Planet P Project
1931 – Go Out Dancing Part 1
Prog Rock Records
2005
Tony Carey is not an ordinary musician. He played in Rainbow’s “Rising” & “On Stage” and in 1983 he created Planet P Project. “Why Me?” became a smash hit all over the world and Tony’s reputation started growing. In 1984, he released the double “Pink World” which was more amazing than the debut.
So, after almost 20 years Tony presents the new work of Planet P Project, the first of a trilogy titled “Go Out Dancing”. The album was first released through Baby Boomer Music and now is officially re-released though Prog Rock records. The second part will be titled “Levittown” and the third one “Out in the Rain”. The lyrical concept of “1931” deals with the radical right, starting in Weimar Germany in 1923, right through to the Federal Building and including all that fun bunch of Nazis, Tim McVeigh and the militia movement. Quite an interesting concept, don’t you think?
The music of the album can be characterized as art prog rock with some pop, classic rock andAOR elements. The truth is that the more I listen to the album the more I like it and I also discover things that I hadn’t noticed in my previous listens. And you know what… this the most intriguing thing on this album. It has so good and inspired songs that you will never lose your interest and it’s impossible to get bored!
Tony’s voice and keys create such a gloomy, esoteric and nostalgic atmosphere. The production is awesome and I really cannot find any flaws. It’s very difficult to separate any songs from the album but if I was forced to do so then I would choose the ones below as absolute highlights: “My Radio Talks to Me”, “Join the Parade”, “Good Little Soldiers”, “The Other Site of the Mountain”, “Waiting for the Winter”, “Believe It”, “The Things They Never Told Me” and “Where Does It Go?”. It’s not easy to find such an inspired & well-written prog rock album like “1931 – Go Out Dancing Part 1” nowadays. If you love melodic, art-rock & prog rock music then you should definitely check out this album.
