Eve album Product Description

Eve album by Alan Parsons Project / Alan Parsons was released Jan 27, 2009 on the Arista label. The fourth album by the Alan Parsons Project jettisoned the prog-rock weightiness of the band's earlier concept records in favor of a more subtle song-cycle about woman-as-temptress. In the hands of a misanthrope like Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, this theme would most likely cause great feminist offense, but keyboardist Eric Woolfson's lyrics wisely take a different tack. On "You Lie Down with Dogs" and "Damned If I Do," Woolfson's words repeatedly hammer home the point that women wouldn't hold such power over men if men didn't want it that way. In addition to Parsons, vocalists include Lenny Zakatek and Dave Townshend, and, providing the female perspective, Clare Torry and Lesley Duncan, whom Parsons had first worked with on THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Musically, 1979's EVE continues the trend towards slicker and more commercial pop tunes that had begun on the previous year's PYRAMID, an approach that would flower into even greater commercial fruit with THE TURN OF A FRIENDLY CARD.2008 digitally remastered edition of the Alan Parsons classic album that was originally released in 1979. Parsons himself digital remastered all his catalog albums reissued in 2007 using the original master tapes. ...See Full Description

Great job on the remastering - the extras add little
The instrumentation on 'Eve' is much more distinct and they seem to have lowered the noise floor considerably on this recording. Especially at CD Universe's pricing, this alone makes it worth getting. The extra material on 'I Robot', 'Turn of a Friendly Card' and 'Eye in the Sky' was genuinely worth having, With 'Eve' the added tracks are unfinished and unpolished. With a band as carefully produced as APP, they seem very out of place.

The women's point of view...
"Eve" is an album that I like both aesthetically and musically. I have to admit that the 3 models on the album's cover encapsulate the sensuality of the female 'look'/'image'; but this is just an aesthetic interpretation from a heterosexual male perspective. BUT this is actually part of the concept of the album, too - it deals with the plight of the universal woman; condemned by God after Lucifer's trickery (hence the title track, "Lucifer"), treated like a piece of meat by most men (as described in the funky, sexy - but sexist track "You lie down with dogs"), but also (on a more positive note!) the object of affection and romance (as sung about in tracks like "Winding me up" and "Damned if I do"). This album tells the story of the 'female condition' from both a male and female perspective; it's very clever! The final track ("If I could change your mind") is sung with rare beauty and emotion by Lesley Duncan and concludes the album with tenderness, allowing 'Eve' to have the final say in this story.
