Subject: SS-Sound familiar?
Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 20:21:27 +0200

There is a reason this is called Life in Minds. The melody (the string synth sound) is 
from the Simple Minds song Theme for Great Cities released in about 1982.

An easy one to spot since this is my favourite Simple Minds track, and thereby blowing 
any illusion to my good taste or youth.

The resemblance to SS is in my opinion much harder to hear. To my ears it just screems 
Simple Minds.

There is a link of course to SS: The track Simple on New Dark Times is also based on 
Simple Minds tracks from the same period. That this track should appear on NDT, rather 
than a normal commercial release, must be in no small measure to the copyright 
concerns with that track.

For everyone who has an audio-enhanced computer, give this 1-minute 
realaudio file a listen.  It's one of Satellite Record's new 12 inch trance 
releases.  It's by Life on Mars, and is titled "Life in Minds," and is on 
Quad Communications.  I don't know any significance that this may have as 
far as Sunscreem is concerned, but see if you can identify what well-known 
track this borrows from.  I won't give it away, because this might serve as 
an ideal method to see who the hardcore SS fans are. ;) 
Peace, 
Vince
