Alan Parsons Project, The

Mr. Parsons once again showed off flawless sonic perfection and delivered a practically impeccable show, in which, alongside some of the best-known The Alan Parsons Project standards, we also heard a few lesser-known tracks that stirred up…

If you want a perfect evening of pure sonic perfection, shamelessly infectious melodies and boundless virtuosity, with some of the biggest rock classics of the seventies and eighties on the menu, you absolutely cannot miss a show by Alan…

Alan Parsons Live Project's Vienna show can only be described as pure sonic perfection, the kind you can only catch these days at a handful of gigs by musicians who've spent most of their careers devoted to art rock refinement and polish.

Parsons and Woolfson clearly decided to pull out every last resource for their final charge, the very tools that turned the band into a one-of-a-kind art rock attraction in the seventies and eighties.

On "Stereotomy," The Alan Parsons Project suddenly gave up the hunt for radio hits and partly returned to their roots. The end result was one of their most overlooked records, and its true value only became clear many years later.

"Pyramid" successfully carries on the classic TAPP recipe in every respect, blending pop-rock accessibility with prog-rock experimental touches, the formula that made them a success story.

"I Robot" is a top-notch outing from a legendary art rock project, one that still charms all the eternal music romantics who swear by musical variety and exciting concepts.

"Tales Of Mystery And Imagination", as the opening chapter of a rich and successful career, stays the best act in the saga of this dynamic duo, just like so often happens with movie franchises, and it's one of the classics of progressive…
