A welcome reissue
If memory serves, 'Vulture Culture' fell into the LP/CD transition period, and was first issued (in 1984) in both formats. The CD, however, was strangely lacking in atmosphere in comparison with the vinyl version. For me, this remastered issue restores the clarity, brightness and atmosphere of...

Vulture Culture
Vulture Culture marked a change in direction for the Alan Parsons Project. No longer would the album open with an instrumental track. In fact, this album has only one instrumental, "Hawkeye", which is not one of their best. It's a shame because one of the Project's greatest strengths were...

Not 5 stars for the "APP rock" fan, but 5 stars for many others...
"Vulture Culture" was The Alan Parsons Project's (APP) 8th album. It came out originally early in 1985, and on the heels of "Eye in the Sky" and "Ammonia Avenue", a couple of pop-heavier APP discs. In brief, this is one of APP's most mellow albums. The main theme seems to be about the...

One of the best from APP
This is, easily, one of the best albums by Alan Parsons Project. It's not cool or easy to understand (some of the more critical reviews seem to think every album should be about horror poetry, pyramid mythology, or robots) but the lyrics offer up a pretty harsh indictment of the self-centered...

Alan Parsons Project - Ammonia Aveneue Part II
I have read that this album was supposed to be a sequel of sorts to the previous one "Ammonia Avenue". The subject matter is similar in some ways. I don't think that this is a great APP disc, but it does have its moments. "Let's Talk About Me", "Separate Lives", "Days Are numbered", and "Same...

Not the best, but...
Well, I'm a long time Alan Parsons fan. I hadn't heard this album in a long time and had forgotten how weak in material it was in comparison to some of the Project's other work such as Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Turn of A Friendly Card, and I Robot. Still, it does have some great songs...

Superlative Remastering
The sonics on this remastered disc are a little better than the newly remastered "Eye in the Sky". Probably because this LP came out a few years later, and I believe this is an import from Germany. Hawkeye is the cherry of the set. Clean, crisp, full sounding. I only wish this would come out in...
