Simple Minds - Neapolis (Chrysalis) Finally the time for change has arrived for Simple Minds. Leaving Virgin - their home for more than a decade and a half - also brought forth a departure from their previous sound, that infamous forte in stadium-arousing anthems.

Neapolis merges electronic influences with their familiar rousing atmospherics. Glitterball could well be their Discotheque, and titles and treatments like Killing Andy Warhol and Androgyny - an instrumental reminiscent of their early days - showed their desire for a change away from seriousness.

Elements of their old habits remain - even under disguise of being dance-tinged, Song for the Tribes and War Babies could have come straight out of their socio-conscience rockers phase, while Lightning stomps just like Waterfront, and much of their '80s fodder.
