground dance clubs in Toronto in 1981 ... the sound is so typical of many of those songs you associate with dance clubs which introduced may of us to the UK electronic dance sounds of SM and many more!

[chuggerboom1]

Awesome

[faddy24]

'jangenk:- you are not wrong there!

[jangenk]

5-star, there's nothing better than early 80's uk experimental new wave

[someblokecalledchris]

hi still got this on record ...just brill .southampton...but somescottishbloke.

[khorrumg]

@jangenk Experimental New Wave????? What the F**K.....They were at the forefront of the Futurist sound along with Gaz Numan, Foxx, Ultravox, Cabaret Voltaire, Dmode etc....obviously a later 'convert' to this genre though you dont actually know what it was all about. By the way Futurism was an artistic movement from Fascist Italy which was a convenient label given by the musiv press...most of the bands had a similar kind of look....art-school types

[mayangod1isback]

My mind is traveling all around the globe wishing all mothers a Happy Mother's Day today 5/10/09. Greetings from LA. CA. USA.....
