Thomas Dolby: “Europa And The Pirate Twins” (1981)

The romantic ideals of the past rendered through the techknowledgey of the future.

The musical equivalent of watching a lava lamp from the warm sanctuary of your bubble bath.

A combination of T. Rex’s last (Zinc Alloy) and next (Zip Gun) proved a misfire for U.S. audiences.

Phil didn’t need to move heaven and earth to have a hit, just earth, wind and fire.

The ex-Procol guitarist leads a power trio inspired by Jimi Hendrix, produced by fellow Procol exile Matthew Fisher.

Fela and a slightly retooled Africa 70 continue to refine their Afrobeat sound, this time with a pro-machismo, anti-braggadocio agenda.

The band refashions a tune from Horace Silver into pure gold with the first single from Pretzel Logic.

Paranoid. Iron Man. If mankind dies and cockroaches inherit the earth, these songs will still be played… on tiny headphones.

A more accessible, melodic record than the first, in line with the later (c.1985) Tangerine Dream albums.

Santana’s cover of The Emperors’ “Karate” included new lyrics and the band’s patented Latin magic.

The loss of Tony Kaye didn’t clip their ambitions, although the results are sometimes half-baked on the rushed followup.

The album that launched a dozen Manzanera solo records, featuring the members of Roxy Music and Matching Mole.

This is an edited version of the song without the six-minute gunfight between Neil Young and Danny Whitten.

If you’re already a member of the cult, this’ll keep the flame burning until the next album arrives.

The purely instrumental Fourth, and last to feature Robert Wyatt, contains longer and shorter works in the same vein as Third.
