1) Twins is a canto-pop duo from Hong Kong created in 2001 by mogul Albert Yeung's Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG). Twins consists of Charlene Choi Cheuk-Yin and Gillian Chung Yan-Tung.
They are one of the hottest groups in Hong Kong, and are wildly popular across China and Asia, and are known throughout the world.
BIO
Charlene Choi was born in Vancouver, Canada on November 22, 1982. Gillian Chung was born in Hong Kong on January 21, 1981.
Twins started their career in the summer of 2001, and are best known for the song "Girls' School, Boy Classmate" (女校男生) from their first EP.
Before signing with Emperor Entertainment Group, Chung studied at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. Chung had also worked as a part-time model during one of her summer vacations in Hong Kong.
Similar to Chung, Choi was also a part-time model who had appeared in several advertisements. She became famous after her participation in the television program Y2K, organised by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).
Choi and Chung were introduced to each other by their agents. They subsequently auditioned for and later formed the band today known as Twins.
The Hong Kong musical industry has shown, many pop group bands break-up after they acquire a considerable level of popularity. The Twins are not immune to this and there have been rumors that Twins is also facing the same fate. It has been suggested by EEG that their concerts due for early 2006 may be their last. However these rumours have been around before and have proved unfounded and purely for entertainment purposes in generating gossip for tabloids.
At the 2006 Hong Kong Entertainment Awards ceremony Choi tearfully acknowledged that there have been criticisms of the Twins' singing abilities and that she hoped that they could better improve in the coming year.
Twins' fate in the coming future
Twins overcame rumours of splitting up when they attended the May 2006 MTV Asia Awards in Thailand together. They were nominated for and won the Hong Kong Most Popular Singer Award. Twins garnered many more votes than Andy Lau, who was predicted to take home this award. This is arguably the best award for Twins.
(February 2007) They have also recently celebrated their sixth year together in the Hong Kong music industry and with this the release of a special sixth anniversary new+best selection CD/DVD. Most rumours of a split have ceased and they have reaffirmed to their fans they will celebrate in another six years time.
Twins announced its "temporary" dissolution in July 2008, four months after Gillian was caught up in the Edison Chen photo scandal. Charlene said she was highly optimistic that they will reunite "some day"
2) In 1980, Sven Dohrow and Ronny Schreinzer decided to put a new band together, after they had played in various bands as a guitar-player and a drummer. In the beginning they were inspired by bands like Tubeway Army, Gary Numan, OMD and Depeche Mode.
The name "TWINS" might sound a bit funny for english speaking fans because Sven and Ronny are definitely no twins (you guessed it, Einstein) and the name itself isn't very ingenious. The idea behind the name was to describe the way of working when they put their music together. In fact, there are no other persons involved during the process of making a TWINS record. Sven and Ronny are the composers, arrangers, musicians and producers and they are also responsible for mixing and mastering of the final product.
Their first single "The Desert Place" turned out to be a real dancefloor-smasher in Germany and the remixed long-version of this song entered the US-Billboard-Dance-Charts in 1981. The big European breakthrough came when they entered the Italian charts with their song "Face To Face" and it was one of the best-selling singles in Italy 1983.
After "Face To Face" they hit the Italian charts a few more times with songs like "Not the loving kind" and "Ballet Dancer". Due to the success in many European countries, some of the German radiostations started playing their songs and all of a sudden the TWINS had a chart-hit with "Ballet Dancer". During these days it was very unusual for a German dancefloor-band to have success in their own country. However, they next titles to hit the German charts were "Love System" and "Love in the Dark".
Due to their big success, Sven and Ronny had to put together a live-band because the fans wanted to see them on stage as well. The TWINS had the chance to prove that they were no "one-hit-wonder"
and according to their fans, their live-act was worth the money. They did many tours throughout Europe with their new five piece band, including a drummer who turned every show into an exciting event due to his powerful support for every TWINS song. A bit later the band set-up was changed again. The fact that Ronny had played drums for many years, enabled the TWINS to add more excitement to the bands live-shows by adding a few parts for two drummers.
By the end of 1987 after the TWINS had released their album "Hold on to your dreams" they were offered to do a tour in the Soviet Union which brought them to Moskow and Leningrad. During these 10 concerts the had the opportunity to play in front of a 120.000 people audience.
After the tour was finished Sven and Ronny decided to take a break and to produce some other artists in their own studios. In 1991 the TWINS had their "comeback" when they released a remix album of their greatest hits which was called "The ClassicsRemixed". The success of this CD was overwhelming and they thought that it's about time to put together a new album as well.
It took them nearly two years to finish this next album because they wanted to make the album as good as possible. The album was called "The Impossible Dream" and the song "Tonight" which was also featured on the album, made them hit the charts once again.
To complete their line of greatest hits CD's, they released the "12inch Classics"-CD in '94, which features many long-versions and mixes based on their greatest hits. In recent years the TWINS played a few concerts in Germany with their new live-band. Ronny and Sven are currently working on a new album.
3) Serbian dance-pop gruop
4) Noise musician James Raymond of California
5) Little is known about Twins the demoscene musician, beyond the fact that (s)he/they were in the demogroup Phenomena, and active in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Some songs that should still be easy to find on various demoscene archives include "The Seventh Sea," "Starter," "Brilliance," "Digital Dream," and "Speedometer."
