Review of 'Speed of Sound : Breaking the Barriers Between Music and Technology' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

More of a 90s dotcom boom memoir than one about a pop artist. I wanted to know how Thomas Dolby ended up working with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Akiko Yano, but I don't remember them being mentioned at all. I also wanted to know more about the Camera Club. The book galloped past that period. There was plenty of detail about his adventures in tech in San Francisco and whilst working with Netscape and Nokia.
