Out of all the bands making a comeback, the last we expected to see were that sibling confused combo, the Thompson Twins, who began as septuplets but gradually dwindled down to triplets before finally re-emerging as actual twins.
With hits in the eighties such as Doctor, Doctor and Hold Me Now about to be remixed into trance versions, we asked why the same privilege wasn't being extended to ultra pop classic, We Are Detective.
"Completely out of the question," stated ex-roadie, ex congo player Joe Leeway, who resisted the urge to rejoin the band, preferring to remain Keeper of the Shrine to Paul McCartney on the Mull of Kintyre. "That is an autobiographical account of our lives in the Metropolitan Police and I wasn't going to have it trivialised." He stared wistfully into space. "They were the best years of my life, back in the day: Smoking by the newspaper stand; checking for footprints round the garden tree; and the dressing up. Oh, the dressing up - only for disguise purposes you understand ..." he added quickly.

Hello,
Okay, I admit it, I have an album by the legendary Thompson Twins. It is titled 'Into the Gap'.
Apparently this album was the inspiration for the London Underground' to start using the slogan 'Mind the gap'. Which was a much better idea than the title of the album.
Must go now. For like the title of a Thompson Twins song, which happens to be from Into the Gap, there is 'No Peace for the Wicked'.
'Sister of Mercy', where are you?
Take care and thanks for another entertaining story.
Kind wishes klahanie aka Gary aka confused:-)
