Now the forthcoming new album "Hands On The Wheel" - way more rough and rocking and than its predecessor - will be released in May, again co-produced by Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Beyond The Black, Kamelot). Including the participation of guest musicians as Jimmy Kresic (The Roots, Rock Meets Classic), Karolina Galbavà & Irena Morisakovà (Hans Zimmer), the album will contain the catchy singles/video clips "Don't Want Back Down" and the very special duet "Simple Man" featuring Mr. Big vocalist Eric Martin, accompanied by a huge promotion & video campaign of Germany's #1 rock radio station Rockantenne and a special Facebook & online campaign.

A box set like this is something I'd been wanting for some time, as I'd never owned all of the Project's work, so it was quite exciting when this was announced some months back. The Alan Parsons Project is one of those bands that charted - and charted numerous times - back in the late 70s and the 80s, but here in the States their music today seems all but forgotten except by those in the know. This is an absorbing, fascinating progression of albums, and I spent much of yesterday and last night sifting through it. If I had to pick the high points I'd choose "I Robot," "Ammonia Avenue," and "Pyramid." Of course, there isn't really a bad album in the bunch.

On Air is the second solo album by English rock musician Alan Parsons. The album's chief creative force was the Alan Parsons Project's long-time guitarist, Ian Bairnson. Its concept revolves around the history of airborne exploration.
Musically, this album is somewhat different from Try Anything Once and the Alan Parsons Project albums, opting for more of a soft rock sound and a more stable band line-up rather than the funky rhythms, symphonic flares, or rotating vocalists of the past.

Концерт, записанный в Мадриде 4-го мая 2004-го года содержит лучшие произведения, написанные Аланом Парсонсом и его давним компаньоном Эриком Вулфсоном. Это известные всем любителям современной музыки композиции "Don't Answer Me", "Damned If I Do", "I Robot", "Games People Play" и др...

A Valid Path is the fourth solo album by English rock musician Alan Parsons. The record was released on 24 August 2004 via Artemis label.

Try Anything Once is the first solo album created by Alan Parsons following the split of The Alan Parsons Project.
This album features vocals by Ambrosia's David Pack, Duran Duran backing singer Jacqui Copland, Former Mindbender and 10cc guitarist Eric Stewart, and Manfred Mann's Earth Band frontman Chris Thompson.
The album takes a different turn from the previously ethereal Project albums, and seems to continue the directional development that started with Stereotomy and Gaudi, combining rock elements ("Back Against The Wall" & "Breakaway") and mood-oriented beats ("Turn It Up" & "I'm Talking To You"), while still retaining certain elements of the classic Project albums that are unique ("Mr Time", "Wine From The Water", the instrumentals).

Totally Driven is a greatest hits album by British hard rock band Uriah Heep, released on 12 November 2015 on their own label, Uriah Heep Records. The album contains re-recorded versions of 27 of their best known songs, recorded with the long-standing 1986-2007 lineup.

И хоть “Ain't Crying For The Moon” недвусмысленно отсылает нас к самым ранним работам Kingdom Come, тем не менее, все звучит очень современно, и в то же время по-вольфовски неповторимо. Возьмите для примера первый же трек “Two Legged Sheep” – более традиционного номера для позднего периода творчества Ленни трудно придумать. А уже следующая композиция “Not Here To Be Your Friend” удивляет своей тяжестью и драйвом – так энергично Kingdom Come не звучали лет, наверное, десять.

Британские мэтры классического рока Uriah Heep выпустили 25-й студийный альбом Living The Dream. Релиз состоялся 14 сентября 2018 года. Вокалист Берни Шоу предупреждает, что в альбоме будет все, что прославило Uriah Heep: страсть, сила, гармония и смысл: «Группа держит марку с первого риффа».

2008 lavish five CD compilation. It would be impossible to come up with a more prestigious retrospective of the career of this unusual musician and founding member of the band Smokie. His 1986 debut solo single 'Midnight Lady' was a mega-hit all over Europe and stayed at #1 in the German singles charts for six weeks. His solo career has continued to blossom, earning him legions of hardcore fans around the world.

Восьмидесятые... Годы побросавших гитары и соорудивших на головах модные перекисные взрывы парней из предыдущего десятилетия. Годы, когда казалось, что "video kills the radiostars", а ритм-компьютеры - живых барабанщиков. Годы проникших почти всюду евродиско и электропопа. Годы стерильного звука, признанного нынче анахронизмом более жутким, нежели даже довоенные советские песни. Удивительное дело: даже в эти жуткие годы некоторым удавалось создать нечто стоящее.
Бедолага Крис! Угораздило бывшего гитариста и певца Smokie начать сольную карьеру в столь безобразное время! Лишь огневая поддержка старого товарища по группе и постоянного соавтора, ударника Пита Спенсера, смогла превратить потенциально неплохие боевики вроде "Sarah (You Take My Breath Away)" и "Chain Reaction" в нечто большее, нежели просто "новые песни мастера софт-рока".
