      I think he did more than that, he merged science themes and electronics in an organic way, in contrasts to the also wonderful Kraftwerks machine music. One thing I will say is we were blessed to be born into that generation. I overheard a youngster the other day say 'why didn't they just google it?' in reference to 1995. they will never know what we had back then.

    Lyrics:
    Ok
    I was fourteen, she was twelve
    Father travelled, her's as well, Europa...
    Down the beaches, hand in hand
    Twelfth of never on the sand
    Then war took her away
    We swore a vow that day
    We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
    Oh my country, Europa
    I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
    Ta république... Europa
    Nine years after, who'd I see
    On the cover of a magazine? Europa...
    Buy her singles and see all her films
    Paste her pictures on my windowsill
    But that's not quite the same. It isn't, is it?
    Europa my old friend
    We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
    Oh my country, oh my country, Europa
    I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
    Ta république... Europa
    Blew in from the hoverport
    She was back in London
    Pushed past the papermen
    Calling her name
    She smiled for the cameras
    As the bodyguard grabbed me
    Her eyes were gone forever
    As they drove her away
    We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
    Oh my country, Europa
    I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
    Ta république... Europa
    We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
    Oh my country, look at my country now!
    I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
    Ta république... Europa
    Down in some bar along the Strand, Europa
    Oh my country, Europa
    I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
    Ta république... Europa

    Thomas Dolby, his music is so important and considered Classic by modern times by me. I'm the son of a musician and band director, my Father played with Glenn Miller while serving with the U.S. Army Air Corp Jazz Band playing USO's in Europe during WWII. Grew up in the 60's listening to everything from Vivaldi to Pete Fountain. I absorbed all the 60's music from the Beatles to Hendrix. Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Santana, you name it in the 70's then the 80's and Dolby arrives. What a Master he is and his music will always be in the Mix.

      I made mix tapes of songs recorded off of the radio since I could not afford to buy any. I also would fall asleep with the headphones at full blast. Only the click of the tape stopping would wake me up long enough to take the headphones off of my head.
      Eventually I joined the Columbia House tape club so listening to a new album for the first time when drowsy worked well. Because if I nodded off then the music went into my subconscious. This meant when awake the deep cuts felt familiar and got me hooked instead of just the "hit" singles. More bang for my buck that way.

    Love that staccato machine gun-like effect after “oh my country”….

    My favorite song of his.
    That is, until I heard “I Love You Goodbye”.
    Brings me to tears every time.

    I remember this one too, from MTV. Thomas you were SO HANDSOME. I didn't notice when i was 12 but David Bowie influenced Thomas heavily. I LOVE IT. If you're going to have influences, which all artists do, Bowie is tops. 👍👍

    I first heard this song in 1983 as a high school sophomore on the south side of Chicago. I had it on an old cassette. It was being played by a Univ. of Chicago late night radio show. It was years before I finally found out the artist.

    Like many in SoCal, I heard this on KROQ the first time, and still own the original vinyl album, which had a different running order than the later version when Blinded Me With Science was a huge hit. At the time I was obsessed by XTC, and waited until nearly the end when Andy Partridge played harmonica.

    If i recall, that's Sir Andy Partridge, clocking in with the harmonica at the fade. Brilliant stuff...

    I love this song and one of my all time favourite albums golden age of wireless. A few years ago I saw Thomas in concert and couldn’t believe how much he changed and sounded , thought I was watching a tribute band. Spouse you remember them in the 80’s and expect them to look the same 30 years later. Was still a great gig
