BabbleCountry of origin:England Type of music generally:Mainstream pop Status:Most recent release, Ether (1996) See also:Wikipedia's page for Thompson Twins has some info Comparisons:Like their former band, Thompson Twins Covers/own material:Own General commentsPrimarily two ex Thompson Twins renaming themselves for the '90s. (For those who remember the 1980s lineup, the two in question are Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie.) (nkg@vcn.bc.ca) Recordings include:The StoneRelease info:1993 Comments:The Stone had one really great song on it ("Beautiful"), one tolerable one (can't remember its title), and a whole lot of wasted space. (lissener@wwa.com) EtherRelease info:1996 Comments:It's pleasant enough to listen to, though not immensely challenging. Starts out with some nifty non-Western instrumentation, but then settles down into a low-key non-threatening somewhat ambient (tons of digital reverb anyway) pop mode. The sort of music I'll happily do dishes to, but I probably wouldn't sit down and actually *listen* intently to it. (nkg@vcn.bc.ca) |
