I have not heard about this group, i beg compassion, but the video-clip is not filmed in the headquarters of The Royal Society in London near The Mall.
By the way, when this last summer i decided to visit the facilities of The Royal Society it was not open to the public, something to change, i think.

I’ll agree, “Hyperactive” was a great song, but again, apart from that, none of his other work after that really hit the same level as his first efforts.
He has worked extensively with Peter Gabriel, who I consider to be a consummate musician and producer. I don’t remember for certain, but my understanding is that Dolby is the primary producer for Real World Studio’s Gabriel’s production company. And if someone like Gabriel has put him in charge of his own studios, that speaks volumes. Again, that’s my point; Dolby has found his niche as a producer, not an artist.

LOVED this song. It has turned up in snippets for a few podcasts that I know.
These days, if one excludes the collection ‘Retrospectacle’ (that includes the first hit, ‘Hyperactive’, which you should also check out), I generally play the song ‘Quantum Mechanic’ on my ipod.
I think this is well worth blogging.

Slow news day?
On the other hand, I was in high school when that album and video came out. To this day it’s still one of my favorite albums. Overall, it is an excellent album; referring to it as synth-pop is an insult and fails to actually acknowledge the quality of the music. In fact, I don’t think any of Dolby’s work as a musician after that was as good. He ended finding his niche as a producer and has been highly acclaimed for his work.
