The Alan Parsons Project Essentials

The Alan Parsons Project Essentials

Art-rockers Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson bridged the ‘70s and ‘80s with a dynamic mixture of classic rock ‘n' roll and high-tech studio experiments. Ambitious conceptual works like 1976's “The Raven,” from a collection of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, show their grounding in prog rock's multi-part epics, but by 1977's “I Robot” they're on to synth experiments and disco beats. They'd truly find their sound with “Games People Play” and “Eye in the Sky,” whose sleek grooves, slick production sheen, and dizzying vocal harmonies strike a balance between virtuoso chops and New Wave futurism.
