@starbearry The Folkker Fairchild was a prop plane, and Thtomas Dolby stated that the spoken part was from a retired Argentinean pilot that got talked into the overdub after TD bought a Jaguar saloon from him out of the newspaper!

I heard Mr Dolby say in an interview that the man (men?) speaking in spanish in the backround dialogue in the beginning of 'wreck of the fairchild' is actually cockpit recordings from a Brazilian passenger jet just before it crashed

Total respect for Mr. Dolby. Original,Inspired, Genius etc . FYI, I am a professional keyboard player, singer and producer and whenever everything starts feeling a bit bland, I play something by TD and the world is wonderful again.Thank you so much, Thomas Dolby, for your brilliance . And than you "SplitTheBeam" for the fab info for fans of TD.

The Airwaves here - never heard a song that SOUNDS better than this, and no-one ever comments on the Dolby vocals but they are a hugely original and accomplished element of his work. However, if I could only have one Dolby song for keeps it would be Screen Kiss - these songs are truly masterpieces that stand alone, incomparable.

Some thing in there reminds me of the theme to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (BBC).
