notes

Just when you think the 21st century might finally have caught up with Thomas Dolby, he takes another giant musical and technological leap. The artist who pioneered the marriage of technology and art, who first gave synthesizers soul, puts a camera in his brain and takes us on a visual trip inside his head, his heart, and his music; showing us at one and the same time where it came from and where it's going.

This live concert DVD was filmed in September 2006 at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. The sold out audience that night saw one of the best performances from Dolby's 'Sole Inhabitant' tour, which has thrilled crowds across the USA throughout the year.

The 'Sole Inhabitant' tour dates received high praise from critics. The Chicago Tribune wrote, “The audience seemed mesmerized by Dolby’s compositional and musical dexterity…Far from coming off as strictly a nostalgia act, the evening unfolded as a celebration of his past accomplishments and a harbinger for his future as a revitalized performer.” The Orange County Register added, “Most people’s knowledge of Dolby begins and ends with ‘She Blinded Me With Science,’ a sly slice of synth-funk from a superior album (The Golden Age of Wireless) whose variety and depth went far beyond its artificial surface. Indeed, for those who sought him out — certainly for scores of electronica acts who routinely cite him as an influence — Dolby was one-of-a-kind, a do-it-yourself electro wizard whose work conjured warmth and soul from machines whose output in other hands was pure digital chill.” The Washington Post summed it up: “When he whooshed into ‘Europa and the Pirate Twins,’ Dolby sounded startlingly relevant, no easy trick for a talented artist whose entire career is usually unfairly surmised in a single, shouted phrase.”

  • Bravo!
    author: Per Myklebust

    I bought the DVD because I have all his albums and I just couldn't wait to watch him doing his stuff live. I think Thomas writes great songs with beautiful melodies and interesting chords. Classic songwriting. Being a bit of a tech-head myself, I also found his guided tour very interesting.

  • He might look older but his voice is still as good as ever!
    author: Lee Dowthwaite

    For all who remember TD first time round and perhaps never got to see him, this dvd provides a clear and personal way to the man. When I say personal I mean that he is talking to you as though you are there as part of the audience. His stories are entertaining introductions to the songs and these multi-layered pieces are well chosen from his back-catalogue. This dvd is a definite must....you will watch it over and over again...enjoy!

  • The Master is back !
    author: Martin O'Donnell

    I don't think I'll ever get to see Thomas Dolby live in concert, so this is definately the next best thing. The man is a genius when it comes to electronic music. He has added a twist to his music which just means that it's still as good as when he first released his music. Get it !

  • Just as good as live!
    author: Steve Mitchell

    I saw TD last year live and this DVD is great. Love the visuals and the music, sound levels perfect. All in all very well produced, far beyond regular concert movies.

  • old classic td played in a mellower style love it
    author: david oreilly

    this cd comes up with a live slightly less edgy take on oringal tracks if first cd of his would make you wanttolook into his back catalouge highly recamend this cd makes me wish for an album of new material to see in which direction he will go in next

  • Very Good stuff
    author: John Savale

    I'd like to thank Thomas Dolby for a personal concert he gave us.Very good intimate stuff.Nice to have him back.Dolby still has it!

  • My youth flashed before my eyes. Fantastic.
    author: Martin Dowler

    I would have paid ten times the amount i did for this dvd. And i still would have having watched it. Thank god my dvd and TV play US format stuff. Wonderful.

  • Dolby Is Back and Better Than Ever
    author: Tom

    We watch this DVD over and over again. It gets watched more than any other concert DVD in our collection. It is fascinating because Dolby shows us what he is doing. My daughter wants piano lessons now. A few technical glitches on the DVD but otherwise excellent.

  • Welcome Back!
    author: Owen Philp

    A great return by our favourite synth player. The new arrangements are great and the DVD captures the feel of the concerts - It was as good as being there. Thanks

    author: Gene

    I brought Thomas Dolby DVD, and it blow my mind and i love it.. since i kept missed several of his show and now i have this and i wil always cherish this DVD. Thank you for the wonderful DVD..

  • A logical continuation of Dolby's musical evolution...
    author: Jeff Joplin

    TMDR's Sole Inhabitant project is a brilliant reinvention of the never-ending evolution of Dolby's music & influence. Dynamic & powerful performances abound in both the CD & DVD, which closely examines his MO on both composing & performing. An illuminating & (often informally) entertaining offering from a TRUE original! For ALL fans of music, not just TMDR's!

