This 1995 Thomas Dolby compilation is essential for fans of the British synthpop pioneer. It features both the first CD appearances of "Urges" and "Leipzig," songs from a 1981 indie single which were bumped off the second US release of Dolby's debut album in favor of "One of Our Submarines," and the utterly non-representative novelty hit "She Blinded Me with Science."
"Leipzig" in particular is one of Dolby's finest songs, a meditative, wistful reverie that's considerably warmer and more human than is usually found with this style of music. The collection also gets points for including the superior seven-inch mixes of "She Blinded Me with Science" and "Airwaves," while avoiding the inadequate Dolby's Cube side project and most of the disappointing techno-funk experiment Aliens Ate My Buick. RETROSPECTACLE is an excellent overview of Dolby's career.
