This album remains cheap as hell and it's the engineer of Dark Side of the Moon. Even if you go in blind, this will impress you. Excellent dynamics, super drum sounds, some impressive light disco and a f**king Isaac Asimov inspiration for an album about fears of AI (in the 70's). Worth the $5-$10 it will cost you. -
The album “I Robot” by The Alan Parsons Project is an outstanding example of progressive rock music, featuring an exceptional sound in the UK First Press edition. The production is flawless, demonstrating Parson’s talent for creating atmospheric soundscapes. Each song flows seamlessly into the next, with complex arrangements and a variety of instruments that highlight every nuance of the music.
The sound quality of the UK First Press is particularly noteworthy, known for its superior acoustics. The lows are rich and full, the highs clear and precise, and the midrange is perfectly balanced, offering the listener an intense and immersive experience. It’s understandable to be proud of having such an edition in your collection, as it represents not only a musical masterpiece but also a piece of music history that is rarely found in such quality.
Overall, “I Robot” is not just a musical masterpiece but also a prime example of audiophile quality. The UK First Press edition is a true treasure for any collector and an enrichment for any music collection, reflecting the album’s grandiose sound and artful production in the highest quality. -
