It is a tough call between Tales and I Robot, but in the end I guess I choose Tales. I find both album really excellent with lots of strong moments. Pyramids is a rather weak album for me, except for the excelent In the Lap of the Gods and the beautiful The Eagle will Rise Again.

Excellent and very difficult question Ivan
I have to say I like all of them quite a lot. Tales... was the last one to explore but I was expecting more. Pyramid has several good tunes, In the Lap of the Gods is trully amazing and my favourite from that record. I guess I have to go with I Robot even if it is a marginal difference... PS I find the Turn of a Friendly Card a very good album |

I Robot, plenty of strong moments on it.

Tales Of Mystery And Imagination is pretty much the only APP album I find worthy. I used to listen more to these albums three-four years ago, and especially liked Eye In The Sky, but these days I'm simply not interested anymore.

I like Tales... the most, though I Robot comes close, and I also really like Pyramids. Actually, although my initial reaction is to vote for Tales..., I've always had a soft spot for I Robot. Damned fine albums, I think. I haven't listened to any of them in some years, though. My I Robot LP, amongst many others, suffered from a flood, but I may have it on cassette somewhere along with Tales. I pretty much memorized the music, anyway.

Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

Alan Parsons Project is a band that always released good albums, Prog or not Prog.
Even if the album was weak, the fantastic production and the amazing orchestral arrangements by Andrew Powell, left any flaw behind. But this is a Prog forum, so I will go with their 3 Prog albums.
Iván PS: I go with Pyramids, the fantastic "What Goes Up" and the even better "In the Lap of the Gods" with full orchestra are too strong. |