6) A french shoegaze band from Lyon
7) TWINS (the acronym from which the album derives its title, if one’s curious about the order of origin) is the mutant machine-pop project of Atlantan producer, label operator, and all-around aesthete-visionary Matt Weiner. Having spent the better part of a decade reveling in a moody murk that intersects seductive synth-pop with Featureless Ghost and grotesque industrial-dance grooves in his own right as TWINS, Weiner has more than proved his sincerely sinister and auspiciously artful finesse of synth-based music. Operating from his home studio, arrayed with various tools of the trade, Weiner tempers his subtle scourges of sound with an unending sense of bold exploration, processing tracks of pulse-heavy aural catharsis. When performing these songs live, he brings an array of hardware to back up his flooring vocal performances, using his entire being to work the audience into a frenzied trance. When not making music as TWINS, Weiner also runs the CGI Records label and co-runs the DKA label, between the two releasing music from Boy Harsher, Profligate, Alex Falk, High-Functioning Flesh, VALIS, Scott Fraser, Beau Wanzer, Featureless Ghost, Golden Donna, and more. Weiner also performs in the duo Pyramid Club with Chris Daresta, and produces music in the studio with Stefan Ringer as SM42 and with the esteemed CH Rom as Wo.

Ballet Dancer
TWINS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're dancing you're fantastic
All you're dressed in is elastic
You make art with twirls and spins
Can't wait till the show begins
Anyone can see
You were made to dance for me
Won't take no, no for an answer
You're my you're my ballet dancer
Won't take no, no for an answer
I've been here for every show
There's not a step that I don't know
I know your body small and neat
dancing on your dancing feet
Anyone can see
You were made to dance for me
Won't take no, no for an answer
You're my you're my ballet dancer
Won't take no, no for an answer
All you're dressed in is elastic
You make art with twirls and spins
Can't wait till the show begins
Anyone can see
You were made to dance for me
You're my you're my ballet dancer
Won't take no, no for an answer
I've been here for every show
There's not a step that I don't know
I know your body small and neat
dancing on your dancing feet
Anyone can see
You were made to dance for me
Won't take no, no for an answer
You're my you're my ballet dancer
Won't take no, no for an answer
The lyrics of Twins' song Ballet Dancer describe the admiration and obsession of the singer towards a ballet dancer. The singer is captivated by the grace and beauty of the dancer's movements and considers them to be an artist in their own right. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been following the dancer's performances closely and has come to know their routines well.
The line "All you're dressed in is elastic" emphasizes the physicality of ballet and the fact that the dancer's movements are not impeded by their clothing. The repetition of "Won't take no, no for an answer" suggests that the singer is determined to have the dancer for themselves.
However, the lyrics also have somewhat sinister undertones, as the singer seems possessive and controlling of the dancer. The line "You were made to dance for me" implies a sense of ownership over the dancer's talent and body. Overall, the song portrays a fascination with the beauty and skill of ballet, but also raises questions about power dynamics and consent in relationships.

Il tempo non torna più.Peccato.Chi se lo sarebbe mai aspettato che la
nostalgia dii quegli anni sarebbe stata così forte, ora? Forse perchè da
allora in poi non abbiamo fatto più niente di altrettanto bello? E' uno
spunto di riflessione.Comunque evviva gli anni ottanta! Lo dico da venti
anni, non è poco.Qualcosa vorrà pure dire.Lo dice uno che questi pezzi
li ballava nelle feste nelle taverne ancora prima che poi cominciassimo
a frequentare le discoteche.........
Un saluto a tutti i nostalgici come me.Speriamo che " corsi e ricorsi
storici " valgano anche per i favolosi anni '80!
@nicolavivarelli4127
Great song!!! Excellent sound !!! Back in the 80's ❤🇮🇹
@reneschmidt9799
this band has created a very modern and international sound for 1983, which was at least until 1987 still state of the art. They were just ahead of the times
@tonyswietochowski2282
Rene Schmidt - yes and what still amazes me until this day is the huge difference between early 80’s and later 80’s - like 1987.. this song in 83 and 87 was only four years apart!
@reneschmidt9799
Immer wieder Respekt vor dieser Band. Da war an Modern Talking oder Alphaville noch gar nicht zu denken, da hat diese Band einen für 1983 sehr modernen und internationalen Sound kreiert, der mindestens bis 1987 noch State of the Art war.
@mymine2537
Volle Zustimmung. Leider ist ihnen in Deutschland der große Durchbruch nie so richtig gelungen. Warum ist mir eigentlich eigentlich ein Rätsel.
@infinite_hyperspace
Fakt
@oliverruhe7827
Stimmt, modern talking und Alphaville wurden ja beide bloß in 1983 gegründet. UPS
@reneschmidt9799
@Oliver Ruhe Ging darum, wann diese Bands vor einem breiten Publikum und vor allem in den Charts in Erscheinung traten. Und da waren The Twins die Ersten und richtungsweisend.
@Nico-ds9nz
Ich hasse diese scheiße... Jeden Tag läuft das im Radio bei mir auf arbeit...Tag für Tag und es klingt so scheiße... Versteh mich nicht falsch ich mag die 80er aber dann Lieder wie beispielsweise seperate ways oder jukebox hero sowas eben hooters usw aber das ist Rotz... Es sollte verboten sein das zu spielen.
@thekennutzer2203
An alle die dieses Jahrzehnt verpasst haben, die 80ér waren das geilste was dieser Planet jemals hervorgebracht hat. An die , die etwas anderes behaupten sollten.....ihr wart nicht dabei oder wahrscheinlich dauer Stoned
