ALAN PARSONS PROJECT – STEREOTOMY LP

Opis

Alan Parsons Project is well known for building their albums around certain socio-demographic themes. Stereotomy, originally released in 1985, deals with the way in which modern society molds the personality. In hindsight, a very prescient album!

At the time, Stereotomy was one of the first completely digitally recorded pieces of music, sporting a rare ‘DDD’ code on its first release. The album is coherently balanced, its synthesized and orchestrated songs completing each another. The high octane “Where’s The Walrus?” is a response to ‘Mr. Laser Beam’, analogy of Mr. Lee Abrams, an American radio personality. He accused the band having gone ‘flat’ in their last albums: he asked them ‘Where’s The Walrus?’, meaning ‘Where are the classic songs like The Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus”?’.
