From The New World

Product Information

As well as receiving gold and platinum awards from many nations, Parsons has received thirteen Grammy Award nominations. In 2006, he was nominated for Best Surround Sound Album for A Valid Path. In 2019, he won his first Grammy Award for Best immersive Audio Album for his remastered 35th anniversary edition of Eye in the Sky. [10] Parsons engineered the third solo album by Steven Wilson, The Raven that Refused to Sing (And Other Stories), released on 25 February 2013. The album title From the New World among other things was influenced by Antonín Dvořák's famous Symphony No. 9 in E minor (a favourite of Parsons' dad), and the beautiful, orchestral, self sung, melancholic, almost sentimental "Goin' Home" is based on one of its countless legendary tunes. Towards the end the album gets a bit darker with themes of death in "Goin' Home", which is beautifully song, but then takes a strange twist with Ronette's cover of "Be My Baby" In an age of auto tuned singers and new albums sounding as if they were made to measure it is a pleasure to hear that the old masters are still working hard at their craft.

Older fans of The Alan Parsons Project, will be surprised by this album and it may win some of the older fans over to his new, solo music. The Alan Parsons Project– Tales of Mystery and Imagination– Grammy Nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical It was a bit of a frustration for me that I didn't get all the engineering credit," Parsons remarked of Dark Side of the Moon, "because Chris [Thomas] came in as mixing supervisor… I had been working on the album for a year and I obviously knew it inside-out by the mixing stage… There were times when I thought Chris was wrong, particularly about the use of limiting and compression on the mix, which I've never been a fan of… Although, later, I got the opportunity to mix the album the way I wanted when I did the quadraphonic version."

On 15 July 2022, Parsons released a new studio album, From the New World.

Ambrosia– Somewhere I've Never Travelled– Grammy Nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-ClassicalEven with all of those achievements, Parsons isn’t content to rest on his hard-earned reputation. In fact, he remains as motivated to create as ever. Though he clearly could’ve continued his highly successful recording studio career, Parsons went on to form The Alan Parsons Project in 1975. He credits singer/lyricist Eric Woolfson, the other half of the duo, for being “the main mover and shaker” in instigating this career shift. It turned out to be a good move: their international hits include “Games People Play,” “Time,” “Eye in the Sky,” and “Don’t Answer Me,” among many others. In 1998, Parsons became vice president of EMI Studios Group, including the Abbey Road Studios. He soon left the post, deciding to return to more creative endeavours. Parsons remained as a creative consultant and associate producer for the group.

From the New World is, Parsons explains, a particularly significant title for him, chosen based on several factors. Collector's Box Set includes CD+DVD (housed in a digipak), “Live in Madrid” Digifile, T-shirt (size L), LP (180g, gatefold, Blue Transparent), poster & numbered lithograph A few years ago, when Alan Parsons released what was being hinted as his final studio album, The Secret, I must admit that upon my first few listens I was underwhelmed. By no means was this late career offering “bad” or even “mediocre”. It just didn’t resonate with me the same way as those classic 70s and 80s Alan Parsons Project albums do, which is an unfair judgement considering one half of the Project, and their primary songwriter/vocalist at that, Eric Woolfson, is no longer with us. Hence why while the musical and recording practices of the Project remain alive and well, the moniker does not. This is purely Parsons’s vision.
