"That's Why People Fall in Love" turned up on Astronauts & Heretics in 1992, with Thomas Dolby singing and playing keyboards over a band with real bounce in it: Terry Jackson on electric bass, Rafael Padilla on percussion and Jimmy Z blowing saxophone. The guest voice belongs to Ofra Haza, and when it winds around Dolby's, the song's easy, sunlit groove takes on a lovely extra lift. It catches Dolby in a warm, unhurried mood.
