## Resource

Recently, Thompson Twins released the set called Industry & Seduction, a career-spanning collection from the band’s early days as a post-punk band to their '80s global hitmakers with huge songs like "Hold Me Now" and others. The set covers every era of band members Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie’s music, including the electronic experimentation of their 1990s group called Babble. Bailey not only talks to us about this newly remastered deluxe set (in 3-CD or 2-LP), but also about his entire career — and if there will be a reunion of the core Twins — Alannah Currie, Joe Leeway and himself.