  • Thomas NEVER disappoints!!
    author: Peter Firth

    I've been a "Dyed In The Wool" Thomas Dolby since his stint with Lene Lovich SOOO many years ago; so I had absolutely NO qualms about ordering the DVD of "Sole Inhabitant" when I knew it was available. What an amazing set he performed for those lucky, lucky concert-goers at Berklee!! From the first notes of "Leipzig Calling" to the applause of "Airhead", this DVD captures all the excitement and all the superb music that was offered that magical night, and the 5.1 mix makes you feel like you are there with the aforementioned "Double Lucky" attendees. It wasn't too short, too "bright" mix-wise, or too dated; it was everything I'd hoped it would be and much, much more! And the info Thomas offers between numbers helps one become part of the creation process and privy to the impetuous behind each amazing song. All I can say in closing is: "Thomas.......... it's been WAY too long!...........Glad you're back"

  • Love The DVD!!!
    author: A. ravizee

    I really liked the Thomas Dolby DVD "The Sole Inhabitant". The only thing I didnt like was the relatively short playlist. That little drawback was balanced out by the enjoyable intersong storytelling. The sound and video are excellent, with an interesting use of a head mounted camera. Definitely worth the money!

  • I like Thomas Dolby music.
    author: John C.

    I like Thomas Dolby music. Have not yet heard anything I didn't like. I went to the Royal Oak Mi, concert and was very much impressed. The DVD captures the essence of the artist. Although I have seldom gone for an entire week in the last 20 years without listening to at least one Thomas Dolby tune from my collection, it still sounds fresh and new. Yes, I recommend it. I must say though, the background vocals and band members were missed. I find myself filling in the blanks from memory. Perhaps that's why the title "Sole Inhabitant" is apperpoe.

  • More great stuff from TD
    author: Caroline452

    What a fantastic performance from Thomas on Tue night at WorkPlay Theater. He played most of the songs off of his new "Sole Inhabitant" disc, which is a collection of past hits. The songs were built with great competency and experience, but I was surprised at how fresh his presentation was; From "Leipzig is Calling," to "Blinded," he performed every song as if it were a lot fresher than what one would expect from 20 something year old material. He had a great video backdrop going on while he was playing; the video was an effects-laden mix of shots of him performing, and shots of his keyboard and equipment work coming from his own camera mounted on this goofy-cool retro headset. Nice touch. Dolby explained that this tour was his first in 15 years, and for this tour he wanted to re-acquaint himself with his music; I believe him on this point because his performance was fresh and interested, and btw, he says 2007 will be the year for new material. To whet the appetite in this regard, he did play a song I hadn't heard before. I believe it was titled "Your Karma Ran Into My Dogma." The song was crisp, hip, and if he can keep this creative momentum going into 2007, we'll have another respit from the overblown, self-important, mega-ballads that still stink up the new music scene. I believe the highlight song of the evening tho' was "Europa," which had great energy, and seemed to deliver well given the acoustics of the venue. I guess Dolby can't be branded as an 80's artist if he writes a bunch of new stuff next year in 2007. However you want to classify his genre, I have to say that his music still represents our "cool generation" very well. I thought for sure that as I got older, my kids would look at my favorite music like the "golden oldies." Isn't that the generational rule? Maybe so, but for every rule there must be an exception, and I think my "cool generation" -- those of us who were completely immersed in the 80's scene -- is it. When I hear my teenage son's fav music, it sounds corny and overblown -- just plain uncool. Where's the quirkiness? Where's the joy? Where's the look? And where's the damn weird sounding keyboards? For the cool people out there with teenagers listening to the usual new overblown crap (Evanescence anyone?), please do them a favor by introducing them to Dolby via this CD.

