THE BEST OF ALAN PARSONS PROJECT

After 6 studio albums released by Arista It's the time of "The Best Of Alan Parsons project", a good compilation. First of all, it must be said that the style is a sort of truly intriguing Progressive POP because the writing is fresh and engaging. There are no virtuosity or moments when the phrase "look how I'm great to play" comes to mind. This is due to the fact that the songs seek more the pleasure of listening.

This compilation is really well done. It has no tired moments or fillers. Rightly "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" is put at the beginning, being a little funky and contrasts with "Eye In The Sky" which follows because the latter is very sweet, like sound and atmosphere. "Games People Play", the thid song, it is, instead, a more Rock and almost not Progressive piece (and not much Art Rock). The rest of the compilation is all about these frequencies. It's therefore very interesting because it's made up of excellent compositions.

In short, the Alan parsons Project were a band that created atmospheres, rather than viruosity (otherwise absent) to conquer the listener. Alan Parson, history says so, is an extraordinary producer and engineer. In this sense he is very good at amplifying the emotional part of the songs. And, with a band that plays on emotions, an immortal mix was born
