Thomas Dolby – Aliens Ate My Buick – Vinyl Record 180g Import

Description

Thomas Dolby’s career suffered from a four-year gap between album releases, as pop music trends had shifted away from the unique synth-pop style that he had pioneered in 1983-1984. Despite his attempts to incorporate a heavy funk beat and cover a George Clinton song, Dolby focused less on being a dancefloor king and more on being a commentator. This was evident in his non-charting single “Airhead,” as well as songs like “Pulp Culture” and “The Ability to Swing.” Dolby’s exploration into film also added a diverse element to his style, with elements of ’40s jazz in “The Key to Her Ferrari” and European balladeering in “Budapest By Blimp.” While Dolby had many ideas, they were unable to come together cohesively in Aliens Ate My Buick.
