Product Description

The fusion of Alan Parsons' thematic intentions and exquisitely textured music comes to fruition on 1982's 'Eye in the Sky'. On no other album by this group is there such a tight amalgamation of music, lyrics, and ideas, all combining to create songs that are accessible to a vast audience. Peaking at number three on Billboard's Top 40, 'Eye in the Sky' is a prime example of a fabulous rock song, highlighted by the harmonic beauty of Eric Woolfson. The album deals with the futuristic outlook of how human lives will be constantly monitored by 'Big Brother' and the manner in which man's right for freedom and choice may someday be thwarted by the government, or the powers that be. Aside from Parsons' intriguing concept, the individual songs serve a dual purpose by carrying out the album's message while at the same being perfect examples of well-crafted rock. The up-and-down flow of the instrumental 'Sirius' is astonishing and is used wisely as the opening track. 'Mammagamma' is another instrumental that brandishes the group's trademarked mysteriousness, wrapped in an ominous science fiction-type glow. 'Psychobabble' is a cerebral rock song that best represents the album's concept, while the softness of 'Old and Wise' sums up the threatening result that may someday evolve, with a hint of promise for a favorable outcome. With a powdery feel and pristine sound, 'Eye in the Sky' is worthy of both amiable songs and conceptual substance, something not found on all of the Alan Parsons Project's albums.

Amongst this remastered release is a plethora of bonus material, including several examples of the magical early takes for a unique opportunity to glimpse behind the curtain of the recording process.

’82年の6作目、全米最高位7位とAPPの一番...

投稿日：2010/04/18 (日)

’82年の6作目、全米最高位7位とAPPの一番売れたｱﾙﾊﾞﾑ。誰もが一度は聴いた事のあるM2のｱﾙﾊﾞﾑ･ﾀｲﾄﾙ曲が大ﾋｯﾄしたおかげだが、80年代に入り、ﾌﾟﾛｸﾞﾚ色を持つｺﾝｾﾌﾟﾁｭｱﾙな内容にﾋｯﾄ狙いのﾎﾟｯﾌﾟ･ﾅﾝﾊﾞｰをﾌﾟﾗｽし、それが功を奏した一枚。全体的に当時台頭していた包み込む様なAORなﾌﾚｰﾊﾞｰに仕上げています。APPのｼﾞｬｹのｱｰﾄﾜｰｸもほとんどﾋﾌﾟﾉｼｽが手掛けてますが、今回もそうで、このｶｳﾞｧｰの目が、その後のｱﾗﾝ･ﾊﾟｰｿﾝｽﾞ自身のｼﾝﾎﾞﾙ･ﾏｰｸになったのは有名。ﾋｯﾄしたM2.10は今聴いてもﾉｽﾀﾙｼﾞｯｸに胸を打ちます。

「音がいいなあ！」これが最初に聴いた印象だ。ＬＰで聴いた時より良いような。内容も当時の印象よりも格上げだ。☆全米3位に輝いた②、哀愁の⑤⑩、ノリのいい⑧、素晴らしい作品だ。☆ＨＭＶのクレジットは、PROJECT　を付けないの？

１～２はつながってるんだけど、これはほんとにカッコイイ！EYE IN THE SKY単独だけなら聴いたことある人も多いかと思うけど、これはやっぱオリジナルで聴くべきだね。
