The Golden Age Of Genius
1 of 1 found this helpful When I saw Thomas Dolby perform Windpower on Top Of The Pops in 1982, I thought 'Wow, I haven't seen or heard anything like this before'. So unusual, so brilliant in his mad professor's outfit with all these weird props. I rushed off to buy the single and played it over and over. Even better was the b-side Flying North. I then rushed off to buy its parent album, The Golden Age Of Wireless and played nothing for about six months solid. Songs like Airwaves, Weightless and Commercial Breakup are quite simply timeless classics. The technology and gadgetry didn't obscure the music, only highlighted its brilliance. The original vinyl version contained The Wreck Of The Fairchild (track 1, side 2). This is the best version, later superseded by the version with more gimmicky She Blinded Me With Science and its superior b-side One Of Our Submarines which is the one re-released on CD. Thomas Dolby went on to record three more mainstream albums, the equally brilliant The Flat Earth and Aliens Ate My Buick and the more patchy Astronauts & Heretics, worth buying if only for Silk Pyjamas.
Music like this should never be forgotten and introduced to new generations to show them what a real tune is. Snap up a copy of The Golden Age Of Wireless the moment you see it, I promise you won't be disappointed.
