I found cd copies of "Big Trash" & "Queer" by Thompson Twins on AMazon. I'm not familiar with these two cd's. Anyone recommend these?

"Queer" has a bit of a techno sound to it, but it's actually a pretty decent album (I liked it better than "Close to the Bone"). I had heard that "Big Trash" was the Thompson Twins getting back to their "noisier" sound, but it sure didn't sound like it to me. I believe Debbie Harry is on one of the tracks, but it didn't help to save it. I would get "Big Trash" if you're a completist, but you're really not missing much without it.

Just my opinions, of course. [:)]

I second your opinion Big Trash and Queer are not very good albums. IMO, the only acceptable track in Big Trash is Bombers In The Sky but well Queer sells for $0.01 on Amazon, it's a big incentive.[:D]
