You know your stuff!

Yes, a still unknown Thomas Dolby was on the synthesizer for that one as well as "Urgent". He also wrote "New Toy", an early 80s new wave hit for Lene Lovich.

And around the same time he wrote New Toy for Lene Lovich.

He came to my company to talk.He said his first synthesizers included stuff that was thrown out by institutes.
