Thomas Dolby - Original Album Series

Review by Magno Recruta

Thomas Dolby's Original Album Series is a must-have for any fan of his unique style of synthpop and new wave music. This collection includes five of his most iconic albums, including The Golden Age of Wireless, The Flat Earth, Aliens Ate My Buick, Astronauts & Heretics, and The Gate to the Mind's Eye soundtrack.

Each album showcases Dolby's talent for fusing electronic and acoustic instruments, resulting in a sound that is both futuristic and timeless. The Golden Age of Wireless, in particular, features his hit single "She Blinded Me with Science", which remains a staple of 80s music.

The Flat Earth continues the trend of blending genres, with tracks like "Screen Kiss" and "Hyperactive!" showcasing Dolby's ability to create catchy hooks with thought-provoking lyrics.

Aliens Ate My Buick takes a more experimental approach, featuring collaborations with Eddie Van Halen and Jerry Garcia, while Astronauts & Heretics explores themes of space and spirituality.

Finally, The Gate to the Mind's Eye soundtrack provides a fitting end to this collection, with atmospheric instrumentals that highlight Dolby's talent for creating soundscapes that transport the listener to other worlds.
