Alan Parsons - Project Discography [extra Quality]

By [Author Name]

Before he became the architect of immaculate progressive rock suites, Alan Parsons was the 27-year-old recording engineer who aligned the tape heads for Abbey Road and miked the choirs for The Dark Side of the Moon . But when he stepped from behind the console to co-found with manager/lyricist Eric Woolfson, he created a distinct universe: albums built around single, often eerie, concepts—Edgar Allan Poe, gambling, robots, the fear of flying—wrapped in airtight arrangements and Woolfson’s plaintive, theatrical vocals.

As Eric Woolfson once sang on Eye in the Sky : “I am the maker of rules… dealing with fools…” He and Parsons made the rules. And no one broke them.
