TALK ABOUT A FLASHBACK!!!

"Key to her Ferrari" was our opener when I marched Drum Corps. Wild Piece!

192 bpm if I remember right...FLYIN!


HA! Found it!

What the hell!!!!
Everyone in the pit got a camera shot except the bunny!!!!

Bruningshed had a deal on I think his 1st 3 ablums...I gotta dig mine out...some great tunes.....and Dolby is kind of an unusual guy

Loved this album in the early 90's and have not listened to it in years! I met him when he wrote some music for Alesis to demo ADAT's at Namm.... If I recall, he ended up starting a company that made ringtones on cell phones possible, or something like that. Brilliant guy.

That is a really, really great disc!

I believe he was a next door neighbor to Eddie Van Halen at some point.

“… Zoom it. Vacuum it’”

Favorite use of “vacuum” in a song lyric.

 

[Polska]

He wrote an excellent book too!

Thanks for posting!
I do admire his work.

This is probably my favorite of Dolby.

Love that album - I sang “Blinded Me With Science” and “The Ability to Swing” in my first casino band in Reno!

Great album. Very clever arrangements and lyrics.

At a Dennis Chambers clinic (a looong time ago) I recall him mentioning this album. I think he played on a track or two.

I played the MGM Grand in Reno. A couch type lounge.

Thanks for posting. I recently purchased "The Golden Age of Wireless" again. Ordered Tom's book and a cd of "Aliens Ate My Buick." This dude was very crafty in the studio.