  • Dolby is poised to shake the world once again
    author: Greg Vadimsky

    This DVD showcases Thomas Dolby in Boston playing for a certain famous music school up there, as well as his earlier-in-the-day clinic that focused on his unique equipment setup. The show and clinic prove that Dolby, playing alone but with uniquely utilized loops of rhythm and tonal instruments, is a true gifted wonder, and definitely head-and-shoulders above anyone who consider themselves his competition. I have always felt that there was a beautiful sadness to Thomas' melodies and keyboard lines, and this show proves that he is so much more talented than his hit singles have displayed. This man is deserving of greater audience respect than anyone else I can think of! And aside from all that, he is also a humble and lovable individual onstage and in interviews - I can't imagine Thomas Dolby being anything less than top-of-the-class - in his music, lyrics, performances, intelligence, wit, humor, and humanity. As a keyboard player myself who has been a classical piano champion, I only wish that I could have connected with my own soul as delicately as Dolby as done with his.

  • Who knew Solar Satellites could rock so hard?
    author: Rev. Syung Myung Me/Steve.FM

    Dolby was the only performer on stage during his set (aside from a couple techs to take care of the video aspect) -- which isn't too terribly unusual, except that nothing was canned. Most folks would just play with a laptop now, doing the basic backing tracks while they play the lead instrument and sing, and back in the day, it was the same thing, only with a reel-to-reel. (There's an amusing story of one early They Might Be Giants show where a reel unspooled and their manager had to go into the audience and collect the meters of tape while the Johns sort of screwed around dumbfounded.) This might be good enough for most people.... but NOT Thomas Dolby. For every song, he built them live! He first laid down the drum tracks and looped it, then did his bass riffs, looped that, any other riffs that needed to be looped (keep in mind, this is all in time to where they'd come in on the song as well), and then when that was done, he'd play the lead and sing. As if that weren't enough, he had a special headset on -- headphones for monitors, a microphone and vocoder included, and, best of all, a small video camera attached to the side of his head, so we could see what he saw. He used this to great effect -- showing us how he built a couple of songs from the ground up. (If you're curious, they were "The Flat Earth", which he didn't sing, sadly, and "Hyperactive!" which he did sing, and I didn't realize was so complex with the various layers of bass and drums going on.) Perhaps the best thing about Thomas Dolby is his incredbily infectious enthusiasm about, well, everything. He genuinely is interested in everything and wants to share it with the world -- not to make him feel like the Holder Of All Knowledge (though he basically IS -- dude owned the company and helped develop the software that allows polyphonic ringtones, man), but because -- and this is the part that I just dig -- this stuff is NEAT. His army of really cool synth toys (his word!) are COOL. They're really interesting, but more over, they're just NEAT. The solar satellites that send information back to Earth about the gases being emitted from the sun? That's NEAT -- and it's EVEN COOLER that it sends it back in a 3-D image! How cool is that?! We're finding out about stuff that's 93 million miles away, and not only that, but it comes in a cool, green 3-D cartoon! That's so neat that Thomas Dolby took that data and converted them into sounds on his synthesizer... which he used in that night's version of "Windpower". How cool is that? The other great thing is that Dolby seemed genuinely taken aback by the overwhelming positive response by the crowd, who knew all the songs and wanted as much as he could give us. The encore was great -- he said he didn't actually have any other songs worked out, but he'd play around... and out of the "Hyperactive!" sample-set, he built "Airhead", and I'm pretty sure he wasn't kidding when he said he was just fooling around and didn't have anything like that planned. It's always great to see a show where the performer's doing it because they WANT to, not because they HAVE to. Thomas Dolby didn't HAVE to go out on tour -- he doesn't need the money, he doesn't have a new record out, nothing. He just WANTED to because he enjoys performing. And that really comes across -- he was having fun, playing his music in new arrangements, sharing information with the crowd, and just coming off as a genuinely personably, brilliant, fun, nice guy. He strikes me as just the kind of person it'd be great to know -- just sit and talk with him. He's got that infectious curiosity and brilliance that just makes him a joy to listen to and it's easy to come away knowing exactly what he's talking about, no matter how big it is, be it audio software, new synthesizers, or orbiting balls of machinery in close proximity to the sun. (I suppose I could invoke Richard Feynman here, since he seemed to have a similar skill set when it came to being excited about science and knowledge and sharing it with everyone just for the sake of "Hey, lookit this cool thing! Isn't it cool?!") If you're not in Seattle, and if Thomas Dolby is coming to your town -- you MUST go. If you're in Seattle and you missed this, the next time he comes around -- you have no excuse. In fact, I would recommend perhaps looking at the tourdates and seeing if there's another show you can make it to. Even if you have to fly somewhere. It's worth it. In the meantime, get this DVD and watch it over and over.

