Wow, what more to say. The man is an genius on those keyboards. His vocal is similiar to Peter Gabriel, and so is his style. Make all those people with sample machines to look bad. My statement. Thanks for this video.
It's not 'pre-recorded'. He uses a lot of samples and sequencers as most solo artists do when playing live. And Magnus Pike does the 'known scientist' voice.
i love the tech of the beat machines and repeaters and sound mixes and sound of the keyboards i would love to see more of that in concert the artist puts the talent through keboards and beat machines and make music like that very inspirationial
hey what kind of keyboards he was using yamahas or korgs .thats a true mixer u can acually can see how he made that song if you can watch what hes doing in refference to mixing .makes me want to go into a studio and mix me some songs ..looks fun to do
@halomasterchief14 He was thining back in 1984, so yeah I'd say it's all down the drain, but I like his look and he is a genius and genius can look like whatever they want!
he sounds like he did back then.

I always thought that his Father recorded with him on this and I see that he has included it the video..please let me know if I'm wrong

The only help Dolby's father gave him was the jizz he deposited into his mouth, which then Thomas dribbled onto his albums and sold as music.
Enjoy.

@Rikko40 absolutely
even adding live loops as he is doing here
takes some brains and choreography
Looping the bassline and jotting vocal triggers
I dont see any backing musicians so this is pretty nuts

one reason that he is doing good live is that he has a synthesizer and basically most of the things at a studio so yah. idk tho thats just a guess
