In the period 1979-1982 Simple Minds released no less than six albums, on which the band showed an almost esque development from glam / punk rock via European disco to the majestic synthpop of . This early artistic peak was followed by the commercial peak of the late 1980s, after which the great recycling actually began. Sometimes literally - one collector after another - sometimes almost, as with
… the 1991 Waterfront rip-off Traveling Man. Nevertheless, there has been a revaluation of the Glasgow band in recent years. Not in the least because of the original duo Jim Kerr / Charlie Burchill on (2014) finally showed some of the old enthusiasm. Fortunately, there is one again on this successor, although Walk Between Worlds does remind you of (1985). For example, the title track has clearly been next to Come A Long Way. It even gets a bit embarrassing when 'soulful' session singers use the chorus of Sense Of Discovery and you want to sing along with Alive And Kicking. But otherwise this is yet another enjoyable album from a band that was long written off. (RME)more
