The Alan Parsons Project releases "Stereotomy" 1985


The Alan Parsons Project released their ninth studio album Stereotomy November 1985.  It contains some of the longest songs the group has recorded:  Light of the World over 6 minutes; Stereotomy (the single) over 7 minutes and (my favorite) Where's the Walrus? over 7 1/2 minutes.  All songs were written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson.

Where's the Walrus? earned APP a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance - Orchestra, Group or Soloist in 1987.  That award went to the "Top Gun Theme".  The album made it to #43 on the Billboard 200 and #32 in Canada.

I had never seen the video for Stereotomy until today.  Totally random and freaky!  I love it!
