The Alan Parsons Project stands as a singular presence in late-20th-century progressive and art-rock: not a conventional band but a studio-based collaboration led by engineer-producer Alan Parsons and songwriter-producer Eric Woolfson. Between the mid-1970s and early 1990s they released a string of conceptually ambitious albums that blended meticulous studio craft, orchestral arrangements, literate themes, and a rotating cast of vocalists and session players.
