Alan Parsons and Frontiers Music are working on a new studio album tentatively scheduled for release in the spring of 2019. "The writing and recording sessions are going incredibly well," says Alan. "The album already has a working title, which is "The Secret", and it will include musical and lyrical themes that are very close to my heart and my own interests and passions."
While he is renowned for his work as a recording engineer on the Pink Floyd masterpiece "The Dark Side of The Moon", he also likes to experiment with the most advanced recording techniques of the time, and as a producer, he has had a lot of success working with bands such as Pilot, John Miles and Al Stewart. In 1975, he formed The Alan Parsons Project which he has been touring under to this day. "The Secret" will most likely be along the lines of symphonic rock from his early days with guests and new themes which will be revealed later down the road. No dates yet for the world tour but, it will most likely coincide with the album release. As of right now, it’s all still very much a secret!
