antonsm Inviato 1 Novembre 2021 Condividi Inviato 1 Novembre 2021 Alan Parsons Project - The Turn Of A Friendly Card 1980 (2015) 176.4-24 Country: UK Genre: Progressive rock Format: FLAC (*tracks) Quality: Lossless [176 Khz/24 bit] Time: 40:42 Full Size: 1.73 GB With two of the Alan Parsons Project's best songs, the lovely ballad "Time" and the wavy-sounding "Games People Play," The Turn of a Friendly Card remains one of this group's most enjoyable albums. Parsons' idea, the subject of the album's six tracks, centers around the age-old temptation of gambling and its stranglehold on the human psyche. On "Games People Play," vocalist Lenny Zakatek sounds compelling and focused, giving the song a seriousness that aids in realization of the album's concept. With "Time," it is Eric Woolfson who carries this luxurious-sounding ode to life's passing to a place above and beyond any of this band's other slower material. The breakdown of human willpower and our greedy tendencies are highlighted in the last track, entitled "The Turn of a Friendly Card," which is broken into five separate parts. "Snake Eyes," sung by Chris Rainbow, is the most compelling of the five pieces, and ties together the whole of the recording. As in every Parsons album, an instrumental is included, in this case an interesting number aptly titled "The Gold Bug." Like most of the band's instrumentals, its flow and rhythm simulate the overall tempo and concept of the album, acting as a welcome interlude. Although short, The Turn of a Friendly Card is to the point and doesn't let down when it comes to carrying out its idea. © Mike DeGagne /TiVo Please login or register to see this quote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyDw_zbOZOk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhRzORqNa0E Please login or register to see this code. 1 Link al commento Condividi su altri siti Altre opzioni di condivisione...
