Alan Parsons

Alan formed the core of the Project along with Eric Woolfson. He has writing credit on all of the Project tracks with the exception of Total Eclipse, written by Andrew Powell although, apparently, his major contributions were to the instrumental tracks. In addition to writing, he also produced and engineered all the albums as well as playing a variety of instruments. Since the end of the Project he has released a number of "solo" albums and has performed several concerts, spawning the album Alan Parsons Live.

This album is/was released by EVA, the same distributor for The Ultimate Collection, a(nother) double CD hits compilation. Not surprisingly, this single disc is a complete subset of that release.

Andrew Powell

In effect the third member of the Project core, Andrew orchestrated all of the Project albums except Vulture Culture, for which he was unavailable. During his time with the Project, he wrote Total Eclipse and co-wrote The Fall of the House of Usher but other than these he concentrated on arranging and conducting the orchestra. He released a compilation album featuring his interpretations of the Project's music called Andrew Powell and the Philharmonia Orchestra Play the Best of the Alan Parsons Project and wrote the score for the film Ladyhawke. He is still working with Alan Parsons, writing much of Try Anything Once, although his contribution to recent albums seems to be somewhat reduced.

Joe Puerta

Joe only makes the briefest of Project appearances but is worthy of a mention for the sheer brilliance of his 'da da da-da-da' bridge between A Dream within a Dream and The Raven.

Pyramid

From the liner notes...
From the rise and fall of an ancient dynasty, to the quest for a key to unlock the secrets of the universe, this album seeks to amplify the haunting echoes of the past and explore the unsolved mysteries of the present. Pyramid... the last remaining wonder of the ancient world.
An alternative Pyramid cover, taking from a boxed set containing I Robot, Pyramid, Eve and The Turn Of A Friendly Card.
