Yeah, Peter Gabriel sings on one song on "Reconciled," the Call's new album,
Jim Kerr, the lead singer for Simple Minds, sings on two songs, including
the one Gabriel sings on.  Michael Been of The Call sung on Simple Minds'
last album, as well.  For those of you who have to talk about how horrible
Simple Minds is based on hearing "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and "Alive
and Kicking," you need to get educated.  Their early music was fantastic,
and their last three albums, although a major change in style, are great
as well.  In fact, "New Gold Dream ('81-'82-'83-'84)" is my favorite Simple
Minds album ever.  You've probably heard "Promised You a Miricle" from that
album.  Well, the rest of the album is nothing like that, not that PYaM is
such a bad song itself.
