Dolby had more than a few hits - 'Windpower', 'Hyperactive', 'Airhead' and 'Close But No Cigar' come to me off the top of my head. And on the subject of head tops, he recently had a hair transplant that he proudly showed on social media including UA-cam!
Scientist Magnus Pike was always on British telly back in the day. Dolby's second album, "The Flat Earth" was the first "alternative" album I ever heard. Still a wonderful piece of work.
You should check out his song "One of Our Submarines", it was from around the same time period but it was released before the album and was my first exposure to Thomas Dolby... a great, moody synth track.
Thomas Dolby's "The Flat Earth" is one of those albums I would pick for a desert island. This was somewhat of a novelty song on MTV, but it's catchy as hell and a lot of fun. So many TD gems, "Astronauts and Heretics" album is also a gem. "Windpower", "Airwaves" and "I Scare Myself" are pretty great songs. Moody, less pop-y
Dolby produced some great music with Prefab Sprout.

Magnus Pike was brilliant. I once heard him suggest making each day 28hrs long and getting rid of Monday's altogether.

There was another single, 'Hyperactive' which I think he wrote for Michael Jackson or something, and released it himself when it wasn't accepted.
Which has very funky bass.

This is Pequod arriving shortly at LZ
Seems this guy invented some sort of synth that was used to play the ringtones on Nokia phones and made Megabucks
Next react to the Thomas Dolby song "Hyperactive"
