Alan Parsons was an engineer on albums like Dark Side of the Moon (Hence your connection to PF) and Abbey Road. He teamed up with Eric Woolfson to form The Alan Parsons Project. Their first release, Tales of Mystery and Imagination was based on the writings of Edgar Allen Poe. Their second release, I Robot is loosely based on the writings of Isaac Asimov. They bring in additional artists and vocalists. They usually have two or three instrumental tracks per album. Andrew Powell arranges orchestration and choirs.

[@dougnelsin1480]

He also produced Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat.

[@Doggeslife]

@@dougnelsin1480 And Ambrosia's 1st album. My intro to Parsons came Halloween night 1977. I cannot recall the FM station, but at some point the DJ played "The Raven", and I was blown away. I went right out the next day to buy his first album and have been a fan since. Side B of "Turn Of A Friendly Card" is my favorite today...the entire album side.

[@PeterBuwen]

He was engineer on two Beatles albums: Abbey Road and Let It Be.

[@samuelglass6805]

Eric was a college professor, who had always been interested in adapting the works of Edgar Allan Poe into a musical of some kind. Their initial collab lead to APP's first album, TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION - a MUST-LISTEN as you fall deeper down the group's rabbit hole. Hard to find a bad song between TALES, ROBOT, PYRAMID and THE TURN OF A FRIENDLY CARD.

[@gvbezoff]

@@Doggeslife "Turn of a Friendly Card" is a masterpiece and the jewel in the crown is the 16 minute medley on side B.

[@davidfellows2874]

Back in the day stereo systems were everything to us and there were HiFi stores everywhere. They would always use certain albums and songs to show off the expensive systems. I Robot was one of them. Until you hear it blasting out on a expensive stereo system on vinyl and high tech speakers you haven't lived!

[@craigdoriety9798]

Me and my friends would go around to a lot of those stores as teenagers to listen to those systems. Salesmen knew we couldn't afford a lot of it but I think they just liked to show them off.

[@tomhill9445]

So true. Those were the good old days. Most stereo shops had Heart Dreamboat Annie too so they could crank Magic Man.

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

And Dark Side of the Moon was another one they used at Magnolia to demonstrate the fun equipment in the fun rooms.😂😊❤

[@genecase9464]

This album was made back when they made music where you listened to the whole album instead of just a song hear and there. the whole thing is just beautiful.

[@terrylandess6072]

There were a few artists back in the day whom were taking up the torch for a sound which is so hard to describe. Michael Oldfield - Tubular Bells is another of it's time.

[@juliettespain7994]

Absolutely. You mostly looped the albums on stereo. Lol.

[@gradypatterson1948]

The album "I Robot" was originally intended to be a concept album based on the book "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov, but for several reasons, devolved merely to an exploration of the blurring of the line between man and machine. It thus is a bit more of a "themed" album than a full concept album. The final song - an instrumental - on the album is titled "Genesis Ch. 1 V. 32" - the Biblical book of Genesis' first chapter has only 31 verses: the implication being that man creates machine in his own image ... The cover art is an image of a robot (by noted artist Storm Thorgerson) superimposed over a photo of Terminal 1 at Charles De Gaulle International Airport in Paris - the weird "transport tubes" are real :-) APP can easily be as much of a rabbit hole as Rush, Tool, or any of a dozen others - have fun! Oh, and don't get discouraged by the knuckleheads - haters gonna hate, but they deserve their fate!

[@NicknLex]

Loved this comment for many reasons; thank you for taking the time and for your support! :) - Lex

[@rusty9129]

@@NicknLex Like Grady Patterson said above, it was originally intended to be based on Asimov's book and Parsons and Wolfson took their idea to Asimov for his blessing. He LOVED their idea and was very enthusiastic about it, however he had only recently sold the rights to the book!!! Please note the the album title is missing the comma from the book title, therefore not infringing on ownership rights. Also, all of the orchestral arrangements were done by Englishman Andrew Powell. You will hear the exact same type of sounds and arrangements on Al Stewart's two consecutive albums, Year of the Cat and Time Passages as Parsons produced them.

[@Ramoono]

Alan Parsons is awesome, very diverse and his melodies are amazing. I don't know if he's a blocker, but there are no reactions to "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", or any of the softer, beautiful songs like "Old and Wise", or "Some Other Time" and "Silence and I". Highly recommended

[@Ramoono]

Now I see you kept going, great! :) Lenny Zakatek kills it in the vocals and that guitar is so funky.

