The 1985 Listening Post - Thompson Twins - Here's to Future Days

Thompson Twins - Here's to Future Days

#344/980
September 16 1985
Thompson Twins
Here’s to Future Days
Genre: SynthPop
3.5 out of 5 

Highlights:
Lay Your Hands On Me


I’ve heard Thompson Twins before and the most remarkable thing about them is that, once you’ve heard one Thompson Twins record, you absolutely have no need to hear another one. 
When the best track is the uninspired cover of The Beatles “Revolution” you’ve lost me. 
Ok. Maybe that’s not totally fair. It’s not horrible, it’s fine in the background, doing nothing, just being there. Maybe that’s what this is really for. I don’t know. I’m tired of SynthPop.
