DESTINATION: EARTH
Play The Hits Of The Future (Gelatinous Productions)
Reviewed by DJ Johnson

More fun, thundering surf/spy/spacerock from the 23rd century, brought to us by a trio of aliens who have come back in time to give us the ultimate sneak preview at a greatest hits album. At least that's what they claim, and as they're aliens and therefore heavily armed with those... BZZZT! laser thingies, I'm not going to be the one to say "nuh UH!" Besides, I don't care. I like a little escapism with my music, as long as the music works in context with the story being spun, as it did with Man? or Astro-Man, and in this case I find myself pulled into wild space battles by the crazy theremin and the hyperdrums, amused by the unexpected mid-song voice samples saying things like "I'll take a can opener to that suit of yours and tear you apart," and generally entertained by the entire package of a good band with a clever gimmick and 16 original songs that rock hard amid the reverb. This is album number three for Destination: Earth, and each one has been significantly stronger than the previous. That's good news for the rejuvenating instro surf scene.
