The Thompson Twins who were neither a duo nor related, but simply named after the Tin Tin cartoon were one of the more popular synth-pop groups of the early MTV era, scoring a handful of hits before fading away into lite-funk obscurity. While many of their contemporaries indulged in stylish variations on Roxy Music or robotic electronic funk, the Thompson Twins were more pop-oriented, even when they strayed into dance-pop. Despite their success — “Hold Me Now,” “Lay Your Hands on Me,” “King for a Day” all reached the U.S. Top Ten — the group was unable to successfully expand their synth-pop sound and, consequently, their audience had virtually disappeared by the late ’80s.

By the time the Thompson Twins recorded Close to the Bone, they were reduced to the duo of Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie, and they had abandoned new wave synth-pop for light funk-inflected dance-pop. Most of Close to the Bone is too sterile and predictable to be truly enjoyable, yet there are a handful of tracks that serve as a reminder that the group can turn out well-constructed and catchy pop songs when they choose.
