The Flat Earth is Thomas Dolby's followup LP to The Golden Age of Wireless. It was recorded in 1983 and released in early 1984. The album charted at #35 in America, but no singles off it charted in the top 40. The first single was "Hyperactive!", which peaked at #17 on the UK charts. A second and third single were taken from the album, "I Scare Myself" and "Dissidents (The Search For Truth)", but neither charted.
