Nothing like a little Wednesday Alan Parsons to seriously up the dweeb quotient of your week. Whatever your viewpoint on this kind of AOR slickness, you have to give them credit for keeping some genuine funkiness in what could've been the stiffest of studio products. Props to them also for providing the timeless soundtrack for starting lineup announcements at NBA games. Having enjoyed such an event up close last night (and, wow, the Toronto Raptors need not only good players, but also a name change), I'm also feeling these guys in the sweet spring air as well.

ReplyDeleteI love this album. "Mammagamma" is probably my favorite track, but there are a lot of good cuts. The instrumental second half of "Silence and I" is indistinguishable from the soundtrack Alan Parsons did for "Ladyhawke." And let's not forget that "Sirius" was also the entrance music for Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.
