Following up on the surprise success of the
"Love on Your Side"
single, the reconstituted
Thompson Twins
quickly regrouped to create an album to capitalize on their new, more direct sound.
Quick Step & Side Kick
is the
Thompson Twins
' most fully realized work, with a trio of dance-
rock
classics --
"Love Lies Bleeding,"
"Love on Your Side,"
and the big U.S. chart hit
"Lies"
-- that all hew close to the synth-bass-and-Latin-percussion groove of
"In the Name of Love."
Interestingly, however, the trio also branches out to explore a variety of sonic moods, most of them considerably darker than their cartoonish new look -- lead singer
Tom Bailey
now sported a waist-length red ponytail, and percussionist
Alannah Currie
had a mohawk and no eyebrows -- would suggest. The highlights of these were the simply gorgeous, ghostly
ballad
"If You Were Here"
and yet another elegy for the late
Judy Garland
, the bitter
"Judy Do."
Although the follow-up
Into the Gap
was an even bigger chart success,
Quick Step & Side Kick
is the better, more consistent album.
The somewhat delayed U.S. release of
Quick Step & Side Kick
shortened the nonsensical title to
Side Kicks
and scrambled the running order to some ill effect, pulling all of the dance-oriented material on side one and all of the more atmospheric,
experimental
songs on side two. This version of the album was eventually supplanted by a CD release that retained the title and superior sequencing of the original U.K. issue. [
