Classic trio: Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, Joe Leeway. Producer Alex Sadkin worked on Into the Gap. Notable singles include "Hold Me Now" and "You Take Me Up".

DeBaser's available review highlights Into the Gap as the commercial and creative peak for the Thompson Twins. The review praises Tom Bailey's songwriting and Alex Sadkin's bright, rhythmic production. The coverage emphasizes strong melodies, polished 1980s synth-pop arrangements and consistent album quality.

For:Fans of 1980s synth-pop and new wave; listeners interested in pop production and melodic 80s pop.

 When playing chart-topping pop and blatantly striving to strike poses and looks that impress the eye even before the ear, there is only one way not to seem insignificant, if not unpleasant, especially to those who deeply love music and can barely stand the excessive superstructures that may accompany it: to still have great pieces, beautiful songs, well-made records.
