I have this album but was never quite able to get into it, despite being a
fan of both Buggles albums (and Yes' Drama for that matter). As I recall,
Thomas Dolby is keyboard player for the band. According to this site
http://park10.wakwak.com/~techno/wooleyb.html , Mr. Wooley later had two
projects: Firmament and the Elements, and Radio Science Orchestra.
