ALBUM FACTS :
DESCRIPTION :
Thomas Dolby's 1982 Debut Album The Golden Age of Wireless on Numbered Limited Edition 180g Import Colored LP. Limited to 1,000 Copies.
The Golden Age of Wireless is the debut album by English musician Thomas Dolby. The album was originally released in May 1982.
Several tracks have a submerged, barely audible layer of almost random sound that serves as a constant (and disturbing) subtext, occasionally erupting into a song. This sonic underworld is all part of Dolby's mechanical wizardry.
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.''
The Golden Age of Wireless is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on colored vinyl and includes a insert.
