1984 Thomas Dolby album, the follow up to
The Age of Wireless. Intensely
underrated, this is one of the true
gems of
1980s rock. Excellent
bass guitar from
Matthew Seligman.
Best known for the MTV hit "Hyperactive", but the rest of the album is completely different, with incredibly thoughtful lyrics, intense imagery, lush production and Dolby in probably his best singing voice I've ever heard.
None of Dolby's other albums come lose to The Flat Earth in terms of quality.
Track list:
- Dissidents
- The Flat Earth
- Screen Kiss
- White City
- Mulu the Rain Forest
- I Scare Myself
- Hyperactive!
