Description

Original 1996 German cd release

Planet P Project, known originally as simply Planet P, is the studio brainchild of producer Peter Hauke, and an American expatriate living in Germany, Tony Carey, who had played for a while with Rainbow. Carey wrote all of the songs and played various instruments on the bands 1983 debut album Planet P Project. The music is layered in synthesizers and has a decidedly dated feel to it, while Carey’s lyrics tend toward bleak expressions of isolation. The album did spawn a modest radio hit in the thumping Why Me, which even made inroads at Top 40. Nothing too special going on here, although Carey does exhibit a good sense of melody on tracks like the propulsive, delusion-of-grandeur tale in King For A Day and the dreamy I Wont Wake Up.
