Step back to 1985 with the Electronic Cafe mini series celebrating classic albums turning 40 years old this year (1985-2025). Here we explore the sound, style and Impact of one of the standout albums of the year - the classic Thompson Twins - Here's to Future Days.

Here's to Future Days (1985) sees the Thompson Twins embrace a polished, arena ready pop sound, blending bright synths with rock guitar. The album mixes upbeat anthems with socially conscious lyrics showcases their style development.

THOMPSON TWINS were a British pop band, formed in 1977 in Sheffield.[3] Initially a new wave group, they switched to a more mainstream pop sound and achieved considerable popularity during the early and mid-1980s, scoring a string of hits in the United Kingdom, the United States, and around the world. In 1993, they changed their name to Babble, to reflect their change in music from pop to dub-influenced chill-out. They continued as Babble until 1996, at which point the group permanently broke up.
