"Planetary Fantasies" gets back to basics with lengthy, powerful Berlin-style sequencer tracks. The latest in the monthly numbered limited run collaborative CD's sounds like an interplanetary travel brochure from the future, with titles like "Thrill At The March Of Sentient Jungles!" and "Glide Down Frozen Methane Canyons!". Special guests Ken Martin, Gert Blokzijl and (in a first collaboration for 30 years with album producer Mark Jenkins) synth pioneer Peter Beasley create the sequencer underscores, while Mark together with Canadian space music act Cables For Clouds and music journalist Paul Wiffen on guitar add compelling melodies, harmonies and synth effects. "Wonder At The Planet Of Illusions" incorporates Gert Blokzijl's dreamy sequence for over quarter of an hour, while at over 24 minutes long, the epic "Dare Visit the Moonlet of Cybernetic Organisms!" is strongly reminiscent of Klaus Schulze in his Wahnfried/techno phase, with all the sounds of Yamaha CS80 and PPG keyboards, the EMS Synthi and lead MiniMoog and guitar.
