after years enjoying domesticated bliss and successful forays into the real world of business, ireallylovemusic’s<\/u> favourite pop professor thomas dolby<\/strong> is back in action.<\/p>\n

there will be remastered reissues of two of his albums, the synth heavy the golden age of wireless<\/font>, and the genuine timeless classic, the flat earth<\/font>.<\/p>\n

supposedly the reissues will feature all manner of special extras, and revised running orders. <\/p>\n

details yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

prior to all that excitement though is the release of a much needed compilation of all his singles, singular<\/font>. <\/p>\n

laid down in strict chronological order, the compilation will track his career from the early synth pop of urges<\/font>, through to "the hits" (i really dont have to name them do i ?), plastic funk collisions with george clinton<\/strong>, and onto his more emotionally charged melancholy pop. <\/p>\n

i mean has there ever been a song as prescient as his final proper single back in 1992, i love you goodbye<\/font>.<\/p>\n

so, while most people will be aware of "the hits", this is clearly an album to put things straight as there was always so much more to thomas dolby<\/strong> than a so-called novelty hit about science, and a video in which a manic bug eyed haircut plays a violin.<\/p>\n

more details as and when.<\/p>\n
