	Thomson and Thompson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomson and Thompson (Dupond et Dupont) are a pair of detectives in Hergé's classic European comic strip The Adventures of Tintin.
		The detective with the flat mustache has described himself as "Thompson with a "P", as in..." and then used words with either a silent "P," or in which the "P" is combined with another letter, as to change the sound, such as Philadelphia, psychology and so on.
		Dupond and Dupont thus become Thomson and Thompson in English, Schultze and Schulze in German, Jansen and Janssen in Dutch, Hernández and Fernández in Spanish and 杜本 and 杜朋 (Dùběn, Dùpéng) in Chinese, Johnson and Ronson in Bengali and Skapti and Skafti in Icelandic.

	A Thompson Twins Biography
		The Thompson Twins were formed during 1977 in Sheffield, England by three old Grammar school friends Tom Bailey (bass), Pete Dodd (vocals/guitar) and John Roog (guitar).
		This emblem and image gave the Twins an identity - it was something that people would recognise; and it also made them appear to be fun and comical - they got rid of their serious, political image to concentrate on the music and the fun.
		So the Thompson Twins were finally laid to rest, although Tom and Alannah's inspiration and imagination lives on...

	Rolling Stone : Thompson Twins: In The Name Of Love : Music Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The curiously named Thompson Twins – in fact, a seven-piece rhythm posse – are closer in idea, if not execution, to XTC.
		Like that group of art-poppers, the Twins graft abstract song hooks and quirky guitar figures to a strident funk & roll base that is lightly sweetened with synthesizers and punctuated by the offbeat rumble of disco-style percussion.
		The title track of their U.S. debut album, a current dance-club smash, succeeds because of the expert mix of hot neosalsa thrust and cool British distance in singer Tom Bailey's oddly metallic whine and the straight-faced snap of Peter Dodd and John Roog's guitars.

	The Thompson Twins - The Best Of Thompson Twins
		Unfortunately, record companies realise this and even a compilation of material that's ten years old and taken entirely from albums which have long since gone to mid-price retails for full price or even more than the normal going rate.
		One of the worst examples of this was the original Thompson Twins compilation on Arista.
		At a time when most CDs were retailing in the UK for £11.99 it was £12.99 - whether Arista attempted to justify the price by claiming the disc had more material than usual or because a lot of TT material is difficult to get hold of on CD we'll never know.

	Thompson Twins : Greatest Hits - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		During the '80s, Thompson Twins arguably produced the finest synth-pop singles, and Greatest Hits recollects their industrious years with Arista in clear, digitally remastered sound.
		Nearly flawless, this collection contains only one inferior single, the hokey electronic hoe-down "You Take Me Up," and it also excludes non-Arista releases, which means 1989's minor hit "Sugar Daddy," a Red Eye label recording, is absent.
		Nevertheless, Thompson Twins' Greatest Hits, along with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's The Singles and The Best of Howard Jones, remain indispensable for any '80s synth-pop enthusiast.

	Tower Records - Best Of The Thompson Twins (Greatest Mixes) - The Thompson Twins
		Pay careful attention to that subtitle; if you're looking for the Thompson Twins songs that you remember coming from every radio and television set between 1983 and 1985, this is the wrong album for you.
		In fulfillment of their Arista Records contract, the Thompson Twins--reduced to the duo of singer/keyboardist Tom Bailey and percussionist/singer Alannah Currie after the departure of bassist Joe Leeway--went into the studio to record a disappointing new version of their first hit, 1982's "In the Name of Love."
		They also remixed several classic singles, but radical remix fans might not find much to excite them here; for the most part, there's no deconstruction or cool dub moves.
