80sography - 80s music interviews
Music:Music Commentary
We return to part two of Thomas Dolby's 80:10 with production work with two songwriting icons; one massively successful the other less so, plus playing Live Aid with yet another. Plus lots of film work and a technicolour third solo album...
6. PREFAB SPROUT (1985-89)
Producer for Steve McQueen, From Langley Park to Memphis and Jordan: The Comeback (recorded 1989, released in 1990, pedants!)
7. DAVID BOWIE (1985)
Keyboards for Bowie at Live Aid, playing on TVC 15, Modern Love, Rebel Rebel and "Heroes".
8. JONI MITCHELL (1985)
"Producer" for Dog Eat Dog and a definite contrast to his experiences with Paddy and Davy Jones.
9. FILM WORK (1985-87)
Scored Fever Pitch (no, not that one) and did the songs for Howard The Duck (yes, that one) as well as a rather impressive score for Gothic.
10. ALIENS ATE MY BUICK (1988)
The third album. Contains the BEST SONG HE EVER DID (fact!)
