Despite his colorfully eccentric science-nerd image, Dolby quickly established himself as an artist of substance, with a bittersweet, introspective lyrical sensibility that set him apart from most of his video-friendly contemporaries. That didn't stop him from scoring his breakthrough hit with the wacky \"She Blinded Me with Science,\" whose frenetic charm remains intact a decade and a half later. The 16-song Retrospectacle is a fine sampler of Dolby's '80s work, compiling such evocative numbers as \"Europa and the Pirate Twins,\" \"Airwaves,\" \"One of Our Submarines,\" and the charmingly unhinged \"Hyperactive!\" --Scott Schinder\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002TNF\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002TNF.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:DOLBY,THOMAS\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
