The Alan Parsons Project-Tales Of Mystery And Imagination (1976) 20th Century Records 1-A Dream Within A Dream (4:13) 2-The Raven (3:57) 3-The Tell Tale Heart (4:38) 4-The Cask Of Amontillado (4:33) 5-The System Of Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether (4:20) 6 through 10-Fall Of The House Of Usher (16:10) 11-To One In Paradise (4:46) Bizarre concept album based on the poems of Edgar Allen Poe. Some great, atmospheric tracks here. "The Raven" is cool mostly for those little robotic vocals at the beginning. I could listen to those all day. All in all, a good progressive rock record, and certainly very ahead of its time. Favorite Tracks: The Raven, The System Of Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether |
Prog-rock project of Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. They had success with their futuristic sound and a number of hit ballads in the 70's and 80's. |
