![]() Firmly belying the myth of the cold synth track, Flying North is a passionate ode to our home planet and all its powers, blended beautifully with a compelling mixture of very human emotion. Based on his unusual fear of flying - he worries about planes breaking the bonds of gravity rather than crashing - it’s a haunting, emotive song. Things kick off powerfully with Flying North, one of the finest songs in Dolby’s catalog. ![]() Tracks 1 – 9 comprise the original release notes on the sources and versions of the tracks are included in the review below. The 14-track listing above is from the 2009 bonus edition on CD, assembled with Dolby’s supervision and assistance, and includes all the songs included on the five versions. The Golden Age of Wireless has gone through a dizzying array of releases and track listings - two in the UK and three in the US between its original 1982 release and its late 1984 CD release - with two different covers. The result of that effort is one of the most praised and best-lasting tributes to the power of synth-based pop, The Golden Age of Wireless. He worked as a session musician, notably with early Thompson Twins and Lene Lovich (for whom he wrote the single New Toy.) His big break came when he was hired to provide keyboards for the sessions and supporting tour for Foreigner’s monster album, 4 his compelling keyboards on Urgent and haunting synth washes on Waiting For A Girl Like You earned him enough money to take his time in recording his own debut album. The newly minted Thomas Dolby worked with a number of bands, playing keyboards as a member of Camera Club and Fallout Club. Despite early press kits identifying him as Thomas Morgan Dolby Robertson, the Dolby has always been a nickname and stage name. His fascination with keyboards and tapes earned him the nickname “Dolby.” As he began a music career, he adopted this as his stage name, partly to avoid confusion with British rocker Tom Robinson. By the mid-70s, he began a life-long passion for the power of electronic music after buying a home synthesizer kit. He soon moved on to piano as he developed an interest in jazz. He learned to sight-read by the age of 10 as he taught himself folk guitar. To order by phone - Call (+44) 0147485010 quoting RareVinyl.Thomas Morgan Robertson was born in London in 1955.
