  • This may have something useful.
  • I can see a snippet of that; does it specify a country? He's not really considered a one-hit wonder on this side of the pond because of songs like this, "Windpower" or "Airwaves"; but if I believe North America only ever remembers "She Blinded Me with Science".

  • Think I'll leave it then; it's not really a reflection on this song at all (might be worth adding to "She Blinded Me with Science" or the article on Dolby himself though). GRAPPLE X 00:00, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
