I love Alan Parsons' music. Of all my music, AP makes up the vast majority of it. Having grown up with Cape Kennedy in my backyard, and having been a Mission Director at Space Camp during their innaugural in FL, and having met with several of the original astronauts, this video has great meaning for me and brings many memories from Apollo to the Space Shuttles. Godspeed into the final frontier and beyond to all current and future space travellers whether for real or even if only in your wildest dreams! 🚀👨🏼🚀
Always been an amazed fan of Alan Parsons and his artist friends ever since I heard their first album "Tales of Mystery and Imagination". From then, every album has had at least a few songs or at times all of an album on my favourite list.
I am a Dutch woman and alredy fan of Alan Parsons since the very begining in the 80's and made the best Art with his music on during my work! They are my favorite TOP-BAND forever !!
i''ve met M Parsons in Buffalo NY after a great concert at Shea's theater - He autographed many articles for me - was a great great evening, great concert. We're in 2021, and I always listen to the entire collection. I went to university of Ottawa between 1982 and 1985 and I used to listen to his music - I had the entire collection on cassettes... Last weekend, I was riding my motorcycle listening to his music all day. Love it.
@willakaheels Actually, Alan Parsons engineered several Beatles albums, including "Abbey Road" (1969) and "Let It Be" (1970) before "Dark Side Of the Moon" which was released in 1973.
Good to see local boy on stage! PJ Olsson, from Houghton, MI, toured with The Alan Parsons Project and put on a GREAT show at the Rozsa a few years back. Awesome!
@WakemanFan90 That sounds about right--'96 or '97 around then. The cool thing about it was that was also the year AP finally broke down and began doing concerts. I have been to Genesis, Floyd [after Waters left Floyd], and many others. But APP has always been my favorite band so I was ecstatic I got to go to an AP concert.
Cool Video! The Alan Parsons Project... great music always! I didn't know he was a sound engineer on Floyd's DSOTM. I learned something new today. Isn't that special ;)
4:56 RIP Sally Ride and to all the other astronauts that died that day. I'll never forget seeing that live on TV from my electronics class. We were going to talk to them at the HAM shack in the back of the classroom but obviously never got to.
Actualy Alan Parsons produced the "original" Quadraphonic mix of Dark Side of the Moon. But the band rejected it in favor of a "downmixed" stereo version when it went to production. Check the web there are DVD versions of the re-discovered quadraphonic mix which has been manupulated by an unknown sound mixer ( who knows his stuff ) into a true 5.1 digital audio source with a very high bit rate. listened to it the other night at a freinds house in the dark and it was truly trippy.
Hey, we remember our lost adventurers. The Russians just wrote theirs off. I watched the Challenger catastrophe live. My exact words when the fire burst blew out the side "My God, they're dead!" Heros are those who know the odds and still do their job.
Thank you for your comment. This is my interpretation of this song. I'm happy that you think it could be right. Grazie veramente, e contattami pure in italiano, dato che pure io sono italiano come te. Ciao!
JFK's speech even nowadays sounds so fantasticly optimistic and near-transcendant... back during the space race the sky really was the last limit to cross... it must've been a heck of a thrill for the people working and developping at NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory! JFK's message spawned a renewed hope in the future and potential of mankind in the modern age... but the environmental costs were alas not foreseen.
Adddddd a little purple micro dot....and veg out like broccoli lay like lettuce and become part of mother earth...........work for me in the 70s.....farout man..dig it ..COOOOL
We lost a few people is space exploration. We frequently lost entire boatloads of explorers on the high seas, in eras around the year 1500, doing things like finding new unknown continents, and finding the Pacific Ocean. Magellan deserves a ton of credit for finding the strait / passage through the southern tip of South America, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. But while reading Laurence Bergreen's "Over the Edge of the World", we are told about what a a-hole Magellan was in some ways. Magellan's behavior in the Philippines was so stupid, obnoxious, and cruel that I was rooting for his death. Magellan really delivered for me, by dying for stupid reasons (although he did die bravely). My public school textbook somehow omitted the bad things about Magellan - just an accidental oversight I am sure.
@MrQuimosabe Exactly. And Gaudi was the last of the projects. His next album was his first solo album. He hadn't done an album where he did not collaborate with Eric, so he called it Try Anything Once. then came the album the song in this video is from: On Air. Then Time Machine and most recently A Valid Path. But, as you pointed out, none of these is a project.
My ex-business partner was retired A.F. Pararescue. He was Co- in charge of body recovery. He told me they had water in their lungs; that means they were still breathing all they way to & after impact.
wow- performing autopsies right there on the spot, eh?! He must have had more skills than just para to do those examinations and come to those conclusions...
Great song. It brought tears my eyes. That inspirational speech given by Kennedy to put a man on the moon. Trying to figure out the technology to do it. Trying to figure out how a person is going to survive and react while in space. I was a baby when the first man walked on the moon. From there, the space shuttle, then a fleet. Our tragedies shared. Then Obama in office, the space shuttle retired. In place of that, we placed a man into the women's bathroom. Fast forward to 2021, we have placed an idiot in office to run the US. As a country we have fallen so far away. But there is some hope. We have Musk and Bezos and others rebuilding our manned space program.
@stan67100 telling a friend of mine who had come into the lunchroom at my high school with tears rolling down her face to get real cause there's no way the shuttle exploded. Went outside [I live 60 miles north of KSC] looked up, saw the "Y" of the plume and knew it was wrong and just was in numbed shock cause I knew it was the first civilian that had gone up. I wasn't alive in the Apollo era [being born in 1970] so it was the first launch disaster of my life.
hey I tried to search by myself after reading your comment and the version you're talking about is a B3 from a disc of remixes released in the netherland... Impossible to find it
Alan Parsons my number ONE artist since 1970's. I have every one of their albums. Please tour Australia!!!

