The Alan Parsons Project - Sirius (promo experimental)

[dogboner2001]

Nicely done, Sir! I could see this used as an introduction to AP's "Live Project" tour. Especially enjoyed the animated LP covers.

[USAHavana]

BEYONG GREATNESS THERE IS THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT!

[poetasintintas]

Impresionante tu trabajo Eduardo, nadie que se precie de amante de la buena música debería perderse de escuchar en algún momento de su vida a estos maestros del sonido y a estos grandes músicos. Genial // Freddy

[EVELYNEMIL]

Great images and sound!!!. Well done!.

[EduardoVivona]

@EVELYNEMIL Those words are very important to me, because came from a great director like you.

Thank you so much!

[VaninaMiller]

Excelente video, muy original y muy fiel al estilo APP, sin dudas es uno de los mejores videos de usuarios que haya visto nunca.

PD: ¿Me parece a mi o Giorgio (urbania) se nos puso un poco necio?

Vamos muchachos, media pila!

[DaminaValia]

¡Que buen video, muy profesional y enigmatico, me encanta!

[urbania70]

Great job as always. I noticed various things as Orson Welles in the initial "Radio kaos", the Pyramid in the Horus Eye and the active TV in the Pyramid cover.

Re description, I don't think EitS was done with leftovers from TTOAFC, and I'm pretty sure it's not, as the two albums were recorded in different places (FC in Paris while they lived in Montecarlo, EitS in Abbey Rd), although it's true that the initial inspiration for the EitS concept was also casinos.

[EduardoVivona]

@urbania70 You got "eagle eye" to find details Giorgio! Thank you so much!

About description it's true (I read it and ear it many times) Eye in the sky was made with some pieces written by Eric for TTOAFC, even more (actually don't know) Eric wants to make a double disc (?) with TTOAFC.

This is the kind of mystery that is always generated by hermetic bands like AAP :)

[urbania70]

@EduardoVivona One thing is Eric's writing, another is recording. From the way you wrote in description it seems you refer to the recording which was made in different times and places, as from liner notes.

[EduardoVivona]

A piece of paper with a song is material too, it is so important as recording (may be more, is the begining of all). Alan and Eric had a particular task producing the material they do best, so if we have 4 or just 1 song leftover and we use that songs and idea for a new album we talk of previous mat, our new album will be made with leftover song, leftover material.

I never said recordings, never mention that word, is just your personal interpretation.

Have a great 2011, friend!

[urbania70]

@EduardoVivona The term "making" for an album is meant by the most people as recording it. Including Eric and Alan which, in many interviews, used the term in that sense. Even about the writing, I read tons of interviews to Eric and never saw he saying he wrote EitS with leftover material from FC, neither for a single song. If you have such an official source then please send it in.

The reality is, it seems to me you're not able to admit you wrote a wrong information.

Happy New Year too

[EduardoVivona]

Giorgio, I think this conversation is taking a wrong way and sure we don't want it.

I will not admit a wrong info bassed on presumptions, it seems a little high.

Again and maintain; both the recordings and the songs are "made it" and "manufactured", are essential part of the "making" (come on, Giorgio! you are a great musician) I wrote an example, you can accept it or not.

Try on wiki spanish "Eric Woolfson", this is an official source.

[EduardoVivona]

Part 1

A Fact:

Reporter: "Sabemos que Eye in the Sky fue el resultado de canciones que no queríais incluir en el The Turn of a Friendly Card y se convirtió en un gran éxito por el mismo. Como los temas de este album último, no han sido incluidas en los anteriores, ¿crees que os puede pasar lo mismo y este ser un bombazo?"

Woolfson: "Sería bueno, espero de verdad que así sea"

Your friend and you did NOT read the interview (MS gives you the link)

[EduardoVivona]

Part 2

More Facts.

Wikipedia: "Fue sin embargo con Eye in the Sky (1982) donde Alan y Eric llegan a la cúspide de su popularidad, un álbum enteramente realizado con ideas sobrantes de su trabajo anterior The Turn of a Friendly Card (1980) y que basa su concepto en la vigilancia y la falta de privacidad"

Happy days: "El álbum EYE IN THE SKY se construyó con lo que sobró del anterior".

[EduardoVivona]

Part 3

You wanted a link and have 4, wanted something official and have Wikipedia and an interview with EW himself (very good by the way).

Giorgio, this is pure evidence, if you ignore it does not mean it's not true, if you collect interviews there you have one you miss it, another thing is you don't want to see it and that is foolish.

The Spanish press is very reliable in terms of APP, is a country of Parsonian and made really good notes you've probably never seen.

