Thompson Twins

[Rhythm Thief]

My girlfriend cleared her stuff out of the loft at her parents' house yesterday. In the boxes was a Thompson Twins cassette. She's playing it now. I haven't heard them since I was at school and it's transported me back about 25 years just like that! Anyone else remember them? Not a bad band, actually.

I have the album on CD. Heard it for the first time in years a month or so ago. Pretty top stuff.

*sings*
Oh Doctor, Doctor,
Can't you see I'm burning, burning...

 

[simonali]

Was it called Into The Gap?

Think I had that on cassette once upon a time.

 

[Muddyfox]

I've got their greatest hits album somewhere ?

Simon

I am now listening to the 12" mix of Love On Your Side!

...as soon as I saw the thread title thats the first thing that came to me....

Are you drunk sir ? The TT singles were truly awful

Ah, this has prompted another '80s trawl on YouTube! Love on your side, Sisters of Mercy, it's all there.

Depeche Mode bring back some old memories too.

i've been trying to source the album Quickstep and Sidekick but can't find it anywhere in digital format.

I did the same on Friday night. Started off on Depeche Mode and went onto various other Vince Clark collaborations. He is a very talented pop songwriter.

Thomson twins were rubbish though

You're in luck, it's being re-released in a few weeks!

I had an '80s session at the gym this morning.

Simple Minds - New Gold Dream
Japan
Tears for Fears - The Hurting

I was in that kind of mood today.

Just strayed into the early '90s and rediscovered the KLF! ('Also known as the justified ancients of mu'- WTF?)
