"We've borrowed the dramatic image on the cover of this month's Electronic

Sound from the new Simple Minds album and we're issuing a terrific magenta vinyl

seven-inch by the acclaimed Scottish group – with their 1980 classic 'I Travel' on

the A-side – to accompany the magazine.

The recently released ‘Direction Of The Heart’ sees Simple Minds returning to

their art rock and electropop roots. We think it's probably their best album since

the 1980s, so we're delighted to talk to founding members Jim Kerr and Charlie

Burchill for our cover story. The pair describe ‘Direction Of The Heart’ as a “feel-

good record” and it’s certainly high on energy, packed with rolling waves of synths

and sharp guitar lines. As well as giving us the lowdown on this latest release, they

also talk about 40 years of 'New Gold Dream' and reflect on how they have stayed

friends for more than half a century. "We have a colossal fight every year or so,

with screaming and borderline violence," chuckles Kerr.  

Our other main articles this issue include the madcap tale of Joe Meek’s “tea chest

tapes” – around 2,000 individual 10-inch reels – a small number of which have

finally come to light after being hidden away for many decades. Elsewhere in the

magazine, we also have interviews with Warrington-Runcorn New Town

Development Plan, Lucrecia Dalt, Halina Rice and The Umlauts, while the one and

only Carl Cox reveals all in our regular Under The Influence feature. Carl's list

includes crate digging and drag racing – we're talking the Santa Pod kind, not the

RuPaul kind – and if that's not a great day out, then we don't know what is.

We have a fabulous magenta vinyl Simple Minds seven-inch to accompany the

magazine this month as well. The A-side is 'I Travel', the thrilling electronic track

that opened the band's 1980 breakthrough album 'Empires And Dance' and remains

a firm favourite of their live shows to this day. Flip the disc over for 'Planet Zero',

which is one of the many highlights of 'Direction Of The Heart'. “I think there's a

definite echo between ‘I Travel’ and ‘Planet Zero’," explains Charlie Burchill. "They

both have sequencers and quite heavy guitars. They could be bookends from one

period of time to another.”
