The Profile

The Alan Parsons Project was a British studio-based progressive/art rock project founded by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson, known for concept albums, polished production, orchestration, and a rotating cast of guest vocalists and musicians.

Founded by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson; widely associated with high-end studio production and concept-driven albums. Alan Parsons is also publicly known for engineering work on Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and earlier work at Abbey Road Studios.

Across 17 DeBaser reviews, The Alan Parsons Project comes off as a studio-driven MusicGroup built on concepts, orchestration, and memorable instrumentals. The 70s-era records are praised for atmosphere, ambition, and sound design, while parts of the 80s output get criticized as colder and more synthetic. Recurring highlights include Eye in the Sky, I Robot, Pyramid, and The Turn of a Friendly Card, plus standout instrumentals like “Sirius” and “Mammagamma”.

Notable Quotes

❝ Rock is necessary in life, no kidding, tell my father, tell him.
❝ This album should be reviewing me rather than the other way around...
❝ Calling it a "group" would actually be incorrect, for the Alan Parsons Project was already bizarre in itself, breaking the standard of a group, the "bass - drums - guitar" triangle:
❝ The surreal electronics of Alan Parsons.
❝ THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT, should buy it. Better!...
