Parsons is currently working on his first new studio album in more than a decade – tentatively titled The Secret – slated for release next spring on Frontiers Records. Now, a standalone Blu-ray audio version of Eye in the Sky is available from Real Gone Music. APP was mentioned in “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” and a cartoon version of Parsons will appear in an episode of “Family Guy” in 2019.
Other examples of The Alan Parsons Project’s enduring influence can be felt via sampling by Daft Punk, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar and P. “Sirius,” the instrumental opening track on Eye, has soundtracked the Chicago Bulls’ opening lineup introduction since the ‘90s and heard in conjunction with countless sporting events and programs. All told, it’s a must-buy for dedicated fans. The exceptional collection includes bonus tracks, songwriting demos from Woolfson (who passed away in 2009), unreleased material, the 2007 original CD remaster, double gatefold LP half-speed mastered at 45 rpm, 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo HD Eye mixes on Blu-ray, promo flexi-disc replica, poster, postcard and a 60-page hardback book with essays, rare photos, new musician interviews, credits and other interesting ephemera. Last December, a lavish four-disc box set was released to mark the 35th anniversary of Eye in the Sky.
