Thomas Dolby has released his first NEW album in about 15 years.... And it is fantastic. He pulls from several musical styles, but then he is the son of an archaelogist, so the exposure is evident in everything he's done. I really can't compare this properly to any of his previous work, the closest would be Flat Earth in my opinion, his second album.

It runs the gambit from Mediterranean to Cajun and soft jazz... You tell me... It isn't jumbled, it's assembled. Each track has a feel, but you never think that they don't belong together.
I'll be running this tonight for an album review if you want to listen. There will be Flat Earth for comparison, and some of the "12 x 12" remixes, 7pm SLT. Cheers!

The album is so amazing - and well worth the wait :)
