To my surprise it even has higher rating here than Pyramid (1978), one of my personal favourites. 'Freudiana' (1990): PARSONS and WOOLFSON planned an album called 'Freudiana', about the psychiatrist Sigmund Freud.Īfter the disappointing album Eve (1979) the Project released The Turn of a Friendly Card (1980), which is much more 'Gaudi' (1987): This album was inspired by the life and works of Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926), a Catalan architect whose grand conception, The Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona.

'Stereotomy (1985)': The word Stereotomy comes from Poe's 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue'. 'Vulture Culture' (1984): 'an unsparing look at modern society, at contemporary relationships and the business of popular culture.' 'Ammonia Avenue' (1984): The title track was inspired in part by a Petro-Chemical plant in Middlesborough, England. 'Eye in the Sky' (1982): 'a cautionary tale about the loss of individualism.' It's tied up with Monte Carlo, gambling there and taking risks generally.' 'The Turn of a Friendly Card' (1980): 'a reflection of something that was going on in my subconscious. 'Pyramid' (1978): 'Pyramid' examined the power of ancient myths. 'I Robot' (1977): The story of the rise of machine and the decline of man, which paradoxically coincided with his discovery of the wheel. 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination' (1975): The theme of this album is inspired by he works of Edgar Allen Poe. Additionally, Andrew POWEL joined the project in 1976 as musical arranger. He creates the concept, writes some of the music and hires the artists, while WOOLFSON writes the lyrics, some of the music and sings on many tracks.

(PARSONS does play keyboard and sings on some tracks.). Along with songwriter Eric WOOLFSON, PARSONS created a series of 10 (and counting) albums of progressive rock, employing a rotating cast of session musicians to do most of the performing. The ALAN PARSONS PROJECT is a 'project' of acclaimed English producer Alan PARSONS, best known for his works with The BEATLES's 'Abbey Road' and PINK FLOYD's 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Formed in 1975 - Somehow active until 1990 (last record release in 1987)
