The entire Golden Age Of Wireless is a Masterpiece. Listening to it for 35 years now and still loving every Song.

If I ever discover someone who adores Thomas Dolby and his songs as much as I do, then it's truly meant to be.

Thomas Dolby's songs are like pleasant dreams. The sounds and visuals go along perfectly.

Akiko Yano on back vocals is both bizarre and totally makes sense. Her own discography (including her collaborations with YMO) is masterful. She is, after all, who is referred to as _‘Ms. Sakamoto’_

Did anyone else really hit the synth-pop sweet-spot like Thomas did?

Thomas Dolby showed that synthpop was really an art and not just banal electronic music.

If you are here you have a great taste in music ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

So far ahead of his time absolute genius, should of been massive and should be mentioned along with the greats of the era

For a male singer he has an absolutely beautiful voice.

The one true master of synthpop, Thomas Morgan Dolby Robertson

I like the longer version where the words are whispered "Try to think of nothing" over and over.

A masterpiece

Such a good song. Dolby is understated more than ever.

Thomas Dolby still fresh and pumping now as back then

Happy Birthday Thomas Dolby born on October 14, 1958. He is an English musician, and composer. Dolby came to prominence in the 1980's, releasing hit singles including She Blinded Me with Science and Hyperactive!. The stage name Thomas Dolby originated from a nickname "Dolby" that he picked up in the early 1970's, when he was "always messing around with keyboards and tapes". - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Dolby

An absolute genius Synth poetry...Thomas Dolby......

Lene Lovich on this track gives me butterflies 🦋

I heard the final broadcast of Radio Caroline and laser 558.What an incredible time in history.

Does anyone else find Thomas Dolby at his age in this video to be DEEPLY attractive? Just me?

Saw him in about 84 in liverpool, saw a red glow through the smoke on stage and it was Dolby walking onstage with a big cuban cigar. Had a similar double breasted suit on as in this video. My first concert too.

My Radio Caroline memory was of a guest performance by Can member Holger Czukay, doing a live performance.

Musical genius...coming from a historian...I love the 80s.....

Sheer brilliance...

Cloudburst at Shingle Street and One of our Submarines.....what a timeless album.

Love the vintage radio equpment.

2:40 chills every time

...this is still a genius tune from Tomas, and for our music history in electronica...synths.....

finally thomas dolby has a channel. Wow

I adore this song. The bridge/middle 8 is so beautiful....Tune in tonight.......

Thomas Dolby is great.

I fell in love with this song as a kid and it's stuck with me all these years. As a matter of fact, it was this song that inspired the comic I'm creating. Thank you for the inspiration! It may have taken a lot of years to get to the point where I could start creating my vision, but nonetheless, I was inspired by this magnificent song!

From the late Fall 1982 going into Winter 1982/83. This was an MTV classic video and the song itself is just plain classic! I miss the 80’s…

to think? DOLBY used to be called a sample guy! He's like MOZART compared to beat box boys today! ;)

Amazing that several decades later the clip is FINALLY restored and dubbed into stereo. The MTV version was mono and a poor transfer, so this is a revelation.

One of my all time favourite tracks of yours.

Just love this song, so great!!

Thomas, man, your voice sounds steroidally classic -- that expansiveness of its heralding its artfulness -- it bellows benchmark..!

Terrific track, I love this

It didnt take me long after hearing "Blinding me with Science" to fall in love with the rest of his songs. Does anybody know any artists who compare to this genius?

spectacular song ! genius !

truly genius and inspirational.

Wow...walking around memory lane!!!

I can't help but get murdery vibes from this song.

Love Akiko Yano on the song too

I loved dolbys whole doctor who style persona with the wing tip collars and bow tie singing songs about tech

Lene lovich in this video,fantastic..

I think today during the fires in California I will stay in all day and play Thomas Dolby

Freaking genius !!!!

I love so Thomas Dolby Robinson

Is it just me, or does this song give off a rather unnerving air?

