Eric Woolfson's Finest Musical.......2007-06-30

Prior to meeting Alan Parsons back in the early 1970s, Eric Woolfson had written a number of songs inspired by the poetry, prose, and life of Edgar Allan Poe. When the two eventually decided to collaborate with one another on many of the songs as well as the overall concept that Eric conceived, the result was the uniquely innovative "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" by The Alan Parsons Project. Any fan of that album really would enjoy listening to Eric Woolfson's "POE: More Tales of Mystery and Imagination." The musical centers on Poe himself and the direct relationship many of his creative inspirations had with the actual events in his life. While this new Woolfson release is intended to support future stagings of his musical, it behaves very much like a studio "Project" release. The musical itself premiered in Studio Two of Abbey Road in November of 2003, and, moreso than any recent musical, truly deserves a full production in the finest theaters London, New York, and Los Angeles have to offer. But in the meantime, do not let another day pass without having one of the finest "Projects" in your compact disc collection. ~ Eric's favorite songs: Somewhere in the Audience & Immortal ~ My favorite songs: Somewhere in the Audience, The Bells, & Goodbye To All That

Super Poe.......2005-09-12

Desde que se creó Alan Parsons Project, con sus cuentos de misterio, este albúm hace un eficiente nuevo homenaje a Edgar Allan Poe. muy buen cd

No it is not APP. .......2005-09-02

This is not an APP work and that is to the good. I am also a great fan of APP but must admit that APP has its own style. Eric's Poe is a work that stands on it's own in every way. Indeed only Wings Of Eagles calls back to the best of APP. The other songs are seemingly free of the restriction.

This is album that will be loved by fans of the modern rock musical. Like the "Work in progress" release of Chess this makes the listener wish to see it on stage. The swing from musical style to style from slow and hart wrenching to narrative to explosive coral will leave you begging for more.

I have had this CD playing on repeat for the last day and a half and have no desire to change it.

mixed legacy.......2005-04-24

I bought this work because of Eric's involvement in APP. Having previously purchased Freudiana, I was aware of Eric's stage leanings. If you have the Freud tribute, listen to "Sects Therapy" to get an idea of how "The Murders on the Rue Morgue" will come across in its quirkiness. Freudiana's "No One Can Love You Better than Me" is bit like "Train to Freedom". POE's "The Bells" is... well, go read the poem. If you are annoyed by how many times the word "bells" is repeated, you may be annoyed with this song. These songs are the ones I picked on first because they were clearly written with a stage production in mind, and the ones least likely to please people expecting a Project album. "Goodbye to All That" is another stage song, but for the life of me, I can't get the catchy tune out of my head. Analogous to humming "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" after watching the Wizard of Oz. For that matter, my kids love the Rue Morgue: "Play the Murder song!" they'll beg.
With that said, the rest of the album can be described as near-Projectonian. There a couple great instrumentals, "Angel of the Odd", and P&P P2. Steve Balsamo has a great voice, worthy of a Project singer. "Wings of Eagles", "Somewhere in the Audience", "Pit and the Pendulum", "Tiny Star" and "Immortal" could have been on an APP album and any faithful Project fan would have been very happy.
The pedestrian listener may not like this album for what it is, but I feel that a true music fan and the true Project fan will find plenty here to wrap themselves around and enjoy alongside classic Project albums for many years to come.

"Dark Side of the Moon" Alan Parsons Signature Release
This release is Eric Woolfson's "Dark Side of the Moon". Listening to this CD sent me on a journey. A journey that I had not been on for at least 15 years. When the last cut, "Imortal", ended, I immediatly cried for more. Hence; the journey began for a second time. This time through, I enjoyed it even more. If you are an Alan Parsons fan, this disc should be in your audio library.
