Oceanea - EP
Oceanea - EP.I bought Thomas Dolby's "The Golden Age of Wireless" when it first came out, and over the following three decades his music has been a constant companion to me. He's not just the guy who wrote "She Blinded Me With Science" - he's become one of popular music's most interesting and gifted songwriters with a particular talent for coming up with striking imagery. Just listen to "Screen Kiss" off "The Flat Earth" for example, "Budapest by Blimp" off "Aliens Ate My Buick" or "Beauty of a Dream" from "Astronauts and Heretics." He's no slouch at arrangements or production, either; I can attest to the fact that his work bears up to repeated listening and nearly thirty years after I first became a fan I'm still discovering nuances that leave me wondering how he does it. Bravo, Sir. Bravo!

The "Oceanea" EP is the second collection from his upcoming album "The Map of the Floating City". It's a foretaste of his first studio album in over a decade, and like "Amerikana" before it, the songs it contains show that in his musical hiatus he's become better than ever. Like "Amerikana" the songs seem to be excerpts from a musical voyage, one that's positively cinematic in scope. All three tracks stand worthy of comparison with his best work. Oceanea's title track is one of the few pieces of music that can move me to tears when I hear it; it's a song of homecoming and loss with vocals by Mr D and Eddi Reader. (Is it the end of the voyage, or a beginning?) "Simone" is film noir for the ears, complete with a Theremin performance by The Camera Club's Bruce Woolley, and "To The Lifeboats" is addressed to Caroline, a name that brings back memories of that first album, years ago.

Saying any more would spoil things - buy the EP and discover them for yourself.
