 Howard Jones - by Paraic Elliott
However, the music of Howard Jones has affected me in an intense and unique way and has been such a very important companion on my life journey that I wanted to focus on that and express it on paper.
While friends of mine were head banging to metal music -pondering lyrics on subjects such as how to have fun with your pin up girlfriend, I was singing and dancing to music that was making me think about my place in the world.
Howard was armed with a grand piano and a percussionist of supreme talent and I had a similar experience to the type I imagine my older friends have had when they saw Bob Dylan or the Stones for the first time.

I recently saw Billy Joel at the Rosemont, and although he is a fine musician with a sizable contribution to rock as we knew it in the 80s, you could barely hear his moody, bluesy piano under the flat-tire thumping of the bass guitar for much of the show.
I believe that it is because of a connection with the audience that some longtime musicians, such as Howard Jones, can have a better read on what yesterday's songs need in order to shine in today's concerts for today's audience.
Jones' contribution to The Big Rewind Tour was not about squeezing into the past, but about integrating it into our current lives as we each continue to discover our own tastes and find our place in a multi-faceted, musical world.

 CDNE Chapter 6 - The Bleep Culture
Another factor that abhorred musicians of the old school was that music played by machines would not be limited by the dexterity of a given musician, which allowed the ability of the ear to perceive sound variations to set the limits for the music.
While a "normal" educated musician perhaps sees the computer as a tool for producing compositions, musical arrangements, and nice-looking sheet music, a futuristic musician sees the computer as an instrument, something to be played by its own right, and which - like a saxophone or a harp - possesses an inner beauty.
While a "normal" musician creates his or her profile through finding new techniques to manipulate his/her existing instrument, the electronic musician works with numeric parameters, spectrum analyzers, and one-handed play.

While in some respect I can see that, Metal also spawned from Alice Cooper (grandfather of the now Goth Movement) and even as much as I regret saying it (Dynasty anyone), and Kiss (forefathers of the glam movement).
One thing I notice (and perhaps that will change this evening) is that the heavier end of the spectrum is left in the lurch.

 Thomas Dolby - Music Downloads - Online
Nevertheless, Dolby was in demand as a collaborator and he worked with Herbie Hancock, Howard Jones, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, and Dusty Springfield.
In 1986, he composed the scores for Gothic and Howard the Duck, to which he credited himself as Dolby's Cube.
That credit led to a lawsuit from the Dolby Labs, who eventually prohibited the musician from using the name "Dolby" in conjunction with any other name than "Thomas." Aliens Ate My Buick, Dolby's long-delayed third album, appeared in 1988 to poor reviews and weak sales, even though the single "Airhead" became a minor British hit.

Nevertheless, to metal purists, most of these bands' interpretations of the genre are akin to Metallica's 1990s output -- lithe like quicksilver, and certainly heavy, but much too accessible to be threatening.
