Alan Parsons
Project – I Robot
Review by Gary Hill
This was the second album from The Alan Parsons Project. The intent was to base it on Sir Isaac Asimov’s “I, Robot." Asimov was on board, but the rights to the book were tied up in contracts. So, Parsons opted to remove the comma in the title and make it a more general album about robots. It’s really a great disc, no matter the background, though. It should be noted that I reviewed a couple of these songs before on a best of album review. For the sake of consistency, those song reviews have been copied or adapted for use here.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 6 at lulu.com/strangesound.
