In The Name Of Love


The fourth single from the Thompson Twins sees them in territory that would become more the norm in the future. The first of 12 singles on the US dance music chart "In the Name of Love" went to number one and promptly stayed there for five weeks. The band was still a respectable septet back then with no real aspirations of becoming a chart band, but this single changed them irreparably into a bubbly trio of useless fuckwits.

    The words "useless fuckwits" call me to mind this band (that I moderately love):

      I would be interested in putting together some sort
      of Coldwave/Darkwave old and new stuff comp. I don't
      think I have enough material to pull from. Maybe AJ
      and yourself would like to gather some top songs?

      Coming back to this as it is an interesting idea, one I would be up for contributing to.

      I am surprised you haven't already got into the comp
      making game AJ. How about a 3 part comp, 80's, 90's
      & 2000's. Cherry pick a dozen or so from each period,
      and I will piggyback what I can contribute. Just include
      the release year date for tagging purposes. Take your
      time as I will try and make good artwork, unless
      you would like to make it.

      I used to make CD comps for the car, but since I bought a Classic iPod I've just let that play away on Shuffle.

      I'll cherry pick a few stompers

      I had some spare time so I got a head start on some
      possible artwork. I was just wondering what term you
      refer to this sub genre as Dark or Cold wave. I
      find myself using the term Dark/Wave more often.
      I need to pick one for a simple title.

      If used liberally I take Coldwave to include Minimal Synth/Synth-Goth and Darkwave to include Electro-Goth.

      There are always crossover bands like Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Chris & Cosy, Clock DVA, Early Ministry...Wax Trax!

      Electro-Synth starts maybe with Being Boiled or Nag Nag Nag but they're both Dark and Cold Wave at the same time as Minimal Synth.

      If we only focus on the Drum-Machine driven bands like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, there's no synth

      Do we need guidance or should we just put together our favourite bands/songs which include the use of synths and/or drum-machines?

      Pull your favorite tracks as initally proposed 80's, 90's
      2000's but also include the late 70's crossover and influential
      synth & post punk stuff. I am going to assemble it chronologically
      accurate to the year only to keep things simple. I am in search of
      a new title for this set for the front cover. Any suggestions?

      Thanks for the above mentioned insight regarding these compatible
      sub genres. It helped clarify for me how this set should assembled.
      This is why I wanted you to lead with the iniital song selections.
      Like I said no rush, take your time. Maybe just start off with the
      early stuff to get the ball rolling and we'll gradually get through
      all the time periods.

      Personally I' ve always seen the thing in terms of guitar tone/ gain and feel... i am a Huge metal lover, but dividing listening in categories (macro categories)
      Rock pop wave
      Metal
      Blues jazz
      To me seem a limitation if "the Comp" must be composed only by say music played only with synths or by left handed bassists
      My 2 cents.

      If the song fits the mood then by all means include it.
      I wouldn't mind focusing more on the types of bands
      AJ has laid out for this particular compilation however.
      These are some genres I enjoy but I am little less
      knowledgeable of compared to some others, that is why
      I am looking for your guys expertise and more vast
      collections to pull from.
      Anyways, we'll just put a cork in the collaboration
      for the time being.
      PS
      Fabio, I am a big fan of Thrash since its inception.
      I'll get you a copy of that comp when I make one.

    Timebender do you use Spotify?

    I love make some playlist for away-from-home moments. I prefer my files or CD LP obviously!

    Check this little one:

      My drum synth has been delayed until Wednesday arrival.
      I have decided to wait for the new piece of kit for
      fresh inspiration. Also, this will be my first proper
      electronic type gadget with built in sequence etc..
      I am more rooted as a guitar player first and foremost.

    What's your ideal guitar Timebender?
    I love telecasters, but my baby is a squier vintage mod. Jaguar (humbuckers) through Fender blues junior.

    Great choice of gear Fabio, funny you mention Jag.
    My main prize is a metallic blue 60's custom shop
    vintage replica. That is the only one I paid dearly for.
    I also use loads of inexpensive Mustangs for alternate tunings.
    Epiphone Sheraton hollow bodys for a nice tone as well.
    The whole Hot Rod Deluxe line in stereo, Deluxe Reverbs,
    Blues Juniors for amplification. And a unhealthy amount
    of stompboxes, double digits sick. Just to name a bit.
    That is cool that you play as well.

      I think the Sheratons are one the best sounding
      guitars in that under a grand price point that
      I have played, well built and heavy for a hollow..
      Unlike some of the other Epiphones.

    I have a hand made head for half stack (nominally 50w) this is a Geloso tube radio modded with 6L6 but is unplayable at human volumes... when the final go... you got a distortion sensible to the fingers that can cause multiple orgasms in aficionados...

    That sounds interesting Fabio, I am thinking of parting
    with at least one of my Deluxe Reverbs (40w)to free up
    some extra cash for some other devices. Too much wattage
    for the home anyways, I kinda prefer pushing very low
    watt amps these days, also better for recording.
