  • Sparkle in the Rain är ett Simple Minds-album, inspelat hösten 1983 och utgivet 1984.Det är producerat av Steve Lillywhite och utgivet av Virgin Records. Albumet blev en stor framgång. Det gick direkt in på 1:a plats på brittiska albumlistan. Det blev även etta i Nya Zeeland och nådde topp 20-placeringar i ett flertal länder. På Sverigetopplistan blev det en 2:a plats. Sparkle in the Rain har beskrivits som en övergång från gruppens tidiga postpunk-stil och den storslagna syntpopen på det föregående albumet New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) till en mindre subtil arenarock i stil med U2. Från albumet släpptes Waterfront, Speed Your Love to Me och Up on the Catwalk som singlar. Albumet följdes av en världsturné 1984 i Australien, Nya Zeeland, USA, Kanada, Japan och Europa. På turnén besökte Simple Minds Johanneshovs Isstadion i Stockholm 24 mars och Göteborgs Konserthus dagen efter. (sv)

  • "Sparkle in the Rain is supposed to be when the rot set in: a regressive step back from pop to stadium rock. But the ambient bombast of "Waterfront" is actually pretty magnificent in a Jim Morrison sort of way. And "Up on the Catwalk" is probably Simple Minds' most underrated single, their last bout of topsy-turviness and abstract euphoria, before the descent into facile transcendentalism and blunt, unwarranted affirmation ."
