Good News From The Next World

About

Good News from the Next World is the tenth studio album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds, released in January 1995 by record label Virgin. The album's recording started in the band's own studio in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1993, and finished in Los Angeles, US, in summer 1994. Singer Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill – the only two members remaining in the band – wrote all nine tracks on the album. They were joined by a number of guest musicians for recording sessions. Keith Forsey, who had previously worked with Simple Minds on their breakout single "Don't You (Forget About Me)", shares producing credits with the band. The lead single from the album, "She's a River", was released in January 1995 to international commercial success, and the album performed somewhat better than their previous record, Real Life (1991), in some markets, but it quickly faded from public attention, producing only two moderately successful hit singles.
