Thomas Dolby - One of Our Submarines
Thomas Dolby has released some horrific material in his time (see: "Hyperactive") but The Golden Age of Wireless would be a guilty pleasure of mine were it not for the fact that I refuse to feel guilty about any of my listening habits. Admittedly some of it is a little too ploink ploink for my tastes, but this particular track would be lovely on any instrument and is no less so just because it's all synthy.

Definitely the stand-out track from that LP!
(also just wanted to say that I like what you're doing, here. I check-in regularly to see what you've posted.
I stumbled upon your blog while doing a search for an old The Three O'Clock video, a few weeks back)
Keep-on!
Thanks EM - my StatCounter tells me a lot of my regular readers find the blog that way, but few of them ever say hello :)
