The Alan Parsons Project – Pyramid (Remastered & Extended Edition)

The Alan Parsons Project – Pyramid (Remastered & Extended Edition)

The Album Notes
New edition with 7 bonus tracks. 2007 digitally remastered and expanded edition of the Alan Parsons classic album that was originally released in 1978. Parsons himself digitally remastered all his catalog albums reissued in 2007 using the original master tapes. The difference in sound quality is amazing.

Pyramid is a progressive rock album by The Alan Parsons Project. It was released in 1978. At the time this album was conceived, interests in pyramids and so-called pyramid power was all the rage. A pyramid can be found on the back of a dollar bill, there were stories in the newspapers about the supposed magical properties of pyramids and of course, the cover of The Dark Side of the Moon (in which Parsons was the sound engineer). The album therefore contains numerous references to ancient wonders, including the Egyptian pyramids. This is most notable in the songs What Goes Up and Pyramania.
