Thomas Dolby Appreciation Thread
An artist I've only come to appreciate in my late 30's after previously only really being aware of 'She Blinded Me With Science' and 'Hyperactive', I've finally realised how creative and brilliant many of his tracks are EG:

Very clever and nice guy.
The Golden Age Of Wireless, The Flat Earth & Astronauts & Heretics are very good albums. Aliens Ate My Buick is OK but a bit too jazzy for my liking. Worth seeing "live" if you get the chance. |

Saw him at Wireless a couple of years ago.
Nice chap, telling stories inbetween songs about what he's up to now (made a fortune on ringtone software apparently) and his heyday in the 80s. Even got his daughter on stage to jam with him and synced his keyboards with the activity of the sun. What a (loveable) geek. |

Yes a great artist. "Windpower" is an absolute classic.

Just discovered this on Youtube, from the movie soundtrack of 'Toys' (1992).
The Mirror Song http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gf19KH...eature=related I'm liking that one a lot. I don't think I've ever heard it before. |
