...ALAN PARSONS will soon release a new CD entitled "A Valid Path." The CD will feature a distinct electronica sound while maintaining its roots in the pop-flavored progressive rock style of the Alan Parsons Project.

I consider that Musique Concrete including that of Stockhausen, John Cage and Peter Zenovieff which was a part of my growing up was an influence on my career. In the mid-'80s, I worked with one of Stockhausen's recording teams at Abbey Road. The music of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream definitely influenced the development of electronica and they are still important today. Others have said that I had a hand in influencing electronica because of the production values of the Alan Parsons Project albums. That's really not for me to say, but if I was an influence I'm proud of that." Featured guests on the CD include Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, The Crystal Method, Shpongle, Nortec Collective, Uberzone, John Cleese and Orson Welles....
