Astronauts & Heretics is the fourth studio album by English new wave/synth-pop musician Thomas Dolby, released in 1992. It was Dolby's last studio album until 2011's A Map of the Floating City and his last album to be released on vinyl. The album was met with some success in the UK.
After asking Thomas Dolby for help with his studio equipment, Eddie Van Halen agreed to play guitar on two of Dolby’s songs, “Eastern Bloc” and “Close but no Cigar” on Astronauts & Heretics including a Van Halen style solo on “Eastern Bloc”.
