S.o.t.D. - Love Song – Simple Minds

Love Song – Simple Minds

Still a killer track all these many years later. I only found out recently that Steve Hillage was the producer on this. Wouldn’t have meant anything to me 30 years ago, but now I can totally see his influence.

There are quite a few acts from that era, that had a few great albums initially and then ended up heading in a direction that caused me to lose interest. Human League, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Simple Minds. Always liked this track a lot. Then they started doing soundtracks for John Hughes movies.

Third time I’ve featured a track from these two guys. Some more pulsating, bassy grooves.

Jupiter! – System 7

A kick ass, driving track, which rather surprised me a little when it came out in 1994, was a product of 70’s prog-rock guitarist Steve Hillage. He very nicely dovetailed guitars with techno. And boy, does it work!

His recent collaborations with Bluetech’s Evan Marc are spectacular as well.
