10,000 Lightyears

After three years of inactivity, Boney M. returned to the international charts in 1984 with 10,000 Lightyears. Like Boonoonoonoos, this album was a big production: it boasted a generous array of songs in varying styles and included the Munich Symphony Orchestra thickening the sound on a number of its tracks.

 Sadly, 10,000 Lightyears is a mixed effort in terms of songwriting. The best songs are on the first side, a sort of mini-rock opera about a future where the citizens of Earth are taken to a safer planet by benevolent aliens from a distant planet.

德国音乐制作人Frank Farian创建的欧洲-加勒比海舞曲团体Boney M.在1970年代红极一时，推出多张畅销Disco单曲与专辑。但进入80年代后，声势下滑，商业成绩不如往日。1982年女歌手Reggie Tsiboe取代离开的男团员Bobby Farrell ,不过1984年，Bobby Farrell重返团体，让Boney M.变成五人团。

1984年5月发行第七张大碟［Ten Thousand Lightyears]，Frank Farian担任制作人,并参与大部份歌曲创作，专辑以当时流行的太空科幻包装，乐风以合成流行为主，大碟A面被包装成一出迷你摇滚歌剧。只登上德国专辑榜＃23 (事业第二低)，85年推出销售更凄惨的［Eye Dance］后，1986年团队便宣告解散。
