Excited at the prospect of catching Thomas Dolby on his forthcoming tour (see his website for details!) I was having a browse through youtube and found some interesting collaborations. The first of which was one that had been brought to my attention before, but deserves some proper attention...brace yourselves, its Thomas Dolby at the 1985 Grammy Award Ceremony with Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and Howard Jones!
Thomas Dolby, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder & Howard Jones - '1985 Synth Medley at the 1985 Grammy Awards'
And if you managed to contain yourself after that stunning display, theres more to come! This one was new to me, but its an interesting collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto of YMO fame.
Thomas Dobly & Ryuichi Sakamoto - 'Field Work'
Next up, a personal favorite of mine - apparently inspired by Dolby's Uncle who was a submariner who was tragically killed in a faulty submarine.
Thomas Dolby - 'One Of Our Submarines'
And finally, I suppose it wouldn't be right to write about Dolby without giving you a quick link to his most popular classic...if only to watch the awesome video!
Thomas Dolby - 'She Blinded Me With Science'