  • DVD Thomas Dolby The Sole Inhabitant Live
    author: Hugo

    As a big fan of Thomas Dolby over the years I am very happy with this material. A great one-man setting performance of some of his best songs. I liked also the introductions and interview on this dvd. A high quality product!

  • Dolby the comeback!
    author: Wireless

    ‘This isn’t 80’s revival; this is about Thomas Dolby in the 21st Century’ The young ‘Hyperactive’ bespectacled scientist has returned as a mature aviator goggled, trench coat wearing ‘Morpheus’! This DVD marks Thomas Dolby’s return to live performance after a gap of over 15 years. He started early in 2006 doing a few small gigs on the West Coast of the USA with a handful of songs. The ‘Sole Inhabitant’ tour then gathered pace with more venues and songs being added. Now this DVD sums up his experience of reconnecting with his core audience as well as making new fans along the way. After playing to packed venues all over the USA and with two performances in the UK, the DVD takes one complete concert at the ‘Berklee Performance Center’ in Boston USA and displays why Thomas Dolby is still a master at performing in front of a live audience. Thomas Dolby has deconstructed his classic material and then reconstructed it in a fresh new form using up-to-date looping and layering techniques. This you see him do live on stage with the aid of mini cameras placed around his keyboards and ‘adapted’ vintage machinery, there’s also a mini camera attached to his head! All this is displayed on a large projection screen next to him. The screen becomes like a large ‘think bubble’ projecting his thoughts and actions as he builds a song from scratch. With the DVD you have the choice of watching the concert in full, complete with stories and audience interaction or just the songs, one after another like a visual CD. The DVD is also packed with other features like ‘A Voyage Round My Rig’ which comes with a pre warning of ‘High Geek Factor’! This is for those of you who want to know the history of how Thomas made and adapted equipment so he could perform live from the early 80’s. This is then brought right up to the present date where he’s still adapting and developing old and modern technology to perform in his own unique way! There is also a demonstration feature in which Thomas builds a song and describes what he is doing as it happens. Where as Thomas Dolby been all these years!? Why did he get out of the music business? Why leave London to live in L.A.? All these questions and more are answered in an interview feature. He talks about what happened in the past, where he’s ‘at’ now and what his plans are for the future. This DVD is NOT about Thomas Dolby tying up the ends of his past. It’s about reconnecting and making way for the ‘new’ music, which shouldn’t be too far away. Dolby IS back!

  • What happened to the bass?
    author: James Duane

    This DVD does a good job capturing the live expierience in almost every way. However, the audio mix falls short. The DVD has a vert bright mix common in the 80's but almost unacceptable now (considering the artist and the tools available today). The live show was vey full sounding and heavy on the bass. The DVD doesn't capture this and I think it has some high frequency saturation in a few spots. It sounds like it was rushed a bit for relaese. I was hoping for better audio but the show is fantastic!

  • Welcome back, Thomas!
    author: James Miller (Arioch on TMDR forum)

    This is the DVD of the recent tour that Thomas did earlier in 2006. I was fortunate enough to see him for that tour and this live performance (from Boston?) captures the essense of the artist that is Thomas Dolby. Great music, enlightening details about the songs performed and an in depth interview make this one a 'MUST HAVE'. Thank you, Thomas. If you keep performing, we'll keep showing up.

  • amazing

    amazing quality amazing concert great extras i would definatly rate it all the way up to 11

  • Worth the wait !!
    author: Nick Vernon Liverpool UK

    I saw Thomas at Scala in London and couldn't wait to own one of the shows on DVD, it was worth the wait, great show with fascinating introductions, cant wait for the new album/uk tour !!

