Isn't the word Pond?

@wikeeboynow I am thinking it's a homemade tshirt with an extremely esoteric meaning, even more so than a pisstake of Neil Young's ill-fated DAP

As much as I love early SM, I never really put them in the electronica genre. New Wave perhaps, which did incorporate electronic instruments. But New Wave was more of an evolution of Punk. Anyway, great songs and a great band, that unfortunately IMHO went sh*t a few years after making all this amazing stuff.

disagree,

youre genre-alising the band, im looking at each individual piece of music, if they did a cover of Rhinestone Cowboy, that would then be classed under Country and Western

 

here is another one

try telling me that doesnt sound like Kraftwerk ...

brilliant electronic genre

 

 

Genre-alising?

I was around when the New Wave hit. I bought my first album, Gary Numan (which was New Wave) in 1980. I am not pigeon holing them into a genre. Genres are useful ways to understand a style of music, it's context and what the artist was trying to say. Early Simple Minds were formed from ex-members of Punk Bands. It was post punk music that incorporated elements of electronic instruments which most people recognise as New Wave. They subsequently moved into "New Romantics" with their later albums and have not slid into god knows what with their newer works.

Real to Real Cacophony[edit]

Simple Minds' second release, Real to Real Cacophony was a significant departure from the pop tunes of Life in a Day. The album had a darker and far more experimental atmosphere, announcing some of the new wave experimentation that became the band’s trademark sound over the next two albums'

youre doing it again, you are making the mistake of genre-alising a band instead of just listening to each individual piece of music

your quoted Real To Real Cacophony is the album and of course it contains a plethora of textures and synthesis not least of which is the electronic track titled Real To Real ... as posted above.

you cant deny that your whole narrative consists of genres and pidgeon holing and associating (as best you can) to known terms and preconceived ideas... this isnt about that, this is about closing your eyes and opening your mind, forget the band, forget what they also record, and listen to the actual tracks i listed

 

sorry dude, you are totally wrong

 

 

 

Fu*k me, you're right. I've been living a close minded lie! Thanks for removing scales from me eyes!

I'm going to guess that you were born in the 90's. I was born in 1969. So I was quite cognisant of music and such when this album and other albums of this genre were released.

I am not the only one embroiled in this close-minded narrative though:
