Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age Of Wireless

Facts Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on turquoise coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. The Golden Age of Wireless is the debut album by English musician Thomas Dolby. The album was originally released in May 1982. Rolling Stone magazine awarded The Golden Age of Wireless four stars out of five, calling it "one of the most impressive debuts" of 1982. They compared the album's melodicism to the works of Paul McCartney and concluded that "unlike many synthesizer bands from England, Dolby eschews morbid, droogy drones." Musician magazine said the album was "the best damned record to come out of Europe's current fascination with synth-pop. Period." They added, "Dolby is purely amazing. And best of all, he writes songs."
