I love this version! There is a video that goes along with it at this tempo, please post if you can find it. This was released early on the Golden Age of Wireless. Later the slower version was released, not sure why.
I didn't know this was rare. It's the only version I know. It was on the original release in Canada in '82. Of course, now this is the only version I can find here...
Another in the long line of musicians who were underated very talented a big part of the eighties dance seen if u like TD check out WALL OF VODO for those of u who know WOV u know what Im talking about for those of u who do not check them out
This is the version that was included on the original US LP release. It also had two other tracks, Leipzig and Urges, both great tracks that were dropped for the first US CD release.
This version of Radio Silence is fantastic, and by far my preferred version.
This version was on the "Original " US release of "Golden Age of Wireless" that didn't have "She Blinded me with Science" or "One of our Submarines" . I remember being sort of pissed off when I got this version instead of the used the video which was on MTV at the time. But I warmed quickly to this one too. This version was replaced with that Electronic version on the second release of GAOW about a year later.
@SpaceIntruderDetecto I had a cassette copy of the album that had this version on it AND had "Science" and "Submarines" on it, I think the album with the electronic version is actually the third release
This is great... I am sad that I have been listening to Thomas Dolby for more years than I care to think about and this song still sounds so fresh, its great!
Why oh why would Thomas "remaster" this song with a non-guitar version and ruin the song. I guess all artists have the luxury to p iss on their own creations.
you know, I bet if you asked him (dolby, that is) he'd tell you. he's a fairly active blogger and has always seemed the kind of bloke willing to answer questions.
Agree with nykayaker! I once owned the original CD w/this version, and it was stolen. The later CD of course didn't have this one. I've always preferred the original, and can't find it anywhere.
I was lucky that I had early access to this version. I found out about his work on foreigner and def leppard stuff, *then* I heard the later version. I still like this version the best.
This version WAS used on some versions of the LP. In fact, when I first bought the CD of Golden Age of Wireless and heard the Daniel Miller version I was kind of pissed. Supposedly there's going to be a reissue with bonus tracks soon, let's hope this is on it!
my "golden age of wireless" lp has this verison on it-when did the "video" version make it on to this album? I think THIS version is his best track!

Thanks for posting! It's impossible to find this heavier version nowadays even though it's the best, IMHO.

@sheppytim This is actually on an LP I bought for maybe $5; I had no idea it was a rare version until I heard it on CD years later!
