<br>Thanks thomas. I have heard very little by the Twins, and was curious to hear more.[/quote]I would highly recommend <I>Modern Lifestyle[/i] by The Twins. This is a great early synthpop album in the vein of Gary Numan, OMD, and early Depeche Mode (The Twins themselves acknowledge them as their influences).

We in America missed out on The Twins for the most part. Their later more well known singles are more in the dance-oriented Disco Pop style and are often discounted as such by New Wave purists. What they are missing is a great vintage New Wave synthpop album.

Here's another taste (an album cut from <I>Modern Lifestyle[/i]): <a href="http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=08DJCZQ3YX20C2CW4MUI8JDJ51" target="blank">The Twins - I'm Staying Alive</a>

By the way, all of The Twins albums have recently been remastered on CD by the duo. I know <a href="http://www.adifferentdrum.com/" target="blank">A Different Drum</a> carries them.
