![]() In a phone interview, Dolby discussed “The Invisible Lighthouse,” as well his career in general. Performances consist of Dolby performing a live soundtrack and narration as the film plays, with Blake Leyh doing live sound design and effects. The endeavor evolved into “The Invisible Lighthouse,” a transmedia event that Dolby is taking out on the road. A lack of cooperation from local authorities meant this entailed going out to the island on an inflatable boat and using a remote control drone camera for aerial shots. Located at the tip of an off-limits ex-military island, the lighthouse was about to close, prompting Dolby to get out and document it. Having returned to Suffolk, England after spending over 15 years in Silicon Valley, Thomas Dolby found inspiration in a lighthouse that was part of his childhood memories. Thomas Dolby interviewed about "The Invisible Lighthouse" Including a very hard to find LIVE CD, i guess that was sold on that tour. In 2013, there was a huge multimedia tour, and film for 'the invisible lighthouse', The result seemed to fit in with the GOLDEN AGE OF WIRELESS ethos, and made for a nice little SW radio-driven sequence on side two. But I had second thoughts about it after listening to the album in toto and decided it was too 'rockist.' About the same time the opportunity came up for me to work with Daniel Miller (Depeche Mode's producer and supremo of Mute Records) plus Akiko Yano was in town! so I decided to take another crack at it. TD: "There are two very different renditions of 'Radio Silence.' I originally recorded it with the same rock band as had played on many other GOLDEN AGE OF WIRELESS tracks: Kevin Armstrong, Justin Hildreth, and Mark Heyward-Chaplin. Radio Silence 3.47 / Radio Silence (Version) 4.32 (Venice in Peril Records, VIPS 102) As far as I know the non-synthy version has never been released on CD.25 March 1982 7" Thomas Dolby: Radio Silence The CD version only has the synth version. Both records come on the same label and catalog number. The rock version has a track time of 4:32 whereas the synth version has a track time of 3:43. If you are trying to find the versions with the different Radio Silence, there seems to only be one difference which is the track time of the song. All of these different variations of song listings and at least 2-3 different covers makes this very difficult to trace the exact history of the album. Before the songs were switched out, Thomas also rerecorded the song Radio Silence with a more "synthy" version. ![]() The new songs became Thomas' highest charting songs of his career so far. Later due to the success of the videos and the Blinded By Science EP, the songs were replaced by She Blinded Me with Science and Europa and the Pirate Twins. These songs made it onto the original version of the album. Prior to this album, Thomas had released a single with the songs Urges and Leipzig. As you can see from the many listings for the album, it underwent several variations as the record company tried to figure out how to market Thomas. Interestingly, this song was not included on the original release of the album. It is also the most well known due to the MTV video play of the video She Blinded Me With Science. ![]() ![]() This was Thomas Dolby's first major album.
