I think it's unfair to say that his scientific skills are lacking. Dig a bit deeper and I think you'll find that he's quite a clever Trevor, especially in the world of audioelectronics - his music is in the great majority excellent too.

Thomas Dolby is a masterful musician and songwriter. Would love to hear some of his lesser known tracks like, "I Love You Goodbye".

This one is overplayed on commercial radio but if you back away from that and listen, it is a great song. Dolby had some good ones, One of Our Submarines and I Scare Myself are two of his best.

Cover band in Annapolis named Music Room does an awesome version of this.  And actually Thomas Dolby himself just played at the Rams Head in Annapolis so double  |

Overplayed? Perhaps but Dolby was really good. Still like this song a lot.

Yes. Always a reminder of Kelly LeBrock.
Wasn't Dolby a classically trained musician?

I missed this kind of 80's music on purpose. Doesn't do it for me.
