THOMPSON TWINS: QUICK STEP & SIDE KICK [ESP 1983] LP THOMPSON TWINS: QUICK STEP & SIDE KICK [ESP 1983] LP Thompson Twins   "Quick Step & Side Kick"  LP (Arista)  1983  made in Spain cat. num.  I-204 924 #synth pop  #new wave   Love On Your Side 4:25 Lies 3:15 If You Were Here 2:55 Judy Do 3:48 Tears 5:00 Watching 3:57 We Are Detective 3:05 Kamikaze 3:57 Love Lies Bleeding 2:50 All Fall Out 5:25   The record was the first the group recorded as a trio and, not coincidentally, it finds them discovering their signature dance-inflected synth-pop sound. The singles "Love on Your Side" and "In the Name of Love" are the high points, but it's surprising how many of the remaining songs are enjoyable, cleverly crafted and catchy synth-pop gems. Classic.
