Blind Passenger - Next Flight To Planet Earth

7/10
Artist: Blind Passenger
Title: Next Flight To Planet Earth
Format: CD
Label: Wannsee Records
Genre: Sci-Fi Synthpop
Release date: August 27, 2010

“Next Flight To Planet Earth” is the name of the new Blind Passenger album and it marks the comeback of one of the biggest icons during the 90′s German electropop scene. Nik Page has worked together with Joke Jay (And One fame) on the album which has 12 tracks.

The album starts with “Don’t Drag Me Down”. The track is really catchy and contributes with a nice melody and you can really hear the And One influences in the background.

The sound on “Next Flight To Planet Earth” is great, good production and offers some amazing electropop tunes. But it’s not only sweet tunes, you will also get a lot of EBM influences in the songs. The voice of Nik Page is great and offer a balanced peak between it and the music. Though I feel it gets pretty boring to the end after “Alien”.
