2018 release from the veteran Scottish rockers. Walk Between Worlds is Simple Minds' first album of new material since 2014's Big Music. The album was produced by Simple Minds with Andy Wright and Gavin Goldberg, both of whom worked on Big Music. With it's eight tracks rocketing past in 42 minutes, it is a relatively concise affair. It is also an album of two distinct sides, very much the old-school album format that singer Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill grew up with as music fans. Side One tracks such as "Summer" and "The Signal And The Noise" revisit the glassy guitars and new wave dance grooves of the post-punk era and the second half explores more cinematic sounds, with the title track and "Barrowland Star" both featuring dramatic orchestrations recorded at Abbey Road., Acoustic Guitar: Gordon Goudie, Arranged By [Strings]: Peter John Vettese, Arranged By [Strings], Conductor: Sam Swallow, Art Direction, Design: Stuart Crouch Creative, Backing Vocals: Catherine A.D., Backing Vocals [Additional]: Emily Parker (2), Backing Vocals [Additional]: Hatty Parker, Backing Vocals [Additional]: Roachie, Cover [Image]: Heitor Magno, Drums [Additional], Percussion [Additional]: Cherisse Osei, Drums, Percussion: Mel Gaynor, Electric Bass: Ged Grimes, Guitar, Keyboards, Programmed By: Charlie Burchill, Keyboards: Owen Parker, Lead Vocals: Jim Kerr, Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals: Sarah Brown, Leader [Orchestra]: Everton Nelson, Mastered By: Jean-Pierre Chalbos, Mixed By [Assistant], Recorded By [Assistant]: Lewis Chapman, Orchestra [Fixed By]: Isobel Griffiths, Orchestrated By, Conductor: Jim McWilliam, Photography By: Dean Chalkley, Piano: Peter John Vettese, Producer: Simple Minds, Producer, Programmed By, Backing Vocals [Additional]: Andy Wright, Producer, Recorded By, Mixed By, Programmed By, Backing Vocals [Additional]: Gavin Goldberg, Recorded By [Assistant]: Kevin Burleigh, Recorded By [Assistant]: Ronan Fay, Written-By: Charlie Burchill, Written-By: Jim Kerr, Written-By: Owen Parker, Labelcode BGRT34967.2 (4050538349672), Phonographic Copyright (p) BMG Rights Management (UK) Limited, Copyright (c) BMG Rights Management (UK) Limited, Recorded At Southwest Studios, Recorded At Gorbals Sound, Recorded At Plato Studios, Recorded At Abbey Road Studios, Mastered At La Source Mastering
