 Rating:  - a step back..or a step forward!the third album failed to capatolise on the success of "into the gap"..but then it is one of the best albums of the 80's the first actual release "lay your hands on me" is here..and athough not regraded as a tt classic i would beg to differ! the album was preluded by another single "don't mess with doctor dream" which stop a step back to the quick step album....a clever song with its anti drugs message..but by now a lot of us wanted more angst love songs delivered to an electro beat along the way you get some songs worth of "into the gap" like "future days" "you killed the clown" and "emporer's new clothes" but a the other album tracks dont match the quality! two more singles were released ... Read More: Rating:  - The Future RevisitedNext to the breakthrough dance-pop of 1983's Quickstep & Sidekick, and the imperious perfect pop of Into The Gap a year later, this record felt uneven and decidedly leaden upon release in 1985. Now, as part of Edsel's generally superb deluxe editions of the mid-period TT catalogue, comes a chance to re-evaluate the album which saw the band's commercial fortunes take a sharp dip in the UK. Some things haven't changed; the remixed/re-recorded versions of the Top 20 singles Lay Your Hands On Me and Don't Mess With Doctor Dream are still inferior to their 7" counterparts, and the segue between the latter and former sounds no less clumsy than it ever did. Tokyo, meanwhile, always felt like a poor Quickstep-era B-side and betrayed ... Read More: Rating: - Change of pace, change of directionThe Thompson Twins were going from strength to strength with first 'Side Kicks', 'Into the Gap' and then 'Here's to Future Days'. The Gap was a huge album and no matter what the group where to come up with it was never going to be easy. Lay Your Hands On Me was the first single to be released and was fanatstic, although not a huge hit, followed by, I think, Don't Mess With Doctor Dream and King For One Day, both should have been huge hits. It's great to see all the re-releases have been relatively 'untouched' and released as they were originally by Arista, including the extended remixes which could only be found on the cassette format at the time. What I would really like to see are the first two albums released on CD when the Thompson ... Read More: Rating: - The Thompson Twins Are Dead, Long Live The Thompson TwinsFor me, "Here's To Future Days" marked the end of the Twins' golden period. It was an album that showed their midas touch was wearing off a little. What we do get are two cracking singles "King For A Day" and "Lay Your Hands On Me", but we don't get the superb albums tracks that we'd seen previously, "Day After Day", for example. We're also "treated" to an absolutely dreadful version of "Revolution". As with the two previous releases - "Quick Step" and "Into The Gap" - we get a raft of extra tracks that first appeared on the cassette versions of these albums back in the day. These more than make up for the albums' shortcomings. Believe it or not I am a huge TT fan, I just feel that out of the trio of classic ... Read More: Rating: - A PASSABLE ALBUM OF A FADING BAND.As much as it pains me to say , this isn't a very good effort by Tom and Allanah still at this time with Joe leeway and there new producer. Released in 1985 this album produced by the music legend Nile Rodgers fails to bring back the glory days. It's a hotch potch of sounds that are neither synth/pop or rock in a time when Music changed. Tom bailey struggles with the lyrics to try to change the sound and tempo of the Twins. The only tracks that have a hint of 'Into the Gap ' are , King for a day , Lay your hands on me , Emporors clothes and Doctor Dream. 'Doctor Dream' was an effort to bring the drug culture to the fore and there political stance. But after years of cultivating there 'POP' trio sound this utterly fails and sounds odd. 'Revolution' is another ... Read More: |
