Thomas Dolby broke a 20-year silence with the glorious A Map Of The Floating City.
The album featured appearances by special guests Mark Knopfler, Regina Spektor, Eddi Reader, Bruce Woolley and Imogen Heap, and included some of TD's most accomplished and adventurous work.
This deluxe edition contains a bonus disc and is presented in an 8 panel digipak with a 16 page booklet and a fold-out map poster.

After a productive period in Silicon Valley with his company Beatnik Inc, Dolby returned to the UK recording new material in a renewable energy-powered studio built aboard a 1930s lifeboat in the garden of his beach house on England's North Sea coast.
Dolby says, "The songs are organic and very personal. The album is a travelogue across three imaginary continents: In Amerikana I'm reflecting with affection on the years I spent living in the US, and my fascination with its roots music. Urbanoia is a dark place, a little unsettling. I'm not a city person. And in Oceanea I return to my natural home on the windswept coastline."
