After getting my record player working, I went out and bought a bunch of
old 80's pop vinyl. I got an autographed Wang Chung record for $.99.
That's totally irrelevant, I guess, but I like to tell people because it
makes me feel like a real badass.
Anyway, I found an old Thompson Twins album ("Side Kicks" or "Quick Step &
Side Kick" depending on the version) for $.49 so I thought, "hey, I've
heard of them.. I may as well give it a try." The album is absolutely
fucking great. It ranks right up there with A-ha's "Hunting High And Low"
as far as 80's pop records go. After poking around the web for a while, I
found out that they (plus some other guy) reformed in the early 90's
calling themselves Babble doing "tribal, trance-ambient" music. Does
anyone know anything about this? Is it any good?
