The Alan Parsons Project is a British rock group, founded by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. The group is based on a number of regular group members such as Stuart Elliot and Ian Bairnson, complemented with varying lead vocals such as Colin Blunstone (the Zombies), Chris Rainbow and Gary Brooker (Procol Harum). But in spite of the changing composition the band consistently plays high quality symphonic rock. The group is well known for its concept albums that cover themes such as Edgar Allan Poe, Gaudi or Freud.

Eric Woolfson wrote most of the music and lyrics while Alan Parsons overviewed the production process. Prior to starting his Project, Parsons worked as an engineer with names such as the Beatles (Abbey Road, the Get Back roofttop concert) and Pink Floyd (Dark Side Of The Moon, Atom Heart Mother).

The NBA’s Chicago Bulls used the beginning of the Parson’s track “Sirius” as their opening lineup music during the Michael Jordan years. It is now no longer in use by the NBA Chicago Bulls.

Since the 1990s Alan Parsons has been performing live shows, touring all over the world, but without Eric Woolfson.

I always hoped that one day Eric and Alan would do another Project album together. Sadly they never will now. The Project would never have been as brilliant as it is without Eric's input, but he will live on through his marvellous legacy. Thank you Eric and rest in peace.
