Gaudi

The last – kind of – stable release of the Alan Parson’s Project. Creative and contractual disagreements arose after this, and the project split up. I think this is the best they ever made. Lots of good songs here. The album is dedicated to the Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi.

The first song is about his famous cathedral in Barcelona, the Sagrada Familia. The singer expresses doubts if it ever will be finished. That was in 1987, and as it looks now, it will actually be finished. To be fair: cathedrals in the Middle Ages took way longer to build. In comparison this was lightning fast.
