Story4.5 out of 5 stars 194
Thomas Dolby's hit songs "She Blinded Me with Science" and "Hyperactive!" catapulted him to international fame in the early '80s. 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, Thomas finds a surprising second act.

So Much More
Reviewed: 08-09-18
An artist you think you know, but you find out is so much more. Dolby shows his chops as a long-form writer in addition to a songwriter. And that it’s narrated by him makes it all the more special. A wonderful memoir, well worth the money. But be warned, you’ll want to buy his albums after listening to this!