  • Triumphal Return to Music From Dolby
    author: Jeremy Dahl

    I am a life-long Thomas Dolby fan, and I was thrilled to hear he was touring again. This DVD does not disappoint; it reveals a master truly at home in his craft. Any Dolby fan who does not order this is missing out; his songs have matured wonderfully and tracks that weren't even my favourites sound fantastic now. I see his music in a whole new light, and his uniquely intimate, behind-the-scenes approach really gives you a glimpse into his songwriting psyche. The best money I've spent all year. :D

  • author: Holly G! of BroadSword Comics

    I was lucky enough to see Thomas in Concert this past Spring..It was amazing (he's on tour now Kids so go to his web site www.thomasdolby.com for tour dates) I have loved him for 25 years and never had the chance to see him perform live! So when I did get to experience the live Dolby- I was torn between seeing him in the flesh and the awesome video show going on behind him! When am i ever going to be able to EVER see him for real ever again....so i did tear my eye from the real thing....sadly that meant I missed out on some of the visual : (...but NOW the DVD solved that conundrum! It's an uber true representation of the show AND I get to see the Video goodies behind him too! Enjoyed the Extras! The clinic is very interesting! so can you tell I loved this DVD? ; ) Holly G!

  • An outstanding concert experience
    author: electroman

    What an amazing piece of work! It's like watching an old friend who you haven't seen in nearly 20 years having the time of his life reconnecting with his audience. Listening - andwatching - as Dolby builds up each track is very cool, and he imbues each of the 11 songs with fresh new interpretations that are pure ear candy. Standouts include Leipzig, Flying North and Budapest by Blimp. A video screen behind Dolby displays intriguing clips interspersed with shots from his point of view, enhanced by the deft video editing of VJ extraordinaire Johnny Dekam. In effect, the video of Dolby performing from his POV helps to break down the "4th wall" between him and his audience (and the viewer) and results in a very intimate concert experience that is uniquely enjoyable. This is a "one-man show" that you won't soon forget! If you've ever wondered how artists assemble songs using synthesizers and software, you'll love the segment of the DVD where Dolby gives an overview of his rig, and how he combines the best of vintage and state-of-the-art equipment is quite interesting, even if you're not a gearhead. And the interview with Dolby, as well as his commentary between songs, shows how genuinely touched he is with the reception that he's been getting from audiences on this tour. Truthfully, I didn't expect to enjoy this DVD quite as much as I did. Even if you're only a moderate Thomas Dolby fan, you'll find much to enjoy in 'Sole Inhabitant." I definitely recommend that you buy it!

  • This DVD is Amazing
    author: MiniCoopGuy

    This DVD is amazing. I could write tons of material about the sound and video quality, but all of that can be summed up as follows: If you like Thomas Dolby, then buy this DVD as it is awesome. If you don't like Thomas Dolby then buy this DVD becuase you will like him after you watch this live show. In Summary, BUY THIS DVD as you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your time.

  • He Blinded Me With Great Songs!
    author: J. Rye

    If the only song you know by Thomas Dolby is called "She Blinded Me With Science", no offense, but you don't know Thomas Dolby. I bought his first LP, The Golden Age of Wireless, on vinyl back in 1983 and have been hooked ever since. The Sole Inhabitant marks the return of one of my all-time favorite songwriters after a 12-year absence. Dolby performs stripped-down versions of some of his best work using an array of state-of-the-art, classic, and homegrown MIDI controllers. Highlights include surprisingly moving performances of "Leipzig" and "Flying North", plus a personal favorite of mine, "The Flat Earth". Thomas Dolby has always been able to project warm, emotional songs against a genre of music that is often cold and aloof. So, what are you waiting for? The Sole Inhabitant DVD is truly "poetry in motion".

  • The Next Best Thing to Being There
    author: Dru Albright

    A DVD compilation of Thomas Dolby's 2006 Sole Inhabitant tour, this DVD presents you with the whole of Dolby's stage show from his first tour in about 15 years. Some things are worth waiting for. The DVD features virtually the entire show (sans the breaks between songs) and has an awfully nice feature to let you just hear the songs or to hear each song with Dolby's introduction to it. I personally recommend watching it WITH the intros the first time. Each song is preceded by an anecdote that's worth enjoying, and even if you saw Dolby on this tour, you'll find that he had different anecdotes on different nights. Having attended one of the shows on this tour, I can tell you that I still found new tales from his intros here. The video mix is quite nice. Rather than just a selection of static shots, Dolby has edited in his entire video accompaniment from the tour into the DVD, which nicely compliments the various camera angles. In fact, you'll see angles that weren't on the show screens, such as video from the back of the theatre, which was a nice addition. There are also several nice bonus videos including showing how Dolby builds a song up from a simple rhythm to a complicated track (one of the best parts of the concert), as well as some 'making of'-type material. All in all, this is an excellent purchase that I highly recommend for any Dolby fan...especially if you weren't lucky enough to catch this tour.

