the twins


YouTube via attilasimon. Via sequencer.de.
Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 and I'm guessing Simmons electronic drums. His voice reminds me of Gary Numan. I never heard of The Twins in the 80s. Thompson Twins yes, but not The Twins.

  8. They were huge all over Europe in the 80's. But unheard of in the US. That's probably why you never heard of them Matrix. :)