The first Alan Parsons album that I heard, was : " Turn of a Friendly Card '. Have been a fan ever since.
It was ‘Ammonia Avenue’ for me …blew me away..Alan Parsons is the true Instrumental pioneer..
Always loved how the Project wove themes into the albums.
I am a Dutch woman and alredy fan of Alan Parsons since the very begining in the 80's and made the best Art with his music on during my work! They are my favorite TOP-BAND forever !!
Mr. Parsons, none compare! You are the engineer of all engineer's.
i''ve met M Parsons in Buffalo NY after a great concert at Shea's theater - He autographed many articles for me - was a great great evening, great concert.

This is great, thanks for posting cldbrks.
The sound of these guys is an unreal experience. Concert in Colombia was flawless.
Great track.... Alan Parsons Project ..... just amazing
Alan Parson. This is the sound of my youthness. Love it.
Absolut geiler Song. Tausend mal gehört und immer noch nicht langweilig !!!!!
Realmente un temazo, un genio de la música, Alan Parson.
@willakaheels Actually, Alan Parsons engineered several Beatles albums, including "Abbey Road" (1969) and "Let It Be" (1970) before "Dark Side Of the Moon" which was released in 1973.
Alan was George Martin's apprentice on those 2 Beatles albums.
Alan parson Genius love Forever beutiful wandeful
I started listening to him back in the mid 70's.
Good to see local boy on stage! PJ Olsson, from Houghton, MI, toured with The Alan Parsons Project and put on a GREAT show at the Rozsa a few years back. Awesome!
Another energy drink, as many of your instrumental compositions, Master.
Excelente....como todo lo que hace Alan Parsons
After 40 yrs the world is only starting to WAKE UP to what these dudes saw coming before we did. :)
Excellent!! he is genesis. long live
Alan Parsons with JFK on lead vocals . Hard to top !!👍
Your the nuts LF ok
Excellent job Cloudbreak. The first time I heard this song, it gave me chills. The video is just awesome.
Always been a toss up for me between this and "Brother Up in Heaven" as to which is my favorite song on this CD. Nice post.
Aunque no lo parezca esa canción pertenece al album de Alan Parsons On Air, de 1997
Que genios de la música electrónica,pioneros absolutos!
Alan Parsons’s is the man
I REMEMBER THE CHALLENGER DISASTER, JANUARY 28, 1986. SAW IT FROM 85 MILES AWAY
@WakemanFan90 That sounds about right--'96 or '97 around then. The cool thing about it was that was also the year AP finally broke down and began doing concerts. I have been to Genesis, Floyd [after Waters left Floyd], and many others. But APP has always been my favorite band so I was ecstatic I got to go to an AP concert.
Together with Space Time, just another rare piece of dance of Alan Parsons, among all that progressive rock that did on his history.
These guys are amazing!
Faaaavouriteeedd.
Awesome song - love Ian Bairnson's ripping guitar solo....
In the entirety of human history, only 21 have given their lives in truly noble efforts.
Apollo 1, Soyuz, Challenger & Columbia
love this track.
Yes, Heroes know the odds of their jobs, and still proceed to follow through. Thank you for sharing. I loved the Apollo missions.
Great job, cloudbreaks. Great music, great video.
Cool Video! The Alan Parsons Project... great music always! I didn't know he was a sound engineer on Floyd's DSOTM. I learned something new today. Isn't that special ;)
I rated this video ( again ) with 6 ( six ) stars....I am a huge Alan Parsons fan....
4:56 RIP Sally Ride and to all the other astronauts that died that day. I'll never forget seeing that live on TV from my electronics class. We were going to talk to them at the HAM shack in the back of the classroom but obviously never got to.
Sally Ride *was not* on the Challenger that day. You're thinking of Christa Mc Auliffe (or Judith Resnik). Sally Ride died from cancer in 2012.
La mas bella música del mundo, compuesta por el único ingeniero máster del mundo en música, Alan Parsons!
Awesome ... many thanks for uploading
Actualy Alan Parsons produced the "original" Quadraphonic mix of Dark Side of the Moon. But the band rejected it in favor of a "downmixed" stereo version when it went to production.

