Thomas Dolby - Sole Inhabitant Podcast (#2 One.. Submarines)

awsomeness

wonderful stuff and one of my absolute faves that led me to a life of music. the thought off seeing & hearing tunes like this glammed up to appeal to today's audiences leaves me cold. the fact he is out there doing this again should give us all a thrill and to cheapen the experience by updating the sound would be horrific. vince clarke would never do it either can you imagine yazoo with updated synth sounds and identikit dance beats ? nah niether can he !!

If you listen to much of Dolby, you can hear the stories about his childhood and his many great adventures.

this track made a big imact on me. I played it over and over. stunning artist

Tom is the bomb.

My synth-god! (or if this offends you, my synth-gosh)

Wow this sounds really good...!

if all there is to breath is carbon dioxide you will die

nope, carbon dioxide - people breathing in a sealed confined space will be killed by carbon dioxide

Thomas is a genius. Excellent songwriter, as well as being a master of the old stuff before you just bought some stuff from Korg and made up songs on the fly....His songs took hours and hours of programming, synching, etc...when that stuff was not exactly user-friendly. I wouldn't say ANYONE is the best, but Mr. Dolby certainly had a big impact back when it was harder to do so.....he is an innovator in his art and I give him major credit for his role in music.
