I sent out demos to anyone I knew that was remotely connected, and scoured
the want-ads in the back of 'Melody Maker'. Eventually I hooked up with a
guy called Bruce Woolley who impressed me a lot with his smooth vocals,
hooky songs, and most of all, his record contract with CBS. I joined his
band The Camera Club and we set about designing wild space cadet stage
outfits and learning to do eye makeup. We made an album which included my
first ever published co-written compositions. Sadly, we were a little
overshadowed by Bruce's former bandmates The Buggles who had a worldwide
smash hit single 'Video Killed the Radio Star' out, which Bruce co-wrote.
Plus, our New Romantic image was about two years ahead of its time, because
shortly after we broke up people like Duran Duran started to sell millions
doing basically the same thing.

AMG says his dad was an archaeologist (quite possible), but I *do* recall
Dolby saying in an interview that his dad (or some relative) was indeed the
creator of the Dolby redux system. I know he had one of the early wave
machine synths and actually concentrated on production after his broke and
he couldn't afford to get it fixed to do more tracks himself.
