@preving that it came out in '81 is irrelevant. music is good or it isn't. Mozart is hundreds of years old, as is Beethoven. This track is superb whether 1981 or 2001. Music was just as creative, arguably more so, back then as now. That it is repetitive is equally irrelevant. As you say it is supposed to be. it is great.

Simple Minds' "Them For Great Cities" is a beautiful, timeless piece of sonic art. Being a "turntablist" what inspires me most about a song is the pace of the drums. Kudos to Brian McGee, his drumming was in the pocket. Charles Burchill on guitars is phenomenal. His playing cuts through so sharp. Basses, Derek Forbes & Keyboard player, Michael MacNeil lay the icing. Playing "Themes..." once just isn't enough for me. On that note "play it again Sam..."

Thank you Simple Minds!

Timeless classic, can't think of a Simple Minds tune I like more than this. Brilliant energy, great dance tune and just as good to chill out to.

Я только сейчас узнал об этом треке. Отличая вещь!

Фанател тут от Raven Maize - Real Life, и случайно узнал исходные источники.

Не зря день прожит сегодня! Супер!

@preving My fave as well. I'm long enough in the tooth myself preving and it always brings a smile to my face when I read kids write about a song being "good for the '80s" as if we weren't able to tie our shoelaces back then. EG rock still hasn't and cannot improve on The Who and Led Zep 40 years ago. Most if notall music now is a copy of something between 1965 and 1982.

@tigerarmyrule That is my favorite song from Simple Minds and they are my favorite group. I've talked to Mick McNeil, the keyboardist and he agrees with me that Simple Minds were amazing between 1977-1982. I'm 40 years old and I went through the 80's generation so I know what music should sound like. It was waaay more creative back then as opposed to now...

@sorryibrokethetrees that's why they call it TRANCE music. Also remember that this came out in 1981.....

@SkateDice69 Oh jesus, it's the same rythm for 6 minutes...and nothing special for a rythm...
