My personal opinion...the 2 minute instrumental intro of “Sirius” should always be included...just seems like a good buildup to “Eye In The Sky”.
************************************************************8
I was going to say the same thing. In fact while building my 3,000+ recording library I recorded Sirius 3 times before Eye In The Sky. I think Sirius is also used as the into for the Chicago Bulls. Maybe,,, but I’m not a Bulls fan.

Both great songs and Mammagamma.

Check out the live version of Time performed in concert. Eric Woolfson’s voice is even better than on the studio version.

Thanks for that.

I couldn’t resist bringing up Dr. Evil.

Another little known fact about the APP.

The core of the band was the band Pilot, who had the hit “Magic”, which Parsons produced.

You’ll recognize the voice and guitar on many of the Projects’ songs.

In the version I have, there’s a break between the two songs...a split second at the most, but noticeable. I’ve played with stitching the two together to eliminate it, but haven’t gotten it smooth yet.

“3000+ recording library”...I’m Jealous with a capital J.

Sirius is probably in the all time 10 most played pieces of music in commercials, sports venues, etc.

Won’t argue with the song choice, but it should only be presented thusly:

The best Parson’s album imho is Pyramid.

Alan looks like he is ready to kill the viewer, while Woodson seems confused why his photo is being taken.

The best Parson’s album imho is Pyramid.

I do go back and forth on which is my favorite, they all have different concepts, so I guess it depends on what mood I'm in. But Pyramid is right there, my favorite is "The Eagle Will Rise Again". Pure genius getting the Zombies' Colin Blunstone to sing that one. And Bairnson' solo on "You Can't Take it With You" is as good as anything Gilmour has done.

Alan Parsons was doing songs about the NSA 30 years before it was around! He has amazing insight.

I think Judas Priests' "Electric Eye" also hit the mark.

Oh great, now I'll never be able to listen to that song again in the same way. ;)

Nice album, but sadly, I think it also killed their popularity. They seemed to kind of vanish after that.

Or so I thought.

If you like, look up “Try Anything Once” and “Time Machine”. Discovered those many years later.
