 Give Us Back The Original ! August 10, 2008
The CD is good not as great as the original LP.
This is one more time fiddling around with a masterpiece was a real mistake. I can't even listen to the listless pared down version of Radio Silence because the original was perfect full and Poppin ! The other adjustments are lesser sins, but regrettable nonetheless. If any of the powers that be should read this how about re-issuing the original ?
 casseste over cd on album"golden age of wireless" February 7, 2008
Just recently, "The Golden Age Of Wireless" by Thomas Dolby was just purchased by me not too long ago. When I listened to the cd, the cassette version played an extended version of "She Blinded Me With Science", which is not on the cd. I also had both versions of the cassettes which had both versions of "Radio Silence" techno and pop versions. However, the pop version was not on the cd. I like the cd, but if they were to reissue it, it should include the pop version of "Radio Silence" and the extended version of "She Blinded Me With Science".

All the way one of the best! Great shipping service, fast turnaround, and a quality pressing of a very emotive album.

What is it about this curious song? What IS it about this curious song? Combining increasingly frantic nautical SOS transmissions with 80's-era drum-machine electronic beats and a melody that's really just a (compelling) sequence of Dolby chords, this one hits like a crack pipe. I hereby defy any and all Dolby people to experience this bath and not elevate it to the top of the D-queue.
Isn't it puzzling that the two best Dolby songs (Wreck of the Fairchild and Radio Silence (Try to Think of Nothing)) are impossible to come by? What's that all about? I had to search out a 12" vinyl WOTF and rip it to WAV. Contact me if you want me to e-mail it.

"The Golden Age of Wireless" by Thomas Dolby is an album that will stand on it's own two legs quite comfortably in regards to music's 'Golden Age of New Wave'. But Mr. Dolby's duet with Lene Lovich on "Cloudburst on Shingle Street"...is a hidden jewel for the rest of us who also love Lene Lovich. Thank you Mr. Dolby, and thank you Ms. Lovich.
