When you read the line-up of PLANET 3 then it seems that you can’t trust your eyes.
With keyboardist/producer Glen Ballard and producer/songwriter Clif Magness the band features two of world’s most renown songwriters and producers who are responsible for several hits.
The band gets completed by exquisite guitar player Jay Graydon of former Airplay fame, but also known for his work with Pages, David Roberts, King Of Hearts and many others.
So having these facts on mind, I think it’s no understatement to call PLANET 3 a true supergroup.
It goes without saying that the trio Ballard/Magness/Graydon lives up to their names on “Music From The Planet”, an album originally released 1992 in Sweden only (in Japan the album was released in 1991 as 'A Heart From The Big Machine').

The record delivers high order Westcoast / AOR that lives on a very melodic songwriting and some excellently arranged lead and background vocals.
In addition Clif Magness sings like a young God and even better than on his later released one and only solo album 'Solo'.
“Music From The Planet” is peppered with great songs, in particularly the REO Speedwagon-like power ballad “Insincere”, the super-AOR “Born To Love” (with great guitar work), the originally for Heart written “I Don’t Want To Say Goodnight”, the very smooth “The Day The Earth Stood Still” and the quite poppy-aorish “Modern Girl”.
