12 Steps Beyond Prog #248 The Alan Parsons One
Tonight on 12 Steps Beyond Prog:
Yacht Prog Pioneers The Alan Parsons Project!
Yes, they grew increasingly commercial and sold their souls many times over.
But they did these first 2 albums, Tales of Mystery and Imagination and I Robot.
There was no yacht yet and the smell of weed and tobacco permeated the heady ideas they contained within these works. Likely due to the work Alan did with the Floyd and Ambrosia, what Eric Wolfsons excuse is remains a mystery and because he is deceased we will never know what he was on.
These classic works will be presented in their entirety and with none of the increasingly labored interruptions that my staff calls "station breaks".
As a bonus.. Pyramid the entertaining but far more commercial release designed to take advantage of the success that I Robot had will be heard. Musically stunted because of the reach down to pop music mediocrity but there are some gems. As there were on later releases but even farther between the bands and the albums.
So tune in tonight at Midnight to experience the same rush that your parents did when succumbing to the 70's.
