The recording quality of Parson’s albums have always been top shelf, with incredible clarity and high attention to detail of the balance and tonality. Of course Parsons has been a long-time advocate of immersive listening experiences taking quad to new heights with his acclaimed mix of Dark Side of the Moon. Parsons has long been a proponent of surround sound, with his latter-era solo albums including 2001’s On Air and 2006’s A Valid Path each getting immersive 5.1 treatments. When the stand-alone Blu-ray was released in August 2018, I picked up a copy of this anniversary edition of Eye in the Sky, as naturally my focus remains aimed at the 5.1 surround mix available in both DTS-HD Master Audio and LPCM 96-kHz / 24-bit audio. Also, there is a flexi-disc replica of an original 1982 promo, a 60-page hardback book with previously unreleased images and newly penned essays, along with an Eye in the Sky poster and postcard. Plus, vinyl collectors will be please to know the set includes 2 vinyl LPs of the original album newly struck at half speed on four sides at 45rpm at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell. The Blu-ray features the all-new 5.1 surround sound and stereo mixes in Hi-Res audio of the original album. Truly proving to be both timely and timeless, Eye in the Sky has become a remarkably forward view of art, religion, politics and culture in the 21st century.įor collectors seeking everything, the deluxe edition contains 3 CDs which include the original album plus bonus tracks, a disc of Eric Woolfson’s songwriting diaries, and the last disc contains previously unreleased material. The box set features rare and unreleased material, but reviewed here is the 5.1 remix of this classic progressive Alan Parsons Project album available on stand alone Blu-ray.Īlan Parsons created this multi-layered aural tapestry as a conceptual musical meditation covering a range of surveillance systems, such as casino cameras, satellites circling the earth and the all-seeing eye of the Egyptian God Horus. Celebrating the 35th anniversary of Eye in the Sky, Legacy Recordings has released a super deluxe edition of the Alan Parsons Project’s 1982 platinum masterpiece. ![]()
