  • AWESOME

    This is more than just music it is a work of art that pays homage to one of the greatest American writers ever. An absolute must have for any collection. I had it already on vinyl but have not had a turntable hooked up for years so this was a long missed piece. I saw him live recently at a small theater and it brought back how much I missed this album, incredible. Thank you Alan Parsons for all the music you have had a hand in over the years.

  • Alan Parsons Project: Tales of Mystery & Imagination

    I’m a big Edgar Allan Poe fan and Alan Parsons Project too. This is a perfect marriage of these two artists from the literary world and composing/recording. I listened to it (decades) ago and finally bought it at a great price on cd. Love it!

  • Reliving junior high school

    I hadn't heard this album in about 30 years. Nice to relive my youth a little bit. Musicians include members of Ambrosia and Pilot among others.

  • Contemplative and Ethereal

    Music to listen to and let your mind wander the melodies ...Orson Wells gives an added mysterious voice to great lyrics, transporting you to Edgar Allen Poe's time and place, and to his tales of mystery and imagination.

    One of the best “theme” rock albums out there for the man who engineered Dark Side Of The Moon.
