	The Alan Parsons Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alan Parsons Project was a British progressive rock and pop group active between 1975 and 1987, founded by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson.
		Woolfson sang lead on many of the group's hits (including "Time" and "Eye In The Sky") and the record company put a lot of pressure on the group to use him more, but Parsons preferred "real" singers, which Woolfson admitted he was not.
		Eric Woolfson was a lawyer by profession, but a classically trained composer and pianist as well.

	Biography: Eric Woolfson
		Eric Woolfson was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1945.
		Eric's song "Baby Make It Soon", sung by Chris Farlowe, was Mick Jagger's first production and the French artist Marie's recording of his composition "Soleil" won the Antibes Song Festival in 1971 and reached number one in the French charts.
		In 1990, Eric was inspired by Sigmund Freud, and what was supposed to have been the 11th album by The Alan Parsons Project, soon took on a whole new life.

	Parsons cuenta sobre su sonido.
		ERIC WOOLFSON: For Alan and I, this was yet more unexplored territory, as we did not have an original work to base our songs or musical passages on, and we had to create our own themes, and our own interpretations of these themes.
		ERIC WOOLFSON: The joke about the lyric of "Snake Eyes" is that he's betting on something that you can't possibly win, because snake eyes is a bet which loses if seven or eleven comes up, and seven or eleven is a bet which loses if snake eyes comes up.
		ERIC WOOLFSON: This album dealt with many other aspects of the gambling instinct, and the whole idea of "Games People Play" was based on a psychology book of the same name, which dealt with human relationships in terms of people playing games/playing roles.

	ALAN PARSONS PROJECT Ammonia Avenue review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Well, this was the album where Alan PARSONS and Eric Woolfson finally decided that this is the 1980s ("Eye in the Sky" still sounds amazingly stuck in the '70s for a 1982 recording, which was recorded digitally, by the way), so those '80s "big drums" are now creeping in, with a more pop-oriented sound.
		Eric Woolfson also sung the mid-tempo "One Good Reason".
		I noticed that this seemed to be the album Eric Woolfson seemed the most dominant vocalist on this album.

	The Alan Parsons Project Discography
		Alan and Eric went their separate ways (né lives?) resulting in the end of the "Project." Litigation ensued between the latter pair which resulted in all rights to the work and music of the "Freudiana" musical granted to Mr.
		FREUDIANA is the brain child of songwriter and musician Eric Woolfson who hit upon the idea of researching the life and works of Sigmund Freud with a view to their musical potential.
		Eric Stewart, former guitarist and vocalist for the group 10CC, lends his smooth voice to "Blown By The Wind" and "Blue Blue Sky" with it's gently rhythmic beat and sincere harmonic beauty.

	POE
		Eric Woolfson's 'POE, More Tales of Mystery and Imagination', set for release on January 26th 2004 on Limelight Records, distributed by Cargo, is the magnificent follow-up to the Alan Parsons Project's 1976 debut album.
		Eric Woolfson was the creator and writer of the Alan Parsons Project, who released 'Tales Of Mystery And Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe', in 1976, which went on to sell over 8 million units.
		Steve Balsamo continues that "It's probably the best recording yet of my voice, and there seems to be a beautiful marriage between Eric's music and the way I sing".

	Amazon.co.uk: Poe - More Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Eric Woolfson has made another musical masterpiece with this CD, which incorporates about half the songs from the forthcoming musical.
		Eric has managed to nearly beat Alan Parsons on that score and he as certainly equalled any APP album in terms of the flawless ultra-slick production.
		Steve Balsamo is a nice enough rock singer as evidenced by "Wings of Eagles", but he is not in the same category of the classic APP vocalists such as Lenny Zakatek, Chris Rainbow, or Eric Woolfson himself.

	Amazon.com: Freudiana (1989 Studio Cast) [IMPORT] [CAST RECORDING]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The 3 albums since Woolfsons left are just as good and in some cases better than with EW for those of you that think EW was the backbone of the APP.He was a key but Alan is the main glue.
		Eric Woolfson has worked, together with his 'project' partner Alan parsons and conductor Andrew Powell, for three years on recording Freudiana.
		Woolfson has developed the concept of Freudiana further into a musical (in the German language), that was staged in the early 1990's in Vienna ('Theater an der Wien').

	Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Alan Parsons Project - Ammonia Avenue
		The song itself is half-decent, but nothing really special; Woolfson's voice is as "okay" as ever, and the music suffers from the same mix of high grandeur and bland self-parody that plagues much APP material (besides which, Chris Rainbow's backing vocals are a bit irritating).
		Woolfson actually does a fairly decent job of singing on this one, the percussion effects are fairly interesting, and Mel Collins's saxophone solo is fairly good (certainly better than his performance on "Old And Wise", in any event).
		Woolfson uses the better range of his voice here, with acoustic guitar accompaniments at the beginning working fairly well.

	Fancy Colours - Christopher's Project Page!
		Eric convinced Alan that the two of them could create a band that didn't tour (like the post-1966 Beatles), have "interchangeable" members, and concentrate only on "theatric" studio pieces.
		Eric wrote all the words and music, except for one instrumental Alan wrote, with Andrew Powell contributing his usual orchestrations.
		Without Eric, the "Project" officially ended, as Alan decided to use his own name on the subsequent solo albums, and "The Alan Parsons Band" for the tours he and the remaining Project members did from 1994-2001.