[EduardoVivona]

Everyone has a "expert friend" (I am a big friend of Henry Mullins, find it on Google, he knows AP personally, I know what a talking too) in fact we all believe so (we need a new career "EW Expert") but that is not proof of anything.

You say you contact (just contact) to the family (probably after EW pass by to give condolences) Did you asked specifically about this topic? What a coincidence! Please, ask to the familly.

You based on a hunch, a friend and a "contact", discarding all the rest.

[EduardoVivona]

Part 4

I am not able to admit a wrong or you do not accept what you ignore?

Is not a sin ignore it, you will always find new info in places like this.

My friends do not defend "a point of view", are defending a fact, and this fact is not based on Wikipedia and this particular interview, we know this before apears Internet , we know it by radio, magazines and TV.

So hard is for you say "I will try to find out, I will try to investigate"?

[EduardoVivona]

Part 5

NO, "Wikipedia is wrong, you are wrong, I never heard that, I do not think so" ... and so on.

Millions of people are wrong simply because of that? Not my friend.

This is not personal, in fact do not involves you in anything, we affirm something we know (with evidence) and you just deny according to your criteria.

It's rare that you don't want to waste time on a site created to waste it, is part of the fun, because this is fun Giorgio.

Keep in touch.

[urbania70]

@EduardoVivona I'd have various things to say about but basically your tone has been provocative and offensive here and this ends the conversation.

[EduardoVivona]

Come on, Giorgio! Offensive?! Provocative?! PLEASE READ carefully (remember when I missunderstood one of you letters?).

You say "you not able to admit and error", "we are wrong because you know and we not", "friends deffending a point of view" (using the word "friend" with a little sarcasm) and now you say I am offensive? I just deffending my self, nothing more, and deffending with info, please be kind and show my offens, if it exist, right now I ask you forgive me.

[MsCalandro]

some time ago I was automatically expelled from the APP group that you had managed, was after making a comment about how little distressed AP appears after his colleague dead (something that other users share) I never said anything about that, not even mentioned to Eduardo because he holds you as a friend, but since that day I realized that you not tolerate very well opinion that are different to yours, comments including.

urbania, you take this personal, pride is more offensive than own insult.

[DaminaValia]

@urbania70 Hi urbania, excuse my english. I think you be a little hard, you not right and the information is fine, may be you miss some information, thats happens.

Be cool friends.

[urbania70]

@DaminaValia See my reply above

[DaminaValia]

@urbania70 I saw it and let me tell you're acting like a child. Don't you see they are showing proof?

First was you, urbania, who was offensive and now you feel hurt, I think the only thing hurt here is your pride, for pride you refuse to accept hard evidence and you deny it pretending to know more than others.

Well, you not so informed after all, was you who offend us saying you know and we just have "a point of view"

Show us we are wrong, until that BE A BETTER interlocutor.

[MsCalandro]

@DaminaValia I agree with you, as you can see, urbania70 delete his comment deliberately, so nobody can see it, where he talked about his contact with the Woolfson family, the world's best informed friend (may be C.I.A), about us defending a point of view (as if we were manipulated idiots), and the infamous "I know what a talking about" (yes, we are stupid informed people) which seems to confirm that this person feels a little bit shame after all

[MsCalandro]

@urbania70 yes I second, I read that before in the avenue.com or some similar site

was made it with some leftover material

even that double disc thing was discussed right here on youtube, but I don't know if it's true

[urbania70]

@MsCalandro See my reply above. I don't think so.. the double album question was about AA and VC. The Avenue site address is theavenueonline(dot)com

[MsCalandro]

@urbania70 I saw your reply and thats why I reply too

"you don't think" because you try to disconnect ideas, sons and recording when is obvious that share the same relevance, the production of an album envolves all that things (material too) nobody talks about recording

spanish wikipedia say almost the same "enteramente realizado con ideas sobrantes de su trabajo anterior" they say "idea" but we know are songs...

theavenue... patata, potato... you understand me

happy new year urbania

[MsCalandro]

@MsCalandro sorry, I wrote "sons" and want to say "SONGS"

[urbania70]

@MsCalandro I checked on Spanish Wiki under both albums and APP and can't find that. Please send the precise link, as if there's uncorrect information there it should be corrected.

[MsCalandro]

I got the links: 65.98.16.106/~tngcons/Happy_Da­ys/Bios/Internacional/Alan%20P­arsons/AP_Bio_09_Eye%20In%20Th­e%20Sky.htm

note they said on spanish "SOBRÓ" translation of "leftovers", on wikipedia use Eric Woolfson

you said you read a lot of interview, well you miss this one to Eric: "we know EitS was the result of songs NOT INCLUDED in TOFC" there is the link: metaltrip.es/2009/08/28/entrev­ista-con-eric-woolfson-alan-pa­rsons-project/
