Retro Saturday: Thomas Dolby

Real name Thomas Robertson, best known for loopy hits like "She Blinded Me With Science" and "Hyperactive" but those of us who paid closer attention to this talented artist’s career would remember tracks like the fantastic "Airwaves" which had a lot more depth, quality and sensitivity.

Later on there was "I Love You Goodbye" which had a little Bruce Hornsby piano-vibe to it and the lyrics unravelled an evocative and interesting story:
