(bonus points to anyone who can figure our what the google-translated title of this post refers to)
Thomas Dolby’s “Flying North”?
Correct!
I’m going to have to thank Google for this one. The translation back was not very accurate, but it most closely matched links about that book.
(Sorry if you were hoping I got it due to Thomas Dolby fandom)
You mean you don’t have a copy of The Golden Age Of Wireless?
Can’t say I do. When I was looking up the translated quote though, I did discover he was the “She Blinded Me With Science” guy, and I definitely knew that song!
As far as synthy music goes, I prefer minimal wave-style stuff (www.minimalwave.com) as it seems darker and less campy or overtly-poppy (although half the perceived camp is simply due to the over-use of synths to the point of self-parody in the intervening years).
