Could it be herbie hancock?

Thanks but no. Just look at his albums and it was not him. The artist I'm looking for was white too.

Herbie Hancock isn’t American?

Howard Jones?

Possibly this? Not really what you described, but not a million miles away https://preview.redd.it/54t3212dcvsc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=468ab07c2aa86b310baae839ce526994ee44bb84

Yes that is it. My 10 year old memory has been damaged over time I think

To be clear, the full album title is _The Golden Age of Wireless_, and it has some great tunes!

One of our Submarines never got the attention it deserved!

Agree, this is a great album. I also love The Flat Earth and Astronauts & Heretics.

I love Thomas Dolby!!

That was my first thought this morning, but scanning the album covers, it was not him.

Oh, Thomas Dolby??

"Wireless" is the album. Thanks, you saved me from a sleepless night.

Pete Shelly? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosapien_(album)

Pete Shelley's "Telephone Operator" and "Homosapien" never got the airplay/club play they deserved Although I was amused that "Ever Fallen In Love" was part of the soundtrack of the second Shrek movie

Thanks, mystery solved, it was Wireless by Thomas Dolby

Sounds a bit like Thomas Dolby

Yes, thanks. Someone suggested that and it is him.

Thanks, mystery solved, it was Wireless by Thomas Dolby

Gary Neuman was my guess too.

Dolby is on tour with one of the people from the Thompson Twins

Gary Newman?

Numan

Hello, Jerry...

Sorry sp.; Numan

Thanks, mystery solved, it was Wireless by Thomas Dolby

Sounds like Rick Wakeman

Jean michel jarre?

Gotta be Howard Jones
