I remember in high school when this came out, the book "1984" was quite popular and many people thought that the eye in the sky was referring to Big Brother from the book.

Fun fact: The intro to Eye in the Sky, also known as Sirius, was the entrance music for the Chicago Bulls during the Michael Jordan era. Also, Eye in the Sky was the biggest hit for The Alan Parsons Project, spending 3 weeks at #3 and 17 weeks in the BILLBOARD Top Forty in 1982.

[@cosmocassidy420]

Yep. Whenever I hear this I can only hear "Michael Jorden!"

[@oskarobit]

Not an intro but the first song in the album.

[@jameswilson7790]

@oskarobit I know what you're saying. It's just like Eruption and then the remake of You Really Got Me from the debut album by Van Halen. Even though they are separate song titles, many people consider them intro songs because the intro is an instrumental, unlike We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions by Queen from the album News of the World.

[@willfromyadkinville]

"Wouldn't Wamt To Be Like You" is another great one as well as "Games People Play".

[@robertcampopiano6001]

According to Alan Parsons, it’s about the ubiquity of surveillance cameras (even more relevant now), along referring to the surveillance cameras in casinos, commonly referred to as the “Eye in the Sky”. The lyrics “I am the Eye in the Sky”/Looking at you/I can read your mind/The maker of rules/Dealing with fools/I can cheat you blind…” is the best description of a casino I’ve ever heard.

[@ferdnerkel]

It's also the goal of any surveillance state, the like of which can bee seen in the CCP, in China and it's the hopes of the UN's 15 minute city program.

[@trixlee5102]

The great guitarist Ian Bairnson died last year. Such a tasteful guitarist who knew just what to play. The ending solo on this track is just perfect.

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

Check out "(The System of) Dr. Tarr And Professor Fether" from The Alan Parsons Project's 1976 debut album "Tales of Mystery And Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe", which has a more progressive vibe than heard in their later work. The lyrical and musical themes of this album are retellings of horror stories and poetry by Edgar Allan Poe. An impressive listen!

[@n5iln]

Alan Parsons also engineered for Procol Harum and Al Stewart. He's responsible for adding the saxophone part to Stewart's "Year Of The Cat". The very first Alan Parsons Project album was "Tales of Mystery and Imagination", inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe. He also wrote and recorded the music for the movie "Ladyhawke", starring Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick, and (a then-unknown) Michelle Pfeiffer. Parsons is still writing, recording, and performing, although he has some mobility issues...not surprising for a man his size and age. I saw him live just a couple of months ago. Look for a track from his (I believe) most recent album, a performance called "One Note Symphony".

[@bishdizzle67]

It starts out with Sirius and then melds to Eye In The Sky.

[@lesliespeck8717]

Most famously the intro to the Chicago Bulls.

[@waynedavenport6053]

He is just the best, and he is still putting out albums, and touring. He has a DVD of his concert in Colombia a few years back that is worth watching!

[@raycewilliams3300]

Alan Parsons did cop to a 1984 association on the album as a whole, telling Top 2000 a gogo: "We wanted to base the album on the sort of concept of big brother is watching you - there's always a camera watching you, there's always a helicopter in the sky overseeing you, and you can read a line of small newspaper print from space."

[@brianorzel1873]

One of my favorite Alan Parsons Project songs is "Old and Wise"...

[@TheNotedHero]

I was only five or six when this came out, so it's baked into my mind as one of those maximum nostalgia songs for me. The quality of it is one of the highest from a sound mixing and arrangement perspective, I doubt I'll ever get sick of hearing it.

[@RichardinNC1]

Alan Parsons Project was one of my favorite ‘bands’ for years. Turn of a Friendly Card is great all the way through. We used it to test stereo systems in the 80s. Try Anything Once is another great album with Three of Me, Turn It Up, Jigue, and Mr Time. They are not well known but still great tunes. Don’t forget Silence & I and Psychobabble from this album.

