I have always loved Hyper-Gamma-Spaces from the Pyramid album. Great instrumental!

I like all of their albums, I will have to start and re-visit them. Smile

03. 4 stars 1983: Ammonia Avenue - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoIDt_C5y1Ltfr8msEF5od-iMxHYEFBEC

Quite possibly the best song ever by the the Alan Parsons Project, but is it prog? No, Don't Answer Me. Tongue

Just listened to Ammonia Avenue today for the first time in years. What a great album.

Tales of Mystery by far their best and Eve the worst.

Everything else is mostly good with a few dud tracks.

I also don't hate Ammonia Avenue, although I think there are a few sub-par songs on it, especially Prime Time, which starts off atmospheric and cool but soon it morphs into a slice of bland AOR cheese. But on the other hand, I REALLY love the title track, Pipeline and Don't Answer Me. Especially the title track.

^ i actually love Prime Time. The one i find to be AOR cheese is Since The Last Goodbye which borrows too liberally from Parsons' Dark Side of the Moon involvement. Last of the good albums. Vulture Cuilture dipped in quality. Love the video for Stereotomy (and the song) two albums later.