  • Fantastic!
    author: David Hughes

    I was fortunate enough to see Thomas Dolby at The Sacla in teh Uk earlier this year and so was looking forward to the DVD release with great anticipation... and I have not been dissapointed. The DVD is very well produced with great extras such as a trip around Mr Dolby's gear and the creation of a song - something I enjoyed hugely live. The concert itself is very well produced with a great blend of shots of Thomas merged with the video backdrop for the show. In addition teh service from CD Baby has been fantastic!

  • Buy this DVD. I've watched it 8 times already. It's endlessly fascinating!
    author: Patrick McMillan

    Buy this stunning DVD if you have even remote interest in any of the following: Music, Art, Science, History, Film, Love, Innovation, Poetry, Passion, ...in a word, Life. For anyone with an ear for music Thomas Dolby has been serving lush gardens of beauty both intimate and vast, sublime compositions both sensitive and flamboyant, melodies both haunting and catchy, lyrics both erotic and intellectual, creating monuments of artistic achievement in an all too barren landscape. Can this be the same man who gave the world "She Blinded Me with Science"? As even that beacon of pop belies by the time you reach the chorus, someone who can equate the sway of a woman's body with "Poetry in Motion" is a man who thinks with the whole person, not just the mind, but the body, the soul, or as Mark Twain would say "the heart." If you've ever been in love you should know what I mean. The DVD opens with a tune about a dispossessed east German finding both liberation and disappointment outside of the iron curtain. Not only do you get a sense of the irony which frames Dolby's perspective but you get to glimpse his mastery of an all new electronic array which, as he quipped on a recent tour of the US, "was steam powered" when he started making music. Ironically, his ability to give sound a human and even primal feel instantly helps you forget that he is orchestrating and crafting this very warm sonic landscape by sequencing together a dazzling bank of machines, voices, samples, recordings and images. The fact that he arrives on stage dressed to resemble the Matrix's Morpheus is probably no accident. And then things get weird. A video montage of searchlights raking across a snow storm, a nighttime time lapse of the Arc de Triomphe, stone eagle wings from Brandenburg Gate and the like showcases not only Dolby's penchant for packaging visual interpretations of his music for the television society, but serves as a reminder that he was indeed one of its pioneers who exploited its power back in the infancy of MTV. For those who haven't seen his new concerts this is a pretty faithful rendition of what happens there. An immensely creative "VJ" named Johny Dekam is credited not only with bringing this vision to the stage, but producing the DVD. Visually and sonically, this is a multifaceted work of art. Its slick production values in both camps makes it hard to believe that this is a live recording. Like the concerts, it's phonically perfect. Follow this with a whirlwind tour of his superstar years which could well be the soundtrack for those who perceive both the beauty and the pathos of modern life, its joys, disillusionment, lust, isolation and quirkiness. Set this to a danceable beat and you have a synthesis of improbable pairs that defines this state-of-the-art commentary about popular culture from the man who helped build it. He is an influence which spans generations, musical genres and mindsets. I've watched this DVD eight times since I've received it and find something new each time. How many works in your collection can you say that about? Buy two, one for yourself and one for someone you care about. Thomas Dolby is back to the glee of fans, musicians, artists, scientists, poets, historians, inventors, children at heart, hopeless romantics and anybody else who's ever been in love.

  • Dreams do come true, this DVD proves that.
    author: Lucas Moore AKA Turq

    Both the breath and depth of Thomas's music have never ceased to amaze me, and the performance on this DVD is no exception; old favorites come to life with new twists, in a DVD so immaculately produced that it's as good as being there. Watching it is a deep, personal experience, and you truly feel like you get to know Mr. Dolby a little; he's no longer a voice on the airwaves, he's a living, breathing person, who just so happens to have musical talent that tugs at the soul-strings. If you're a long-time Dolby fan, you'll love it; If you're new to Thomas, this is an -excellent- way to get to know him.
