Planet P - Pink World (1984)

Planet P Project - Pink World (1984)

  Hard to believe but Pink World was one of THE albums for me in high school....way back when.   My circle of friends introduced me to this band and album and I immediately gravitated to it.   For those who are not familiar with Planet P Project it really was a one-man show by Tony Carey (who earlier  played with Rainbow) .   On Pink World Carey teamed up with producer Peter Hauke to release an amazing album of pop and prog genres that for many has been compared to Pink Floyd's "The Wall".    . This album was originally released as a double album set (on pink vinyl) and is an ambitious concept album revolving around Artimus, a boy who doesn't speak, and a Cold War-inspired Armageddon story line.  Carey does all the instrument work (like Mike Oldfield of the past) on this album and like the first Planet P album relies heavily on electronic keyboards to tell the story.
