The Alan Parsons Project es una formación musical de rock progresivo y art rock que alcanzó notoriedad desde mediados de los años 70 hasta finales de los 80. El grupo se caracteriza por sus ambiciosos álbumes conceptuales y su sonido meticulosamente elaborado. Liderado por el ingeniero de estudio y productor Alan Parsons y el compositor y vocalista Eric Woolfson, The Alan Parsons Project dejó una marca indeleble en la historia de la música moderna.
Alan Parsons, nacido el 20 de diciembre de 1948 en Londres, Inglaterra, comenzó su carrera musical trabajando en los míticos estudios Abbey Road. Contribuyó en la producción de álbumes icónicos como Abbey Road y Let It Be de The Beatles, así como The Dark Side of the Moon de Pink Floyd. Estas experiencias le dieron un profundo entendimiento del proceso de grabación y producción musical.
Eric Woolfson, nacido el 18 de marzo de 1945 en Glasgow, Escocia, inició su carrera musical como compositor y músico de sesión. Su habilidad para escribir canciones y su sentido melódico lo llevaron a colaborar con diversos artistas antes de encontrarse con Alan Parsons. Esta unión marcaría el comienzo de una prolífica colaboración.
En 1975, Alan Parsons y Eric Woolfson decidieron formar The Alan Parsons Project. Reclutaron a músicos de sesión y colaboraron con una variedad de vocalistas para dar vida a sus visionarios álbumes. Su debut se materializó con Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe en 1976, un álbum inspirado

Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string.
Do you feel anything?
Would you Laugh? Would you care? Would you cry?
But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree?
And the music is a symphony which we play in a minor key.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
So if you are confused and don't know which way to go.
You will certainly know. From the moment we're living we die.
And if it's all a crazy game you don't want to play
Tell me what you can say.
It's a joke. It's the truth. It's a lie.
But the meaning of life is a mystery that we don't understand.
And the music is a rhapsody if you're happy the way that you are.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
