So very difficult to choose one of them. I love the sound and the way the keyboards are played in Doctor, as in many of the others. TT seemed to play synths differently and in some sense there is an aura or "orchestralness" about the playing. The haunting of Kamikaze is amazing, and what about Judy Do, Lies, Sister of Mercy, Day After Day. Just too many.
Difficult, from the new album shooting star, science fiction, feels like love- from the twins-I love tears-in the name of love-passion planet-king for a day-hold me now-sister of mercy- Tokyo-emperors clothes-doctor dream-lay-your hands on me-follow your heart-perfect day-the gap-doctor doctor-day after-day-sugar daddy- bombers in-the sky-roll over-another fantasy-Salvador darlis car
I am quite particular not to listen to "pop"..but the Twins music really is nice and hits me in a special way. I got into them in the late 90's..and just recently picked them up again. What a time!!! Tom is right on! I like the way he thinks!
THEY ARE NOT WORLD PARTY THE WATERBOYS TALK TALK THE FIXX OR THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS BUT THEY ARE GOOD TRIO LOVE THEM VERY MUCH SPECIALLY THE SONG LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME!
Interesting interview. Bailey has sold out now, playing his old hits to twig the memories of people who were young in 1982. Can't blame him, I guess, but I wish he could write top-rate new stuff.
What is your favourite Thompson Twins / Tom Bailey song?
"Love Lies Fierce" got me hooked.
The Doctor ...of course.
Lay Your Hands on Me. It's been one of my top favorite songs for thirty + years.

I loved Thompson Twins back in the day.

Superb interview. Loved the inner-diva and jumping up on the kitchen table bits!
Thank you Ian!
