A Good Solid Effort.,

This review is from: Here's to Future Days (Audio CD)
For all the past reviewers of this cd who are looking for "Rollover"--well, guess what, I have a copy of the cd with "Rollover" on it. In 1989 I was working at a music store, and intuitively second-guessing the Arista records I went on a hunt for all the Thompson Twins albums on cd before they were discontinued in America. I easily obtained a copy of "Here's To Future Days" with "Rollover" on it, "Into The Gap" and "Close To The Bone". It was harder to find "Sidekicks" but eventually I found it too. The only American release that I could not find was "In The Name Of Love", which somewhere around 1992 I came across, on cd, as a cut out, but didn't buy it and haven't seen it since. "Here's To Future Days" was a slight set back from "Into The Gap" and "Sidekicks". It has some good songs like "Lay Your Hands On Me", "Here's To Future Days", "Rollover", "King For A Day" and "Emperor's Clothes". While not musically as superior as "Into The Gap" or "Sidekicks", "Here's To Future Days" is still worth owning for Twins fans. Nile Rodgers (of Chic) produced this album, giving it an unusual sound, more rock than other twins albums. He also produced David Bowie's "Let's Dance" in '83 and has produced many others too numerous to name. What I'd like to see is the BMG record company, home to Arista records, remaster and re-release all Thompson Twins catalog from 1981 to 1987, and Warner Brothers records do the same for "Big Trash", "Queer", "The Stone" and "Ether" 1989-1996. I think the Thompson Twins stand out from other 80's artists with their distinctive production choices and arrangements. They had a singular style that was different from other "synth bands".

This review is from: Heres to Future Days (Audio CD)
EVERY song on the CD is a keeper.The hooks,melodies,vocals,musicianship is phenomenal. An '80's masterpiece. I'm a pretty jaded musician and rarely listen to the '80's stuff anymore(except the guitar-driven stuff),but I ordered a copy through Amazon for giggles and grins. After listening to the CD on headphones,I was blown away by this album. This is the work of a true musical genuis and his cohorts in crime. Well worth the money.

A Classic,
By George (Atlantic City, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Here's to Future Days (Audio CD)
Although this album produced some of the Twins biggest hits, it is very under rated. People look back on the TT and always mention Sidekicks and Into the Gap as their faves. But this album is excellent. "Breakaway", "Rollover" and "Emperors Clothes" are three of the best Thompson Twins songs ever recorded.
Maybe the reason people over look this album is because of the trouble that surrounded this album-before it's release with Tom's breakdown and after it's release with Joe Leeway's departure from the band. If you missed out on Future Days before, here is your chance to get it. iT IS WORTH IT FOR THE B-SIDES AND RARITIES ALONE. I can only hope that the rest of their albums are remastered and re issued. Listening to this album makes me really miss this band. They were way ahead of their time. With all of their albums.
