Thomas Dolby’s brand of introspective synth-pop and often funk-infused songs, rich ineloquent storytelling, has had a multi-dimensional influence in the electronic music world since establishing his career in the 1980s. Known for his hugely successful “She Blinded Me With Science” and “Hyperactive”, Dolby is widely regarded as having a musically polymathic and singular talent. It was with THE FLAT EARTH, Dolby’s second album, released in 1984, where he enriched and developed his signature synth keyboard sound. Peaking at No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 25 on Billboard’s album chart in the US, the album encompasses a host of influences, with hints of nostalgic jazz, funk-tinged Motown R&B and pan-global sounds. Led by the Top 20 UK single “Hyperactive”, critics were effusive about the album’s lush sound and maturity of its lyrical themes.
