My dad had been divorced for five years and we would go on holiday (or you could say retreat) to my NanвЂ™s house in Essex, a pre-war, two-story brick house large enough to once have raised a large family inside. England was вЂњthe old countryвЂќ where my aunts and uncles and grandparents lived. As self-involved as it sounds, вЂњWindpowerвЂќ feels like it was born out of my summer vacations in East Anglia.Д«oth of my parents were English, but I was first generation American. The last time I revisited it, with a much better sound system and a nice French 12вЂќ single I bought off Discogs, I realized how much DolbyвЂ™s obsessions had become my obsessions, but with a little bit of chicken-and-egg confusion. And then time would pass and styles would change, and each time I returned to the song it got a little bit weirder, stuck out just a little bit more than usual, and started to feel like a direction that pop music never followed again-not even at the hands of Dolby himself. I listened to it so much over those years that for a while I wasnвЂ™t even hearing it-the song had become a natural state of things, a section of DNA. This is Thomas DolbyвЂ™s 1982 song вЂњ Windpower,вЂќ and in some alternative universe itвЂ™s the song heвЂ™s best known for, instead of his herky-jerky pop hit вЂњShe Blinded Me with Science.вЂќ Then again, my 12-year-old self would never have heard of Dolby if not for that MTV-dominant single, and I wouldnвЂ™t have purchased one of my first ever vinyl records, the Blinded by Science EP on which вЂњWindpowerвЂќ is the opening track of Side Two. And then our singer steps up to the mic: вЂњSwitch off the mind and let the heart decideвЂ¦ who you were meant to be.вЂќ ThereвЂ™s a short intake of breath, a low om-like hum.