[@CousinoMacul]

Silence and I is a hugely underrated song. It's practically a perfect song IMO.

[@jwine4145]

A trademark of the Alan Parson Project was to open each album with an instrumental, frequently leading into fantastic song.. such as what you just listened to. 😎 BTW.. my recommendation is Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether. It’s off the first album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Which is based off of Edgar Allen Poe👍

[@historyguy5942]

YES! YES! Definitely would recommend this song BY APP

[@pattyg8464]

Highly underrated song! Great suggestion, J Wine!

En esa época, Alan vivía en Colonia del Sacramento, pequeña ciudad costera uruguaya, y decidió que Uruguay fuera uno de los 4 países en los que presentaría su nuevo disco ..... Con mi inglés básico de secundaria, hablé un buen rato con él y con sus músicos; no solo de la banda, sino comentarios sobre su trabajo con Beatles y Pink Floyd ..... Tipos macanudos

So enjoyed this lady getting happy listening to the glory that is APP... Haunting, meaningful lyrics, compositional beauty, thrilling orchestration and the stellar Parsons engineering--one of the most underrated, yet overperforming bands of all time. PS: after 10 APP albums, Alan Parsons went on to make 4 great solo albums, and Eric Woolfson, who wrote the lyrics and composed the music for most of the APP albums, went on to create the double album musical Freuidiana, about Sigmund.

Alan Parsons Project, well known for working at the PF's Dark Side of the Moon. On another chance, you'll get to react to this band, do the whole "Turn of a Friendly Card" In my opinion the best concept album of them! ...and if you guys want to go to early "Rave-Music" listen to the song Lucifer from the album Eve

[@chuckhutton5087]

Absolutely!! “The Turn of a Friendly Card” is their most underrated album , in my top 10 favorite concept albums.

Pretty cool that Nick mentioned Steely Dan. Their music along with APP is engineered flawlessly. Recommend highly “ Do it Again” from the album “ Can’t buy a Thrill”.

[@andrewmackinnon3378]

This band's strength is in its epic melodies. They make simple stuff sound just so awesome. Great example of that is "The Eagle Will Rise Again" from the Pyramid album.

[@gedece]

It sounds so much like floyd that at the beggining I was remembering "welcome to the machine".

[@unclemeat7310]

Im 57 and Alan Parsons always brings back memories of being in high school, setting light in the school auditorium for upcoming productions, and BLASTING it through the sound system. I went to a large high school, my graduating class was 1200+ and the auditorium sat 1650 people, so not a small auditorium. Loving following your reactions. You may also want to check out Mike Oldfield "tubular bells".

[@williamlucas4656]

One of my few fav prog/techno groups along with PF, Yes, and others. They came along a little after Steely Dan. We were lucky during that era because we were receiving gold nuggets on a routine basis whereas you have just discovered Fort Knox and all the old gold in America and the UK. There’s a lot to sift through but you should continue your Steely Dan journey along with latter Doobie Bros. And Boz Scaggs (more towards r&b/jazz).

[@shawnk7832]

The can opening was perfect add on for the intro!!! Hope it was a beer!!!

[@rayeckert242]

Alan Parsons should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Somebody call Cleveland, immediately!

[@Thecrooms]

I remember hearing this for the first time at about 8 years old and thinking this was the coolest band. They had such a futuristic sound and would listen to them and stare at the album artwork.

[@raycewilliams3300]

Alan Parsons is brilliant. The track "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" is certainly one of my favorites by them. It appeared to me that several of his albums were "concept" albums to a degree. He would often fade out and fade in between tracks which reminds me a lot of the style of Pink Floyd.

[@georgeringley2667]

I love seeing you both listening to this 60's and 70's music. It's far more than a rabbit hole. It's more like the opening to a cave of enormous size. When you get inside the sounds, after all you're in a dark cave, are captivating, enthralling and seems to come from everywhere. Steely Dan, Thw Who, David Gates and Bread, Blood Sweat and Tears, Dr. John (Right Place Wrong Time), Focus (Hocus Pocus). You children have only had a peek into the hole. Keep going and let the dark envelope you as the sounds cause your mind and body to move. Yes, I subscribed. I just have to see more of your reactions while on your journey.

