For their fourth album in three years, Simple Minds signed on with Virgin and enlisted Gong's Steve Hillage as producer. The sessions continued the group's impressive run of high-quality output. The album bridges the art disco of ‘Empires and Dance’ with the pop masterpiece ‘New Gold Dream’. The record has many moments of brilliance, like the exquisitely detailed ‘70 Cities As Love Brings the Fall’ (a great balance between grand melodies and bizarre noise), the insistently snaking ‘In Trance As Mission,’ and ‘Sweat in Bullet,’ which has sparkling keyboard parts and crafty guitar interplay. When Virgin re-issued ‘Sons And Fascination’ in 2003, the complete ‘Sister Feelings Call’ was tacked to the end.
