PLANET P PROJECT (Tony Carey) – Pink World 1984 [Remastered reissue] *HQ*

Still a one-man show, Tony Carey, under the banner of PLANET P PROJECT, again teamed with producer Peter Hauke for this 1984 follow-up to the self-titled Planet P Project debut of the prior year.
Titled “Pink World“, Carey created here a true concept album, something that scared Geffen Records, however ”Pink World” sold very well too, as happened with the first album.

Originally released in 1984, “Pink World” is a sprawling, ambitious double album with a plot line revolving around Artimus, a boy who doesn’t speak, and a Cold War-inspired Armageddon. Like it’s predecessor, the music features a heavy emphasis on synthesizers, although there’s also a good dose of guitar, giving it appeal to rock fans.
Carey infuses ”Pink World” with solid melodies, and there’s plenty to enjoy on tracks like the surging title cut, the brooding “What I See,” and the acoustically-tinged “A Boy Who Can’t Talk.” And, to his credit, despite the somewhat cumbersome premise, Carey manages to keep it all from getting too pretentious.
”Pink World” is a curiously interesting work that has managed to achieve a cult status over the years, recently reissued on vinyl LP.
