Upcoming The Alan Parsons Project Tour
△Exciting news for fans as the iconic third APP album, 'Pyramid,' is set for reissue on August 23rd - Available in a variety of formats including a Super Deluxe Box Set, and remastered LP and CD. Renowned engineer and producer Alan Parsons, joined by the accomplished songwriter and lyricist Eric Woolfson, established The Alan Parsons Project in 1976. The duo embarked on a remarkable journey, crafting a distinctive sound characterised by concept albums, often drawing inspiration from literary giants like Poe and Asimov. Enlisting a rotating lineup of session musicians, they cultivated a dynamic musical landscape that resonated with audiences. Their magnum opus, 'Eye in the Sky,' released in 1982, catapulted them to unparalleled success. Over the span of their career, The Alan Parsons Project released a prolific catalogue of 10 studio albums, most of which went gold or platinum and each was a testament to their innovative approach and artistic integrity. Despite concluding their recording endeavours after the release of 'Gaudi' in 1987, The Alan Parsons Project's influence endures, with their music continuing to be used in films (Oscar winning ‘A Fantastic Woman’, ‘Air’, ‘Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs), TV shows (including Ted Lasso, The Simpsons and New Girl) adverts (most recently the Deadpool3 trailer at the Super Bowl), and it has also been sampled by many rap artists including Jay-Z, Slaughterhouse and Lil Wayne.
