Product Description

The Alan Parsons Project’s Most Cohesive, Accessible, and Commercially Successful Album: Eye in the Sky Features Exquisite Arrangements, Orchestral Scope, and Pop Melodies

Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Mobile Fidelity Numbered 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Presents Music’s Hallmark Smoothness, Lushness, and Detail in Reference Sound

The opening track to the Alan Parsons Project’s Eye in the Sky remains the most recognized instrumental in sports – fanfare inseparably tied with introducing NBA legend Michael Jordan and his six-time world-champion Chicago Bulls mates before games, and still used by many teams as an energy-raising prelude. Indeed, the subdued grandiosity, cosmic bluster, and lights-out wonder of “Sirius” also sets the table for the band’s smash 1982 album, whose hallmark smoothness, lushness, and balance reach epic heights on Mobile Fidelity’s analog reissue.

Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, and afforded the luxurious groove space of a 45RPM LP, this numbered version of Eye in the Sky features succulent warmth, magnificent balance, low-end heft, and see-through transparency that takes you into the studio with Parsons and creative partner Eric Woolfson at Abbey Road. Akin to Mobile Fidelity’s meticulous restoration of Parsons and company’s I Robot, this super-clean edition will test the full-range capabilities of the world’s finest stereo systems. In sum, there’s more information, more detail, more texture, more nuance – more of everything to be experienced.

Boasting front-to-back depth, concert-hall-level separation, realistic presence, and bang-on accuracy, Mobile Fidelity’s edition of Eye in the Sky illustrates the lasting importance of perfectionist-minded engineering and recording techniques. Few works possess such a mesmerizing blend of reference-setting sonics and commercial acumen, facets that helped earn the set a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album – and, more than 35 years after its release, a Grammy for Best Immersive Audio Album for its surround format. Parsons’ track record – he sat behind the boards for the Beatles’ Abbey Road and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon – speaks for itself. As do the performances throughout Eye in the Sky, which features Woolfson’s exquisite songwriting and memorable lead vocals on the hit title track.

Bypassing the conceptual themes present on the group’s other signature efforts, Eye in the Sky uses a string of seamless melodies, hooks, and mood to draw and hold listeners’ attention. It survives as Parsons and Woolfson’s pop triumph, full of exquisite songwriting, dreamy emotions, and soft edges that parallel an underlying orchestral scope and prog-derived drama. For example, the string- and brass-laden “Silence and I” alone qualifies as a rhapsodic symphony. The music’s craftsmanship, cohesiveness, and accessibility can be attributed to Parsons and Woolfson’s knack for recruiting session pros who translate the duo’s visions with unquestioned emotion – particularly, the assembly of star vocalists that include Elmer Gantry (“Psychobabble”), former Zombies frontman Colin Blunstone (“Old and Wise”), and soul singer Lenny Zakatek (“You’re Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned” and “Step by Step”).

As with all Parsons releases, the arrangements proverbially dot every “i” and cross every “t.” Each note seems perfectly placed, every sequence painstakingly constructed. Not to mention the narratives to the surveillance-obsessed title track and pulsing “Psychobabble” carry more weight in the 21st century than they did in the early stages of the Reagan/Thatcher era. And, just as it begins, with an appropriate flourish announcing the catchiness that follows, the platinum-selling Eye on the Sky finishes with fitting sentimentality in the form of a spiraling, saxophone-led ballad (“Old and Wise”) that could easily fit on Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here.
