More Info:

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the British Synthpop star's 1984 sophomore album including eight bonus tracks. The Flat Earth's sophisticated sound was a battle cry to any doubters, combining Dolby's signature keyboards into a more organic, layered sound. 'Hyperactive!', the result of a bizarre evening spent at Michael Jackson's house, bore the most fruit, repeating the success of 'She Blinded Me with Science', and scoring Thomas his first Top 20 hit in his home country. The epic 'Dissidents' revisits Dolby's love of cold war espionage, and at the other end of the spectrum, the haunting Dan Hicks' ballad "I Scare Myself" is turned into a piano-led affair with a sexy, sultry video. The latter is a solo embodiment of the shimmering, breathy sound that would form the heart of the Prefab Sprout sound he was integral to creating - production values which he has said he ranks amongst his personal career highs. Bonus tracks include non album cuts, remixes and live recordings. EMI. 2009.
