THE INSTRUMENTAL WORKS

Never like too much the poppy sound of most TAP albums. In fact, maybe just their four studio albums has some good sections that I can call prog. However, this compilation choose some great instrumental pieces from albums like Ammonia Avenue, I Robot, The Turn of The Friedly Card, Eye in the Sky and others.

I agree with previous posts which noted that there are some instrumentals far better than some of the tracks which appears in that album. On tehe other hand we have a compilation made by awsome instrumental songs like "Where's The Walrus?" (from Stereotomy, 1985), the beautiful and spacy "Voyager" (from Pyramid, 1978), the athmospheric "Genesis Ch.1 V.32" (from I Robot, 1977) or "I Robot" (from the same titled album, 1977) mixed with just regular instrumentals as the repetitive and bored "Pipeline" (from Ammonia Avenue, 1984), Paseo de Gracia (from one of the worst AP albums, Gaudi, 1987) and the insufferable "Mammagamma" (from Eye in the Sky, 1982).

At last, an unbalanceable album, with some good tracks and others which sound totally out of place. Defintevely, not the best way to introduce yourself into the Alan Parsons Project world.
