blood diamonds remix: information

  • Blood Diamonds had already been released as a single in August 2013; and this remix followed two months later.

  • "I loved Simple Minds from the first moment I heard them because they were a slightly younger generation who had taken up drum machines and synthesisers. And they were unique. The way Jim Kerr plays with words and titles makes him the best internal movie director I've ever come across. With the remix, Benge and I went for deep beep, bleep creep and stun drum with me on backing vox. It was gleeful and glittering and glamorous. Transgression never sounded sweeter." - John Foxx.

  • This Blood Diamonds remix was released across the Internet as a digital-only freebie on the same day Simple Minds took to the stage to celebrate Virgin Records' 40 Years Of Disruptions.

  • The remix was additionally poignant given that Ultravox - John Foxx was the original vocalist - were going to be supporting Simple Minds for their arena dates across Europe in the autumn of 2013.
