Dolby Family

Yesterday was my pick of solo Thomas Dolby, but I also said that he worked with a lot of other artists. Not surprising as he's a great keyboard player and musician. All these tracks in today's pick have him featured in one way or another. He wrote or cowrote some of the songs. He played on on most all of them, too. And I through in some solo stuff that I didn't fit in yesterday. Only two tracks are duplicated and they have different versions here. Soft Boys and Robyn Hitchcock is pretty obvious. As is the George Clinton as they worked together on several projects. Lene Lovich appeared on his solo stuff (and wouldn't it be cool to hear Dolby's version of this song he wrote?). The two that I was initially surprised about was Foreigner and Def Leppard! It makes sense when you listen to the tracks. See the influence on Foreigner by listening to Dolby's song Urges. You can hear his sound on both though. It's less obvious on the Ofra Haza and the Belinda Carlisle, but listen carefully.  Anyway, have fun with this one. I did. Notice the covers for today and yesterday. I played off the Dolby brand with the font. Added his picture subtly, and added some spacey, electric background textures. Fun.
