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.

    I thought the pratt reed keyboard was being used for its percussiveness?

    The Twins used a lot of other synths than just the PPG Wave 2.2 and Jupiter 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. :)

    Hey I'm in the US and I've heard of them. They got some radio play with "Time Will Tell" in the 90s here...