And don't forget that he produced "Jordan: The Comeback", a Prefab Sprout masterpiece.

Gorgeous

I wonder if this song got much radio play. On Radio Caroline maybe?

This album made music interesting again. Been a while

A true pioneer of crafted alternative electronic pop music. I found much joy in life when I first heard and subsequently battered to death by playing The exquisite Golden Age L.p. A very underrated Gem. Except by the people who know differently. I can be proud to be one of those . Especially the 16 year old with his head full of catchy innovative so much better music wise ( Japan excluded.) to what else was being listened at the time. A great sound track to a period of my life made more colourful and happier by Thomas Dolby and his musical endeavours . Long life The Golden Age of…..

2020!! still going strong!!!

She sounds like Carole Kane, but i believe it's Lene Lovitch singing accompanying vocals! She is also brilliant, but even more eccentric!

Its Close to 2022 and I am still Listening to Thomas.

Lene looks beautiful in this great vid.

With logic and sense

...I was listening to kraftwerk today...loved it...put sometyelse on...Mr Dolby was a bit different...he listened to kraftwerk...and then conjured this...!!!..

Back when music was good .

My Youth!

Genius with a G

Silence Speaks. 😐. 💝. 🎸

I remember buying a record during my school days but after so many years I am seeing the video

A great song in 2022!

MUSIC GOD!

Thomas Dolby is simply Awesome! Very cool Astatic Microphone. I have several. Anyone notice it or just us radio enthusiast's?

Nice

And now it's 2020, and my mobile's Bluetooth name is Caroline452.

OK Class... Pay Attention!! When "The Golden Age of Wireless" was First released it had a Completely Different album cover & Did Not have "She Blinded Me With Science!" And some other differences. (The cover was Thomas standing on a college lecture stage). You can find pictures online. Dr Magnus Pike the Old Professor in the "Science" video was a kind of geriatric "Bill Nye the science Guy" on Television in England. He hated his return to the British TV spotlight... Which consisted of people yelling SCIENCE! at him as he walked down the street! He had no idea doing that video was going to change the rest of his life. The Very 1st CD I ever bought was Dolby's fantastic "Aliens Ate my Buick" album. With a very hot band of unknowns that he found by running an ad in the 'LA Recycler' newspaper.

Who's Singing Background Vocals on "Radio Silence?"

Da Phil Spector of early 80's electro.

A peek at the cartoon we see all the time.

To my ears this edit far surpasses the version on Golden Age. As a friend put it, this one ‘bubbles along like a chemistry experiment.’

✨🎶📡📻📡🎶✨

❤️👍

Great song. Album version better but still good.

🎉

The title they chose for this album: The Age of Wireless marked the era of music into this frenzy of electronic beats and synthesized instruments. They were decades ahead of their time.

1:37 Lene Lovich?

Le me, trying to figure out what 452 means and ending up learning about pirate radio.

feat. Akiko Yano 😏

Was it taken from "The Flat Earth" or "The Golden Age Of Wireless" by Thomas Dolby?

I always think of Kate Bush when the female singer is coming in..... but who is she ?

My brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life

IS the girl the girl from Altered Images?

#ILoveYou369💗

I grew up listening to Thomas Dolby, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Toyah, Police, then tried to write songs. No wonder I had so much trouble. I should have listened to AC/DC or John Cougar or anything rock with a 4/4 time. Would have made it so much easier.

I thought the woman singing on this one was Lene Lovich.

Bin ich der einzige der den Song etwas chrill findet... Also er hat seine Momente aber hat auch Stellen die sich nicht harmonisch anhören.... Muss da auch etwas an Nina Hagen denken....

He bears a striking resemblance to Alec Steele I think

What a strange mix of this song. Completely different from the album version. Was this the original video way back when?

Oh gosh. He’s wearing a tan suit!!!

YMO！？

I bet this is the guy who created the original sunffleupagus on sea seasame street
