Complete your Thompson Twins collection. Next we have the album itself,which sounds excellent even by todays standards. This excellent set also includes for the very first time the 'Special Cassette Remixes' and a further seven 12" mixes plus B-sides. This album is a testament to just how important the Thompson Twins were to the 80& sound and style of the time. The quality of this reissue sets new high standards,lets hope they are followed through to other releases which come under the same title of & Albums& the future. Rispondi Avvertimi 1 Helpful.

Thompson Twins' atmospheric and moody 1984 album Into the Gap was their commercial breakthrough in the United States, and remains a classic as far as '80s new wave pop is concerned. Nearly every song on this set differed from the others, with each track taking the listener on a different musical journey. The song that cemented Thompson Twins as a presence on American Top 40 radio was their earnest ballad (and biggest hit) "Hold Me Now," which years later still sounded as fresh and innocent as when it was first released
