Favorite. 80s. Producer.
His record label in the mid 1980s, ZTT- you could just buy whatever
came out on it, and PRESTO a classic in your hands. I liked
Propaganda, which was very like the "Welcome to the Pleasuredome"
FGTH record.
And it's just not allowed to let any chatting about Trevor Horn go by
without mentioning The Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star" and how
his pop act was the first video on MTV, etc., etc., yadda, yadda, But
here's the cool extra credit part:

Bruce Woolley was like, err, umm... perhaps like "Dino Tome" was to
Klaatu, Bruce Woolley was to The Buggles. He's there on the
songwriting creds for "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "Clean
Clean", and even appears very briefly in the video of the former. But
he split off prior to the release of "The Age of Plastic" and made
his own versions of these songs on his own record, "Bruce Woolley and
the Camera Club".
I stumbled on the videos last year ... and lookah who's on keyboards
there? You saw right- that's Thomas Morgan Dolby Robertson ("Good
Heavens Miss Sakamoto, You're Beautiful").
Enjoy,
