"Screen Kiss" comes from The Flat Earth, Thomas Dolby's second studio album, which the English synth-pop and new wave man put out through EMI and Capitol on 6 February 1984. It's his song from top to bottom: he wrote the words and music, produced it, sings it and plays piano plus a clutch of other instruments.
He had help. Kevin Armstrong plays guitar and sings backup, Matthew Seligman handles bass, Clif Brigden works the percussion and drum machine, and Lesley Fairbairn adds backing vocals. Dan Lacksman engineered and Mike Shipley mixed. The album around it reached No. 14 in Britain.
