What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

Planet P Project, Pink World -- I think this might be my favouritest "deep catalog"/lesser-known album of all time. I even love the "very 80's" production. It's basically Tony Carey gone crazy in a studio. He does everything -- lots of Eventide vocal processing, etc. Drums, guitars, synthesizers, it's all him.

EDIT: And yet, it's some strong-ass songwriting. Groovy, powerful, he might have bitten off too much -- he tackles cults/religions, politics, big-brother monitoring, nukes, ecology (remember when we called it that), horror, and ties it all together in a story. I would love to see this rendered into a movie.

So this boy becomes a provider and protector during the end days, but one has to declare fealty to him in order to be welcome in "the zone" -- a place behind a force field to protect one from nuclear radiation.

"It's such a comfort when he knows what you think

Oh yeah

It's a little like Santa Claus faded to pink

Oh yeah..."

So fucking brilliant.

I especially love that sequence from "This Perfect Place"/"What Artie Knows"/"In the Zone"/"Behind the Barrier Pt. 2"/March of the Artemites"/"This Perfect Place Pt. 2".
