Description

Thomas Dolby's hit songs "She blinded me with science" and "Hyperactive!" catapulted him to international fame in the early 80's. A pioneer of new wave and electronica, Thomas combined a love for invention with a passion for music, and the result was a new sound that defined an era of revolutionary music. But as record company politics overshadow the joy of performing, he finds a surprising second act.
