DESCRIPTION

Thomas Dolby highlights his melodic tendencies on Astronauts & Heretics, his 4th studio album. Containing more personal moments enhanced by his love for technology, which tracks as "Cruel," featuring Eddi Reader, and "Eastern Bloc (the sequel)" help listeners connect with bits of the past forwarded into the future.

"Eastern Bloc (the sequel)" takes its rhythmic sense from the old Johnny Otis tune, "Willie and the Hand Jive," before it comes into its own. Eddie Van Halen's guitar skills can be heard on 2 tracks: "Eastern Bloc" & "Close But No Cigar."

Astronauts & Heretics is a Dolby at his finest and the album is one of the more hidden gems of his catalogue. Time sometimes must catch up to foresighted performers. Astronauts & Heretics is just a perfect example of this.

This album is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on gold coloured vinyl and comes with an insert.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can also check out our complete FAQ section here.

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.

If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

By buying a product from our shop, you’re buying a great product which has been made
with care. But vinyl is a delicate product, and each pressing is unique!

This means that some products can differ from how they look on our website compared with the physical product. On our website, we create mock-ups with give the best possible representation of our product. However, due to the unique pressing process of some off these products, we can never guarantee that this looks exactly the same. This can mean that colours might differ slightly from the represented colour on our website. Please make sure to keep this in mind when shopping on our website.

To sum up, it can indeed differ slightly from the picture on our website, but it also means you have a true one of a kind, very rare copy!
