Na dana\u0161nji je dan, 21. listopada 1985. godine objavljen legendarni album “Once Upon a Time” (Virgin) \u0161kotske grupe Simple Minds. Prethodni album, “Sparkle in the Rain”, predstavljao je bend u rokerskijem izdanju i pribli\u017eio ga \u0161iroj publici sklonijoj \u010dvr\u0161\u0107im i konkretnim zvucima. Ubrzo nakon objave tog albuma, u prolje\u0107e 1984., pjeva\u010d Jim Kerr stupa u brak s Chrissie Hynde iz skupine The Pretenders. Iste godine objavljuju i simpati\u010dan, ali potpuno neprimije\u0107en singl “Dancing in the Rain”.<\/p>\n
U zimu 1984. godine grupa U2 u suradnji s Brianom Enom realizira album “Unforgettable Fire”, kao i hit-singl “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, \u0161to \u0107e se direktno odraziti na sljede\u0107i album grupe Simple Minds. Prvo \u0107e objaviti plesni rock<\/em>-singl “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” snimljen za film “Breakfast Club” (prolje\u0107e 1985.), koji bez problema zauzima prva mjesta top-liste singlova i u Americi i u Velikoj Britaniji te postaje njihov najve\u0107i hit u karijeri. Ujedno i klju\u010dni trenutak kada sastav napu\u0161ta dotada\u0161nje elektroni\u010dke, ambijentalne, istra\u017eiva\u010dke i eksperimentalne metode prepu\u0161taju\u0107i se isklju\u010divo komercijalnim obrascima, isti\u010de kolega Horvi s portala Terapija.net.<\/p>\n Singl postaje njihovim za\u0161titnim znakom, vrti se u diskotekama i postaje jednim od najtipi\u010dnijih dance-rock<\/em> singlova osamdesetih. Istovremeno nakon singla odlazi basist Derek Forbes (koji \u0107e se u bend vratiti za potrebe snimanja albuma “Neapolis” 1998.). Njegovo mjesto zauzima John Gibblin, povremeni suradnik Petera Gabriela. Bend trijumfalno nastupa i na stadionu JFK u Philadelphiji na Live Aidu, gdje izvodi tri skladbe, “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”, “Ghostdancing” i “Promised You a Miracle”. U jesen iste godine objavljuju album “Once Upon a Time”, koji je donio jo\u0161 jedan veliki hit, “Alive and Kicking”, kojim su samo potvrdili komercijalni status napu\u0161taju\u0107i sve dotada\u0161nje finese i obilje\u017eja vlastitog rada.<\/p>\n Album sadr\u017eava osam skladbi koje su pro\u017eete komercijalnim aran\u017emanima sastavljenima od gitaristi\u010dkih fraza U2, Bonovih pokli\u010da, Bowiejevih ritmova s albuma “Let’s Dance”, komercijalnih shema sastava Duran Duran, grandioznih, goru\u0107ih tekstova koji nagla\u0161avaju Kerrovu tezu otprije dvije godine: “Vidim Simple Minds kao veliki bend s ogromnim kamionima, turnejama, zastavama i naljepnicama gdje god da se pojavimo.” Jo\u0161 tri velika hita, “All the Things She Said”, “Ghostdancing” i “Sanctify Yourself”, nesmiljeno su harala svjetskim top-listama do prolje\u0107a 1986. omogu\u0107iv\u0161i albumu milijunsku tira\u017eu. Rasko\u0161nu produkciju potpisuju Bob Clearmountain i Jimmy Iovine.<\/p>\n Popis pjesama: 1. Once Upon a Time | 2. All the Things She Said | 3. Ghost Dancing | 4. Alive and Kicking | 5.
