Watched him play this live in London last week...he's fantastic! Thank you Mr Dolby!

[@gilles.leguen]

love this track ! soooooo much !!!!

[@dondii66]

One of my all time favorite Thomas Dolby songs!!! It takes me back to a certain time in my life!!

[@edsmith6715]

Me too! So good memories!

[@antrivers46]

And me 😊 As any fan knows he produced the brilliant Prefab Sprout album Steve McQueen. If you listen to the song Desire As you will hear a similarity

[@nathanbreakin9684]

A stunning song that randomly enters my mind on many an occasion. And then demands a full listen...

[@waveydavey99]

One of the very few songs that still gives me goosebumps! Flippin' fanstastic!

[@anitabath7667]

If it wasn’t for Rockula I would not have known about this musical genius. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@martinpirint8559]

I hadn't heard Aliens Ate My Buick in 25yrs and I was in a "record" store and I heard those first chords of "Budapest"-and started crying. I ran up to the cashier and she said it just came in, in the used cds, she had no idea what it was, and stuck it in. It's in my car!

[@JoseAvila-ef6vv]

I dont think music can get better than this....

[@fredherfst8148]

One of my favorite albums…those damn aliens ate his buick Good to see this live as he did most of that album by himself in his studio.

[@DavidSmith-ts2sc]

Bought the CD when it was brand new. This was the song that struck me as the most brilliant. After 35 years I can only say that I underestimated it. It is shear genius.

[@michaelrandall9034]

Lucky enough to see that tour. Own the vinyl. Easily my favorite on that album.

[@droz1000]

absolutely haunting song, and this is a tour de force

[@marianablengini1624]

¡Lo más! Unparalleled🎉

[@Karmakatt6]

Mr. Dolby is like Alfred Hitchcock. He really understands how to create and release tension...

[@JamesD3399]

Amazing. So many Dolby songs I love but this is one of my favorites. I think it really shows how talented he is.

[@crotalusatrox7931]

The depth of this song.

[@mattlehnardt8035]

Watching him perform this makes the song even more meaningful

[@alexoman7161]

Thank you thomas dolby your welcomed in our country

[@richardpropper7011]

Incredible cords. Storytelling and music that make the deep soul stir. Genius is seen so seldom these days, at least we see a glimpse of it here.

[@hubertvale5132]

One of my favorite Dolby tunes!

[@josephvotta6698]

In The Age of the Electric Wireless! Incredible LP! Thomas Dolby has always been a genius!

[@bogarth1987]

That song bring me to that decade (80´s) the colors, the worry about the aids, the people without damn cellphones

[@tallgeese1]

My favorite Thomas Dolby song!

[@brunobracke4612]

I'm 63 yo now and STILL enjoy it so much. Thanks for thé great songs you gave us. O and by thé way, Nice watch tot. Auderman Piguet?

[@AudioAtmos]

One of the coolest songs I’ve ever heard. I listened to AAMB countless times in the late 80’s. TD did a great job playing the guitar solo part, but the actual solo is super wicked.

[@ahernandez7373]

I soooooo appreciate the genius of this man! Damn!

[@eggjoe122]

I love you Thomas!!!

[@jeff13garland]

very nice on many levels. tons of respect for mister dolby

[@Cl4rendon]

God how i love this song - And now watching the maestro multitasking to this really is so blissful.

[@commanderscroob]

Still listening in 2021!

[@demetrios3232]

I used to do a lot of sequencing back in the early 90's..Wasn't able to pursue my music career and lost touch with technology.. But for the life of me I can't understand how TD does these performances. It's incredible.. He's always been a unique artist... A genius for sure..

[@templarseries]

Yep it's hard to see how he reproduces everything on his own. The miracles of tech, and knowing how to do exploit it. I didn't get to continue using the tech I'd accumulated as much as I'd liked, and don't have TDs genius!

[@CoachAdamRuns]

Astonishing. It all looks like magic to me.

[@NuncaSeMeOcurreUnNik]

El hombre orquesta.

[@hxylxyc]

seeing him live in august, i really hope this is on the setlist

[@Bricameron]

That was quite something. Beautiful song that. Thank you.

[@JesseH]

This guy is amazing

[@edsmith6715]

Masterpiece!

[@cliffworks748]

been listening to this since TD released it genius

[@hubertvale5132]

Magnificent! I was lucky enough to see this tour de force in Boston!

[@jakeo1209]

Usually, I get disappointed by "remakes", even if those remakes are performed by the original artist. Remember Eagles Hotel California. They reunited and changed that famous guitar solo at the end. Ruined the whole song for me. Budapest by Blimp was one of my favorite songs. It was so dreamy. Many of his songs are dreamy. That's what I always like about Thomas Dolby. I started listening to this version and at first, I had some doubts, but the more I listened the more I liked it. Great performance.

[@ninovladovic2937]

Genius

[@jdoherty8268]

Simply brilliant.

[@doplinger1]

Love this song - gives me the same vibe as Fleetwood Mac's "Hypnotized". Hell, this is one of my all time favorite albums!

[@alexbaum2204]

Damn! I don’t get those vibes at all! But… that song also really rips. Possibly my favorite song by them.

[@michaelrandall9034]

@@alexbaum2204 Oh, it’s the feel of the piece. Almost haunted and beautifully textured. I get it. Certainly never crossed my mind though.

[@tonylebon520]

Linda música! Muito parecido com o Prefab Sprout. Inclusive o disco de maior sucesso do Prefab foi produzido pelo Thomas Dolby. Voz muito parecida com a do Paddy McAllon.

[@steveshadforth]

Love this

[@sherrihorrigan7715]

Great music!

So good it's absurd.

[@antrivers46]

Isn’t it just

[@GiulioMaster-r1p]

Ricordo Thomas Dolby da Hiperactive , poi come produttore dei Prefab sprout in Steve McQueen. Con l'album Aliens ate my Buick ha raggiunto il top e questo Budapest by blimp è da brividi

[@ninovladovic2937]

Steve Mc.Queen il miglior album dei Prefab Sprout tra l’altro.

[@GiulioMaster-r1p]

@@ninovladovic2937 si Steve McQueen è il loro album più bello ma io preferisco Swoon il primo.

[@ninovladovic2937]

@@GiulioMaster-r1p A dire il vero a me piacciono tutti gli album dei Prefab. Sono quarant’anni che li ascolto e li trovo ancora eccezionali. Il mio debole per Steve McQueen é legato a ricordi personali …

@@ninovladovic2937 Budapest by blimp ricorda un po' le atmosfere alla prefab sprout. Poi adoravo la copertina, tipo film di fantascienza anni 60

Futuro 88,9 Fm playlists early 90s Santiago, Chile. Dolby, unique sofistication. Legendary. Looks like it's a PRO SHOT. Does it belong to a coming dvd/br Glenn ?

[@glenngould7299]

I own the UK edition of The Sole Inhabitant CD/DVD which is where this live performance is taken from. It is a two disc edition, disc one CD recorded live at Martyrs Chicago IL may 2006, disc two DVD filmed at Berklee Performance Center Boston MA sept 28 2006

[@tubellarbells]

Glenn Gould thanks a lot. I saw him live one year after in DC. Amazing show by a talented musician and story-teller.

[@christianlandaetatorres3836]

Thanks for the info Glenn.

[@annakolosy7101]

belle version

[@lilmsgs]

I wish he'd do that album live with a band that transcribes ALL parts to horns etc.

[@paullawson9674]

One of my favorite Dolby songs. I meditate on the destruction of America's First Nations during the eve of this 51st National Day of Mourning.
