Thomas Dolby - One of Our Submarines

There is something about Thomas Dolby's music that creates a vivid sense of an other world - it evokes stories of an alternate historical scientific timeline. I think this is intentional, the title of this album The Golden Age of Wireless seems to me to echo that thought as well. This song - One Of Our Submarines - has all the musical hooks that I enjoy from the whole album.

Also check out his work on sonification - turning real-world data and turning that into sound and music. The music of the Sun is amazing.
