Theme Week: New Wave - Thomas Dolby
|
|
NEW:
[From The Album "Forty"]
Science! Thomas Dolby - like Gary Numan - was saddled with a novelty hit, however he's not a one-hit-wonder. There were "Hyperactive" as well as "One Of My Submarines", which charted higher than "She Blinded Me With Science". His dad was an archaeologist and I imagine that's where some of the Dolby imagery comes from. I attended a talk of his regarding technology and music at Brown University in the late 1980's [I wasn't a student, just a visitor]. Although he didn't perform, he was very gracious and came out to talk to us afterwards. "The Flat Earth" is a great album from start to finish (though "Hyperactive" could have been saved for release elsewhere). 1992's "Astronauts & Heretics" was an attempt to capture the Dolby magic again and succeeded at some level but is also a little self conscious. A true renaissance man, he's dabbled with technology [Beatnik], film, music and the internet as well as family life. He notes on his website that he sometimes answers email & posts to chat groups. Science! Enjoy!

Hi Jason,
Thank you for posting the live Thomas Dolby. It's cool to hear how succesfully those songs were performed in concert; I always wondered how that could be pulled off.
I won't be at all upset if you were to also post a live version of "One of our Submarines", or perhaps 'The Flat Earth".

"One Of My Submarine" by request. This is from the CD "Forty" which contains recent recordings of his back catalog in a small intimate (solo?) setting. Check iTunes or Amazon for more information. Enjoy! And thanks for commenting, it means a lot. Jason
Wow, I'd forgotten these songs. My parents refused my insistant requests for a Sony Walkman when I was in Jr High, so I went out got & an afternoon job, bought a portable tape player (actualy an Aiwa recorder, good for the concerts later; always thinking ahead I was).
The studio versions of this stuff was some of the first music I ever zoned out to. And you know what? It still works! Science indeed!
Thanks for the great posts and tunes lately, I love the theme weeks.