I believe most Alan Parsons Project albums are conceptual. This one is supposed to be about the takeover of technology. Remember being interested in them but hadn't really listened to anything. Then, a friend of mine suggested "Tales of Mystery and Imagination". Their Edgar Alan Poe album. He is one of my favorite authors, so I eagerly checked it out and was hook ever since.

[@bradwatson1048]

I took this from Wikipedia because I thought it was interesting facts, Parsons was involved with the production of several albums, including the Beatles' Abbey Road (1969) and Let It Be (1970), Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and the eponymous debut album by Ambrosia in 1975. Parsons's own group, The Alan Parsons Project, as well as his subsequent solo recordings, have also been commercially successful. He has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, with his first win occurring in 2019 for Best Immersive Audio Album for Eye in the Sky (35th Anniversary Edition).[3]. My favorites were Higher Ground and Prime Time. Oh and I Wouldn't Want to be Like You, glad you played it!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

What's funny is that with my musician fans, we'd often sit down when someone would suggest "Hey, listen to this," or we'd buy it, listen to it, and get back to listen to it together. I guess that's how our musical catalogue got so huge.

[@michaelpebbles6243]

I always tell people Music is like food, you're not always in the mood for a burger, sometimes you want Chile or Chinese or whatever. It's a mood thang. What are you in the mood for? Music varies with mood and atmosphere. So to me, it is better to like all kinds of music, that way you fit in anywhere and can still enjoy yourself. To stay with just one Genre is cheating yourself out of life and the Music world.

[@tedpetry2028]

Alan worked behind the scenes for the beatles, and when he started his band he used his mixing creativity to create better stereo and great switches in your ears.

[@kennethlatham3133]

So here's a rabbit hole I would like to suggest for you, starting with a later song on this "I, Robot" LP: "I Break Down", lead vocalist Allan Clarke, formerly of the Hollies. In the Hollies he sang "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)". Formerly of the Hollies was a singer-songwriter, Graham Nash, who was in a group, Crosby, Stills, & Nash. They had a song, "Marrakesh Express". NEIL Young wasn't in that group yet, but he would join them for their next album. Around that time, he and his own band, Crazy Horse, had a song (a long one), "Cowgirl in the Sand". Speaking of "Cowgirls", on the cover of 10cc's 1975 album, "Original Soundtrack" is a painting of a Cowboy on a horse. On that album is a legendary track you two may be familiar with already, "I'm Not in Love". You were talking about the importance of headphones during the ELP "From the Beginning" reaction-video....well, "I'm Not in Love" is the ultimate headphones song/track. You listen to this and even your MOTHER will look down and think you're back in her womb, not to mention you yourselves. If you check out 10 cc's next album, 1976' "How Dare You!", you'll find on it a long, Beatle-esque ballad, "Don't Hang Up". Speaking of "Hang", there was a supergroup in the late '60's that specialized in wildly re-worked covers of songs from unlikely sources. That band was Vanilla Fudge and the covered song from them I'd like you to listen to is "You Keep Me Hanging On". There's a good actually live version of it on KZbin; I can send you the link, but I'll have to look for it. There! That should keep you busy for a while! Just go through my comment and snatch out the songs. Again, thanks for the F.T.R. commentary vids.

I've always adored.. the way this band enunciated their lyrics. The way they slowly unfold the words.. to make large impacts throughout songs. Showcases their vocal talents.

I bought this album new and fell in love forever. I'm glad it's still strong and being enjoyed by the younger generation.

Parsons is a full album experience for sure I remember sitting in the dark and listening to this and letting my mind see the music you really should try some of his other albums also do y'all know of a band called Hawkwind their album called Quark,Strangness, and Charm. Song the same and their song Damnation ally

Bought this album on a whim in 1977 due to him being engineer on DSOTM and reading good reviews of it, so don't regret it, it's ace, used to love the gatefold sleeve.

I grew up listening to Alan Parsons Project,but didn’t get to see them in concert until I was given tickets three or four years ago.They sound amazing, and was surprised how many of the songs were part of my subconscious, since I knew the lyrics to most of the songs.Love your channel.I just found it this week,and now I’m binge watching them all.Keep up the good work.

[@johnworf]

Yes Alan Parsons is good - although I stopped listening to him ages ago...but I've listened to it all....it's all good.

[@davidfellows2874]

This is one of my favorite albums of his. The entire first side of the album every song was played on the radio and was a big hit.
