I've been on an "oldies" kick recently with ELP and Gordon Lightfoot etc. and a friend of mine sent me a link of the 100 most significant Sci-Fi albums of all time and The Alan Parsons Project actually came up for "I Robot" which intrigued me. I always loved that "Eye in the Sky" song but I had no idea that they were influenced by science fiction.
Anyhow I bought a 2 disc set of their best songs and I'm really impressed! They're reminiscent of something like early Porcupine Tree crossed with an old sci-fi epic movie soundtrack. But what shocked me was Time - I loved that song as a kid and had no idea it was they who wrote it until today. What a haunting and beautiful tune wow. Anyhow, I thought I would share. Cheers.
