HYPER-GAMMA-SPACES

I have always found that the most interesting parts by far of any Alan Parsons Project album are the instrumental tracks. Recently I have revisited some of these instrumentals with fresh ears, mainly because I have become a big fan of keyboard player Duncan Mackay who contributed to some of the Project's early albums as a session man. I suppose I didn't pay much attention to the synthesiser-driven Hyper-Gamma-Spaces before, hidden away as it is towards the end of the weak Pyramid album, but this track has now become a bit of a favourite of mine. I usually don't rate singles unless they offer something different from what can be found on a full-length album, but I will make an exception on this occasion as I think Hyper-Gamma-Spaces stands out as single, and is a lot more interesting than the dull album from which it is taken.

The version of this single listed here has The Eagle Will Rise Again as its B-side, a boring vocal track also taken from Pyramid that frankly does nothing for me. Other versions has other tracks as B-sides, including the awful Pyramania and in some cases In the Lap of the Gods. The latter is another instrumental that is far behind Hyper-Gamma-Spaces in quality but still the best choice I suppose.
