Boney M. Album: “10,000 Lightyears”

It's true that this album was a well-kept secret. It was totally ignored at the time when it was released but it's nothing but a stunning album. The sound is distinctively pure, sharp and electronic, taking on a more rock-oriented approach. The A-side tells the story of a departure from Earth ("Exodus") to a "Wild Planet" where the "Future World" can begin, "10.000 Lightyears" away! Sadly, it's all just a dream and you'll have to hope and pray that "Somewhere In The World" there is peace of mind. Frank Farian put $300,000+ into this production which includes participation of The London Philharmonics and The Munich ditto and you'll wonder why great songs like "Exodus", "Future World" or "I Feel Good" wasn't a hit. The vocal harmonies sound better than ever too, you'd just wish Marcia Barrett had had her share of lead vocals too!

An excellent CD. I am really surprised that this album is not that well known especially as the the songs are great. I would agree with a previous review - expecting us to go 10,000 years into the future is just extreme fantasy!

This is a practically well kept secret in music....truly simple and good quality music......true 80's style.....I Love it!!!!

Can't get enuff!!

This music is very pretty, nice and great, indeed
