Thx!
Got to see Thomas Dolby in concert at a very small venue last year. Looking around the room I thought-who are all these old people?
Time has flown...
I wore out Wireless back in the day and have gotten more into his stuff in the last couple years. There is something unique about how the Brits approach synth/electronic music.
I saw an interview with John Foxx (ex-Ultravox for those who don’t know of him) that said something like the Euros were not strapped with the legacy of the Blues/R&R as much as America and so their approach to music developed along a different path.
Makes sense in a lot of ways. But whatever, it works ;)
Gary Numan is another guy with a hell of a back catalog of interesting music. His later anti-christian stuff, well, I can do without the lyrical content, but the ‘sounds’ are awesome.
