Album Notes & Community Reviews

Riding high on his engineering success with Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons assembled a vast collective of session musicians for this phenomenally ambitious debut concept album. Drawing directly from the macabre literature of Edgar Allan Poe, the record is a remarkably lush, deeply mysterious progressive rock journey featuring incredibly epic, beautifully melodic symphonic arrangements.
