Review by maxi-freak Aug 29, 2009

referencing Nightflight To Venus, LP, Album, Fir, 26 026 OT

The mysterious title track opens with a robot voice inviting the listener on a night flight to Venus on board the starship Boney M., breaking into a hypnotizing drum beat with space effects, a catchy guitar riff, suddenly changing into a military march theme, and then back to the basic beat, while the robot voice continues with technical details on the voyage to Venus ... this very first and LP-pressing contains a 7:00 version (also telling about "Moon City" and the cool-down of Venus' atmosphere from 450 degrees to the current pleasant 75 degrees).

Like flaxfury said, but put in a different way -'one man's bric-a-brac is another man's disco' (that probably makes no sense!!)
OTT outfits etc., but check out the breaks - very well produced, and if you know how to drop it; well, a disco-spastic reaction evertime!!
Budgets, and therefore some production standards have slipped over the years - but if you dig around your local salvation army or dj rare groove vinyl store (!), you'll be well rewarded for making the effort for taking a chance or two in the global hits disco section!

Night flight to Venus - This album is a classic, which has stood the test of time. The cover sleeve is fabulous, over the top and unbelievable. This record stands the test of time. I recently purchased a copy of this from a bric a brac shop, it was literally going for a 'song'. Further along another shop was selling it as a collectors item. Whatever, it's staying in my collection indefinitely.
