Description
Release Date Friday 31st October 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
The definitive career-spanning collection: from post-punk beginnings to stadium-sized synth-pop and beyond.
Industry & Seduction is the first ever Thompson Twins retrospective to be curated in collaboration with band members Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, and Joe Leeway. Bringing together music from across their groundbreaking career, this collection captures the full evolution of one of the most adventurous and inventive pop acts of the 1980s, and includes music from their later, critically overlooked Babble project.
From early experimental cuts and underground curios to global hits like “Hold Me Now”, “Love On Your Side”, “Doctor! Doctor!”, and “We Are Detective”, the collection shines a light on the band’s constant reinvention, from art-school chaos to pristine pop, dub-influenced dance to dreamy, post-rave soundscapes. It’s a bold, brilliant musical journey built on contrast: digital edge meets emotional pull — Industry and Seduction.
Available in multiple formats: 2LP and 1CD formats include 20 of the band’s biggest and best-loved singles, all newly remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright.
3CD deluxe edition features a 40-track anthology with hits, deep cuts, rarities, key Babble tracks, and the first ever CD release of Into The Gap Live, capturing the band at their commercial and theatrical peak.
Packaged with stunning new artwork directed by Alannah Currie, plus extensive liner notes based on new interviews with Currie and Bailey.
An essential celebration of one of pop’s most distinctive voices — as provocative as they were playful, as experimental as they were accessible.
