Thomas Dolby, “Close But No Cigar”

You don't need to ask where to listen for Eddie on this album - there's no mistaking the moments on this track or “Eastern Bloc” when he rears his head - but if you're wondering how he came to collaborate with Dolby in the first place, now that's a fair question. The answer, however, is a simple one: Eddie asked Dolby for assistance with his studio equipment, and in return he agreed to play on a couple of songs on Dolby's 1992 album Astronauts & Heretics.
