Massive Attack is very good for breaking in speakers, Murf.

At the tender age of three
I was hooked to a machine
Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk
Must have took me for a fool
'Cause they chucked me out of school
'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk

Artemis, I purchased Thomas Dolby's albums "The Golden Age of Wireless" and "The Flat Earth" in 1984. My favorite song on The Flat Earth is "Hyperactive!," which Dolby originally wrote for Michael Jackson. Apparently Jackson wasn't interested, so Dolby recorded it himself. I'm glad he did.


Here are a couple more of my favorites that are on the album, The Flat Earth:





Note: not sure if the versions I posted here of Hyperactive! and I Scare Myself are the exact same versions that are on the album, The Flat Earth.

Esteban, Thomas Dolby also produced the "Jordan: The Comeback" album of Prefab Sprout (1990). I recall visiting a music shop to get my copy immediately after release.

If not familiar with that PS album but appreciating Dolby's work, give it a listen (here). Exquisite sophisti-pop.

Your first video says "Video unavailable - This video is not available," so that means we here in the states cannot see it. Must be a copyright issue.

Probably region restrictions. Here you go: the cool 8-minute version.

Mr. Big/Racer X have never visited Australia but I was lucky enough to see Paul Gilbert play live at a guitar clinic here in Brisbane. The man is a walking guitar masterclass.
Billy Sheehan on the bass is not too shabby either.
If you like rock/metal music and a laugh or two check out Rock Yujiyama on Youtube. You probably will not understand much of what is said, but you really don't need to!

Back in the day, mum used to play this album to death. Now with 35 years of hindsight it's not hard to see why....
