Funny, I have always loved having Dolby cranked up when I am driving, seems to work well with passing the time enjoyably, just sort of fits. Roxy Music is on high my driving music list as well, which I guess kind of makes sense.... |

Bought this song on the original CD at the dollar store for a dollar. Among the surprises on it, are the guests including Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Eddie Van Halen |

Such an eclectic mix of sounds, noises, voices, tempos...it all adds up to a really good song in my opinion, from a pioneer in the electronic music genre.

Toward the end of this song are a couple of bars that are almost identical. No idea who was first. That's who I was trying to think off. The piano at the beginning. This isn't bad, but it's not 'Blinded Me'... |

This resembles that song by Midnight Oil. I forget the title, clue me in, it's about the native peoples. Beds are Burning? The Dead Heart? Can't pin the melody in my head, but Dolby is a clear descendant.

Wow, I love this song and am so glad to hear something different on RP.
I don't think I've heard this but maybe once here.

Like the time we stole a Datsun and drove all night to the everglades
I guess Thomas couldn't pronounce "Atchafalaya."

There's some nice stuff happening in this piece—the fiddle, piano and harmonies—but some of the sound effects do grate on my ears.

LOVin' this. Bouncing to the bass line, wriggling to the celtic instruments and singing to the chorus. I never heard this before and I gotta get it. Thanks RP for broadening and exciting my music experience!!!

Never heard this song before, not bad! What IS bad, however, is when I see his name "She Blinded Me With Science" gets stuck in my head.  |

coding_to_music wrote:Sounds like Beatles Elenor Rigby yup, I can hear that a bit. And, as noted below, "I Want it That Way" (which is a hugely underrated pop song). But this has such a great, summer-evening groove. What a rich, lushly-textured production. |

The original album that this song came from is stellar. Don't buy the retrospective - buy the original (Astronauts and Heretics). Some really nice songs on there. Amazon has it used for three bucks! Be sure to click from RP!

When I first heard this—the piano and drum combination especially—I thought, "Bruce Hornsby with John Molo on drums, but a vocalist I don't recognize..."
