Between the late 70s and late 80s, the Alan Parsons Project produced music which was high on sound quality and production but did not pander to the fashionable whims of the period. Several musical movements came and went during this period, including punk/new wave, new romantics, electro pop and "big hair" anthem rock, yet APP continued to plough on regardless, occasionally producing well-crafted pop songs but always producing music which soared towards classical standards of audio quality, with themes which included the turn of fortune, the enigma of ancient Egypt, the dystopian future of I Robot, and in this case, the unfinished (and possibly unfinishable?) masterpiece of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. In each case, intricate instrumentation is augmented with powerful, emotional vocals including such greats as Colin Blunstone and other exceptional guest musicians, several of whom appear on "Gaudi". I strongly urge listeners to purchase this album, and other APP masterpieces such as "The Turn of a Friendly Card" and "Eye in the Sky", particularly the remastered and expanded versions, as they represent a musical genre which is no longer with us- epic, aural sculptures which sound as great today as when they were first released. After all, the man who engineered Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon must know a thing or two about production and sound quality- give it a try and you'll see what I mean!
