Red Planet Boulevard is Lana Lane's hardest work so far. For the last several years, Lana and husband / producer Eric Nordlander have released a series of progressive albums, making extensive use of ethereal keyboard-oriented arrangements. Here, however, the keyboards are kept discretely in the background, and the music is much more guitar-driven. The songs are faster-paced, but at the same time feature Lana's trademarks, engaging melodies and soaring vocals. Running nearly 70 minutes, the CD sustains interest throughout. This is a good release by an underrated artist.
