Have A Good Day

Into the Gap by Thompson Twins was the first album I bought myself in a record store. A friend who already had a record collection recommended some titles to me. I chose Thompson Twins because I knew their hits, and there was a woman in the band (which was rare in the 80s). I didn’t like the album much back then.

While I loved synth-pop, “Into The Gap” was too upbeat and whimsical for my taste. Today, I would give it more credit for its intricate production, including Alannah Currie’s creative use of percussion.
