Official video of Thomas Dolby performing Europa And The Pirate Twins from the album The Golden Age Of Wireless.
It amazes me how many people dismiss Thomas Dolby as a “one-hit wonder”. “The Golden Age of Wireless” was just the beginning.
Yeah. While a lot of people only associate him with “She Blinded Me With Science”, while I do like that song, there are multiple songs of his I like more.
