The Golden Age of Wireless is brilliant. <BR/><BR/>Thomas Dolby apparently also was a bit of tech head:<BR/><BR/>"Dolby's interest in music arose matrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364921840391533422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17775202.post-1146105011808919412006-04-26T19:30:00.000-07:002006-04-26T19:30:00.000-07:00What's interesting is he talks about the 70s.

It could be a bit more experimental. Modern English is a classic example. There first couple of albums were very dark, then they came out with After the Snow.matrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364921840391533422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17775202.post-1146104701647652392006-04-26T19:25:00.000-07:002006-04-26T19:25:00.000-07:00Perhaps we can apply some noise reduction to Mr. D...Perhaps we can apply some noise reduction to Mr. Dolby?<BR/><BR/>A, B, or C? :)Doktor Futurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296063693804241211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17775202.post-1146103259874788082006-04-26T19:00:00.000-07:002006-04-26T19:00:00.000-07:00Besides, he likes the *look* of that old test equi...Besides, he likes the *look* of that old test equipment, that's why he gutted it to suit his purposes. According to the rest of the interview he's a bit of a collector of that junk. Still, I didnt like his music then, and I certainly dont like it any more now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17775202.post-1146095658308493352006-04-26T16:54:00.000-07:002006-04-26T16:54:00.000-07:00I think the fancy-looking MIDI controller thing is...I think the fancy-looking MIDI controller thing is a bit <I>ghey</I> as well.

He was always far too commercial to be considered part of the industrial or DIY scene. And he still doesn't get it it; you are meant to use the old test oscillators as they are, not rip out the guts and turn them into decorative midi controllers...pah!Philip Sandersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425749272192387194noreply@blogger.com
