The third album in 3 years, 'Pyramid' by British studio group Alan Parsons Project was a big hit in Australia, and generated much airplay for the songs, 'What goes up' and 'Pyramania' the latter of which was featured on the EMI Collector's Item 'Explosive Hits 1978' and hence forever a treasured part of my musical collection.

I have segued these two tracks into one post. Definitely an albums' artist in those early years, Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson were the nucleus of the group, and were joined by a bevy of other established players and session singers. The 1980's success of 'Turn of a friendly card' and 'Eye in the sky' saw the Alan Parsons Project a worldwide name.

They typify the polished and experimental sound of the era, that thankfully avoided the pitfalls of novelty or one hit wonder status, but still have an enduring place in pop history.
