Alan Parsons came to light as the man to have in the studio in the late '60s/early '70s (he worked on Abbey Road and Dark Side of the Moon). Typical of the studio indulgences of the '70s, the Alan Parsons Project involved themselves in dense fluff with notions of classicism. "Eye in the Sky" brought the band their widest success in '82, as well as the indefatigable chorus "I can read your mind." New age music and the advent of the Internet have seen Alan Parsons focus more on "soundscapes," and newer releases integrate elements of what is basically Viagra for the maturing musician -- electronica.
