Alan Parsons Project, ou o reino da baba-prog:

(e as melhores faixas)

Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1975) * * * * sob a influência de Poe - The Raven, Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, To One in Paradise.

I Robot (1977) * * * maior flerte com o pop - I Wouldn't Want to be Like You, Day After Day, Some Other Place.

Pyramid (1978) * * * 1/2 uma fórmula sendo formatada - Hyper Gama Spaces, One Good River, In the Lap of the Gods.

Eve (1979) * * * 1/2 disco feminista no Ano Internacional da Mulher - Winding me Up, Don't Hold Back, Lucifer.

The Turn of a Friendly Card (1980) * * * * 1/2 - o grande disco prog-pop da banda - Games People Play, Time, a suíte Turn on a Friendly Card (Snake Eyes, Nothing Left to Loose...)

Eye in the Sky (1982) * * * * 1/2 - o desbunde da baba pop e muita inspiração - Eye in the Sky, Silence and I, Old and Wise, You've Got to Get Your Fingers Burned

Ammonia Avenue (1983) * * * * - na mesma tocada do anterior - Since the Last Goodbye, Don't Answer Me, Ammonia Avenue, Dancing on a Highwire.

Vulture Culture (1984) * * * 1/2 - a baba começa a pesar - Separate Lives, Let's Talk About Me, Sooner or Later

Stereotomy (1985) * * * - disco confuso, mas de belos momentos - Stereotomy, Light of the World.

Gaudi (1987) * * * - idem - La Sagrada Familia, Standing on a Higher Ground, Paseo de Gracia.

depois é só Alan Parsons e tem seus momentos, mas raramente me empolga.
