Stunning rhythmic elasticisty between the drums, bass and keyboard. Not metronomic or drum machine like or sequencer like. Like something in a Steve Reich piece, when an phasing pulse emerges from the interaction of instruments. Something quite amazing happens just after the “...all along the way” line in the bridges. Very cleaver rhythmic shift; I think Mel drops the drum back half a beat from the bass for a bar or two, everyone speeds up just a bit, and then the drums slowly drift back by the end of the chorus. Happens at every chorus so it’s not a mistake. The effect is like down shifting a car when already racing: engine rpm slows but increases power output. Then layer in the guitar riff...the effect is Like a shot of sonic adrenaline to the heart. Unbelievable musicianship and feeling. New gold dream is a masterpiece song in a masterpiece album. Like OMDs Architecture and morality, such an apotheosis can make it hard to find a way forward. OMD went one way into further experimentation. with Dazzle Ships and had a commercial flop that in hindsight had become understood as brilliant and the seed for many other bands. Simple minds’ demos for Sparkle and Smedt of the remixes indicate they could have gone with even greater rhythmic interplay between all the Instruments and experimentation. Alas, perhaps in part due to Lillywhite’s production it became far more conventional, drum and guitar forward, rhythm biting under melody instead of the melody emerging from it.While this served the U2s less than virtuoso musicianship well, it smothered the textures of Simple minds playing and composing, replacing power with bombast. Lanois and Eno can be understood to have brought a rhythmic complexity and atmospherics to U2 beginning with Unforgettable Fire (an album U2 has stated was forged by a desire to create something approaching New Gold Dream’s achievement).
