Three more of Dolby's songs appeared in late 1981 and early 1982: ' Europa and the Pirate Twins' came out on 15 September 1981 as another independent Dolby single 'Airwaves' was issued on 30 January 1982 and 'Radio Silence' was released on 25 March, accompanied by the announcement of the upcoming album. Dolby played live shows in London, including dates at the Heaven and the Albany Empire in April 1982. The Fallout Club disbanded toward the end of 1981. He was inspired to make the recording after hearing Mitchell's 1975 album The Hissing of Summer Lawns. In August, Dolby released a cover of the Joni Mitchell song 'The Jungle Line' as a single under the artist name Low Noise, his own project on Happy Birthday Records. The Fallout Club was signed to Happy Birthday Records. In May 1981, Dolby produced the single 'Dream Soldiers' by the Fallout Club, a band for which Dolby sang and played synthesizers. He wrote the song ' New Toy' for Lene Lovich, about his new Fairlight CMI synthesizer.

While working on Golden Age of Wireless, Dolby was involved in several side projects. A Futurist Rundgren perhaps?' None of these songs were announced as singles for an upcoming album, but they later appeared on some editions of Golden Age of Wireless. Sounds magazine reviewed 'Urges' positively, calling Dolby a 'new romantic. The single was co-produced by Andy Partridge of XTC, who also played percussion on the track, and released by Armageddon Records. In response to friends urging him to put out a single, Dolby released his first 45 rpm 7-inch single, 'Urges' backed with 'Leipzig', on 18 February 1981. Preceding the album, Dolby allowed a demo of 'Airwaves' to be included on a collection titled From Brussels with Love, published in December 1980 by Belgian label Les Disques Du Crépuscule. 5.4 1983 Second UK release: Venice In Peril/EMI VIP 107,607-1.5.1 1982 First UK release: Venice in Peril VIP 1001.