	Medialunchbox - Music : Try Anything Once (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Alan proved with this '93 release that Woolfson would not be missed - nearly as much, that is. It's true that Eric sang many of the pop hits of the project and sang them well, but I really like the new direction that Alan took with Try Anything Once.
		The Alan Parsons Project's last official album was 1987's "Gaudi." After this, Alan Parsons worked with his Project partner Eric Woolfson one last time on Woolfson's 1990 album, "Freudiana," before the duo finally went their separate ways.
		In this case, with the absence of Eric Wolfson, the change is quite noticable but does not cripple the remaining group.

	The Turn Of A Friendly Card: 8/13/04
		Parsons and lyricist/occasional lead vocalist Eric Woolfson co-composed the album with imagination and flair.
		Of course, one of the APP's hallmarks was stretching the idea of a concept album to its logical limits; truth be told, the five-part title suite is the only part of the album that squarely addresses gambling.
		This ballad, floating along amongst sighing strings and synthesizer washes and layered background vocals, melds the adjectives "lush" and "melancholy" as thoroughly as anything I've ever heard, and TOAFC co-mastermind Eric Woolfson's vocals are pitch-perfect.

	AlanParsons: Tales of Mystery and Imagination Oversold Until Further Notice
		It all started when I met one Eric Woolfson in the corridors of Abbey Road Studios in London where I worked as a staff engineer and had just got started in production.
		Eric, who was a little known songwriter and producer, was working with a child prodigy called Darren Burn, son of a bigwig EMI Records executive.
		Eric was, and still is a very good salesman as well as a good songwriter!

	[No title]
		Eric Woolfson remains as one of music's greatest composers/performers of all time, besides working along with Alan Parsons for around 15 years in The Alan Parsons Project, he has touched thousands of souls with his musicals, Freudiana, Gaudi and Gambler.
		I think the credit they gave me was just because we were working in adjacent studios and I was particularly supportive of what they were doing.
		Not really, there is not much difference between a concept album and a musical except that the total length of the recording is 2 hours+ for a musical, and about 40 minutes for a record.

	Daily Vault - February 19, 1999
		Their career was rocky at best, signed to a record company that didn't appreciate them and unable to achieve the breakout success they deserved.
		When vocalist/collaborator Eric Woolfson and Parsons parted ways in 1987 after Gaudi, I mourned.
		This is Parsons without Woolfson but with the rest of the Project, including guitarist Ian Bairson and drummer Stuart Elliot -- and if I can express heresy, it's better.

		Eric Woolfson sings on "Closer To Heaven," a very beautiful, heavenly Project number.
		Woolfson then returns once more for the lovely "Inside Looking Out," and the album concludes on a very high note with a short instrumental reprise of "La Sagrada Familia," featuring excellent spanish guitar by Project veteran Ian Bairnson.
		Aside from Freudiana, Gaudi is Eric Woolfson's last album with Parsons and the "Project" has never been the same since.

	Progressive Ears Album Reviews
		This album was an experiment by Parsons and Woolfson and was supposed to be only a one off project (pardon the pun) But it was received so well that demand went through the roof.
		As a result Parsons and Woolfson went on to record a whole clutch of albums between the 70s and 80s....
		Most of them to my flavor...but this was the twist of fate for Parsons and Woolfson.

	The Alan Parsons Project - Ratings and Reviews
		Greatest moments: (1) "Prelude" to "The Fall of the House of Usher"; (2) the theatrical trio in "To One in Paradise," sung by Terry Sylvester (of the Hollies), Eric Woolfson, and Alan Parsons.
		What's new here is Eric Woolfson's role as lead vocalist, introduced on "Time." (Woolfson would sing the remainder of the Project's top 40 hits.) The Turn of a Friendly Card Suite applies the cyclicism Parsons must have learned from his apprenticeship for the Beatles on their Abbey Road album.
		With the absense of Eric Woolfson, Eric Stewart becomes the most frequent lead vocalist.

	Alan Parsons Project @ Soundbug
		Alan Parsons Project is a British pop-rock group of the late 1970s-early 1980s, founded by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson.
		In particular, the lead vocal seems to alternate between Woolfson (mostly for slow/sad songs) and a stream of guest vocalists seemingly chosen by their vocal style, to complement the style of each song.
		Nonetheless, many feel that the true core of the Project consisted of Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson.

	Alan Parsons Info
		In the end, a (long) studio recording was released in 1990 of an album called Freudiana, based on the life and work of Sigmund Freud.
		Eric worked this up into a stage production, and since then the Project has officially dissolved and Woolfson has produced two more stage productions, Gaudi and Gambler, both of which are still running in or near Moenchengladbach, Germany.
		Alan, Ian, and Stuart went on a short hiatus, but reformed the band in essentially the same fashion, minus Eric, and have produced two new albums since 1990: Try Anything Once in 1993 and On Air in 1996.

		Eric Woolfson was involved in the Alan Parson’s Project ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’ album released in 1976 and here Woolfson carries on his passion and interest in the writer Edgar Allan Poe.

		The EMI vocoder is used throughout "The Raven" with the Westminister City School Boys Choir mixed in to add a distinct flair to it's chamber-like sound.
		With vocalists Terry Sylvester, John Miles, and Eric Woolfson stretched across each track, this variety of different singing styles adds color and design to the album's air.
		With "Time," it is Eric Woolfson who carries this luxurious-sounding ode to life's passing to a place above and beyond any of this band's other slower material.

		Eric Woolfson get his moment to shine in the sun and delivers some of the most beautiful vocals ever recorded.
		While (if I'm not mistakened) Terry Sylvester is doing vocal duties, the backing vocals are by Eric Woolfson, so it's not "Time" that you first hear his vocals, it's this song (as well as the backing vocals on "What Goes Up..." on "Pyramid").
		Parsons and Woolfson (and Powell in his orchestral opus 'Fall of the House of Usher') succeeded perfectly to catch the spirit without turning into cliches.