excellent track!thx for posting!
its a nice piece of song this, i believe the CD "On Air" with this song on was released in september 1996!
Hey, we remember our lost adventurers. The Russians just wrote theirs off. I watched the Challenger catastrophe live. My exact words when the fire burst blew out the side "My God, they're dead!" Heros are those who know the odds and still do their job.
Russians are human beings just like you.
We've never been to the moon or outer space lol
Russians commemorated theirs, including Gagaran who died in a non-space accident. Don't be a crude, petty nationalist.
Didn't see anything about the Apollo astronauts that died, and more shuttle astronauts have died - Challenger isn't the only one.
It's going to be Alan Parson's music that's going help put a man back on the Moon.
Una música exquisita
SIN DUDA ALGUNA; GRAN AGRUPACION
Asi es caballero.
Thank you for your comment. This is my interpretation of this song. I'm happy that you think it could be right. Grazie veramente, e contattami pure in italiano, dato che pure io sono italiano come te. Ciao!
Excellent!!
It's a great video!!
Thank you ;-)
AMAZING!!!!

@willakaheels Abbey Road was his first notable work, as junior engineer.
Perfect...
They forgot to airbrush back in all the other people. That would have been awesome!
Great vid!
Schaut euch Alan Parsons ^ live ^ an . Grandios dieser Künstler
Mit 17 das erste mal gehört und nie wieder von losgekommen
Bin jetzt 61.
Wow !!
Adddddd a little purple micro dot....and veg out like broccoli lay like lettuce and become part of mother earth...........work for me in the 70s.....farout man..dig it ..COOOOL
Good combination between beggining space race and today´s shuttles
CHE BELLA OBRA AUGURI 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great........
Just got into this guy and his league ,
Way ahead of its time . And the shuttle disaster plays an integral part of the video if you watch it till the end before you comment
Thanks to all...

You fools you could of had our assistance you e earned our contempt listen
@Varvara10 and he engineered for the Beatles, Elton John, Al Stewart, Ambrosia to name a few.
@MrQuimosabe

Freudiana happened between Gaudi and Try Anything Once. And a damn good album it is.
Wordless...
Genial Music.
sounds good
stupenda.
I was actually on that Challenger Flight...but survived...
EL GRAN MAESTRO ALAN PARSONS
Mi musica favorita de todas...la de Alan Parsons....realmente una joya!! como tantos otros temas instrumentales

Yes, I remember saying to my mate "I really hope they don't let the woman drive"!
When listening to "Aes Dana - Principles of Gravity", I ALWAYS get this Apollo vibes... Go figure

@tooosweat No, it's just a song from the album "Eve."

Thank you, my friendm, but you can't rate with six stars all the video I make.... Next time, please rate with 5 stars... ;-)
Wikipedia says there is ambient version of this song in the japanese release. Anyone know where to find it?
hey I tried to search by myself after reading your comment and the version you're talking about is a B3 from a disc of remixes released in the netherland... Impossible to find it
Heh man, update! I bought a copie of the record, someone was selling it in my country for a cheap price ! Cant wait to listen to it
I finally own it! what a quest for that record aha, I'll try to upload it once I can get a sound card to export the vinyl signal! Very nice btw!
