Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age Of Wireless


I've got a massive soft spot for that record. I remember buying it when it was first released and I was still at school and being massively disappointed that every track didn't sound like 'Windpower'. Though, only owning about 10 records, I had no choice but to keep spinning it, eventually it got under my skin. I guess I thought it all sounded a bit 'adult' to my teen ears, y'know, like my older sisters Bill Joel or Joe Jackson albums. Love the bombast of 'Cloudburst of Shingle Street'. When we visited Suffolk several years ago, whenever we hit those pebble expanses they call beaches, the track was forever going around in my head. Also the B-side of 'She Blinded Me with Science' 12" single has 'One of our Submarines', which is just about my fav' Thomas Dolby record.
Interesting tale behind the track here....
