PARSONS BAND, ALAN - A Valid Path (2004)

2008-09-21 07:41:54 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Parsons is likely to come to a change of direction. With virtually all of his ties with the Alan Parsons Project now cut, he treads a more overtly electro path with dance type rhythms replacing more traditional melodic rock ones. That said, Parsons' ear for a good tune is still in good shape, as are his talents in the production field The...

...Parsons would take a concept and develop an entire album around it. Each track would either elaborate an element of that concept or simply embellish the aura of the album as whole. Well, he doesnt really do that anymore, and hasnt actually since probably Gaudi which was over twenty years ago On The Time Machine he tries, sort of. At least...

PARSONS BAND, ALAN - The Very Best Of Live (1994)

2008-09-22 03:53:39 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Parsons plays Alan Parsons Project Given that the Alan Parsons Project was very much a studio project, it was somewhat surprising then they took to the road to perform live. With the diversity of performers, not only between one album and another but within their albums, inevitably the line up here is considerably pared back, consisting of...

...Parsons Project and the Alan Parsons Band; list this album together with the Project's albums in your collection. Musically this is very much a continuation of what Parsons had done through the years with the Project. This album is, I would say, better than most of the Project's albums, however. Certainly, this is the best Parsons album in a...

...Parsons Project would follow on almost all their 80s albums had not yet been fully established; the Project was still at this point a band that was somewhat exiting and not too predictable. There are some Disco sounds on this album that put me off on the first couple of listens. Particularly, the I Wouldnt Want To Be Like You track is one of...

PARSONS BAND, ALAN - On Air (1996)

2008-12-02 18:05:38 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Parsons has ever made - with the Project or otherwise. This album is softer, more floating, less rhythmic and less commercial compared to the Alan Parsons Projects albums. And it is certainly less hard rocking than what I usually enjoy. But the very good electric guitar work and the highly melodic songs makes it appealing somehow This music...

2008-10-01 06:03:46 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Parsons does JUST that Because, in laymans terms, Alan Parsons Tales of Mystery and Imagination is hardly the sprawling epic of Gothic horror that the mummy on the cover wants you to think. This ISNT Powerslave. Its an art pop gem, for the first half. For the second half, its some kind of dull ass art pop...thingy. It also has very little to...

2008-11-01 13:57:38 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Parsons Projects best work. It is also probably the Projects most Folk influenced work, with the inclusion of some flutes, harpsichord, (what sound like an) accordion and mellow acoustic guitar. However, it should not be expected that this is a genuine prog epic. It is really based on individual songs, thematically tied together to form a...