[@kallsop2]

Been a fan of Alan Parsons Project since 1976 when Tales Of Mystery And Imagination came out and honestly there is not a bad track in any of the first 10 albums. All of them are concept albums so they are all distinct from each other. IIRC the Album Eye In The Sky was the first straight to digital recording which I think helps create that crispness. It was overly mixed and dubbed. On a side note, back in 1982 when this was released, it wasn't rolled out everywhere at once. I was in Dallas Texas in June of 82 when I first heard it and when I got back home a day later, it was still a week or so before it was released in Oklahoma.

[@lamusicanuncamuere]

That intro is called Sirius. Composed by Alan Parsons and the great Eric Woolfson

[@greggb5226]

This song makes most sense to me if you look at it as the eye in the sky being your inner moral self and comparing it to the thoughts and actions (maybe your non-moral self) you actually take. Sort of a conversation between the good part of you and the fool part of you.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

The Eye is The Satellite watching every move you make.. Sirus is the name of the Intro

[@markjustice7894]

And that ladies and gentlemen, is why the 80s rule. Supposedly the inspiration was from noticing the cameras in the ceiling of a casino watching for card counters. Also about relationships. The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing gets me every time. And it sounded just like this in 1982.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Ah, I thought always it was about satellite surveillance, maybe because of the word sky and heaving read many scifi novels (remember The Anarchistic Colossus by A.E. Van Vogt?)

[@chuckwhite3176]

Sounds just as good now as when I first heard it on the radio in high school. Parsons is a master at sound crafting with his audio mixes.

This could easily be mistaken for a Pink Floyd song. The singer has a very similar tone to David Gilmour's vocals. Even the guitar sounds Gilmour-esque. "The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing" is one of the best lyric lines ever. So relatable.

"Games People Play" is greatness!

[@sueingram5157]

Eric Woolfson sings vocals on this song. He had a fascination with all the hidden video cameras in the Vegas Casinos ,he would sit and try and figure out where the cameras were at. The cameras in all of the casinos are called Eye In The Sky!❤

[@sueingram5157]

I'm the maker of rules , dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind, I am the eye in the sky is about all the cameras in the casinos, the eye in the sky is basically the person behind the cameras watching the casino games & the card tables in casino.

The Alan Parsons Project isn't so much a band as it is a... I guess it' in the name. Parsons brings various musicians and vocalists to the Project to create his concepts.

[@toddmathers5075]

I flew across the country on a business trip from Vancouver to Toronto back in 1999 and was staying at the Inn on the Park hotel (since been torn down, but used to be owned by Four Seasons). I'd had a long delay and it's a long flight anyway and I was probably looking a bit ragged. I got to the hotel at around 8pm and there was only one person working the check-in line desk and there had to be 15-20 people in front of me, so I settled in for another wait. While I was standing there, I heard the guy talking to the check-in agent say "Mr. Parsons". Didn't click, but as I looked to my left. standing against a column was Alan Parsons...I was a passive fan but recognized him immediately. He looked at me at the same time and I think saw that I was pretty wiped after a long day. He went up to who I assume was his manager talking to the front desk agent and told him to let me go ahead. He never said a word to me and it's really just a simple blip in life, but I've remembered it and it was a generous thing for him to do. (If you ever react to Elvis Costello, I have a Elvis Costello & Diana Krall travel story as well).

The bass line and sax of this song is epic, the various effects, synth, chimes, chorus, all unique and special. Short and sweet. ...You might think of a haunting sound track for a Sergio Leone spaghetti western or a scene build-up for an old gunfight. Very dramatic. ...Love your analysis, you are both terrific.

Love your reactions as always. Good perspective on Alan's work with the Beatles & Pink Floyd. Another song(instrumental) that was used in a sports context is "Zero to Sixty in Five", by Pablo Cruise, a California band, but the piano and guitar solos are just stunning to me. The remastered version is good, and they have a later live version that runs just as hard, but includes a bass solo too. Thanks so much 👍😁
