Thompson Twins releasing new career-spanning collection

Thompson Twins are looking back at their career with a new release.

Industry & Seduction, dropping Oct. 31, is described as “the definitive career-spanning collection” from the group, best known for such songs as “Hold Me Now,” “Lay Your Hands on Me” and “Doctor Doctor!”

The set is the first compilation the band, now made up of Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie, has curated themselves. It will be released in a variety of formats, including two-LP colored vinyl and single CD, both of which feature 20 of the band’s singles, all remastered.

There will also be a three-CD deluxe version with 40 tracks, made up of deep cuts, rarities and more, including songs from Bailey and Currie’s 1990s electronic dance music group, Babble. It also includes the first CD release of the live album Into the Gap Live.

“It’s exciting to finally have a retrospective from beginning to end,” says Currie.

“People want the hits, but on a three-CD package, it’s nice to also have the weird stuff and a live disc,” adds Bailey. “I think everyone will be happy.”

As a preview, Thompson Twins have released a 2025 remaster of the song “Roll Over,” a track that only appeared on the U.S. version of their 1985 album, Here’s To Future Days.

Industry & Seduction: A Thompson Twins Collection is available for preorder now.
