Review: Alan Parsons' The Time Machine stands as a remarkable achievement in his discography, set to be released on clear green 180-gram vinyl in a striking gatefold package with a four-page booklet. This album showcases Parsons at his creative zenith, featuring a blend of stellar tracks that highlight his evolving sound. The album flourishes with emotional ballads such as 'Ignorance Is Bliss' and the poignant 'The Very Last Time', enhanced by a standout female vocalist. The ethereal 'The Call of the Wild' and the intriguing mix of electronic and classical elements in 'Far Ago and Long Away' reflect Parsons' willingness to explore new musical landscapes. Featuring guest performances from renowned artists like Tony Hadley and Colin Blunstone, alongside contributions from Ian Bairnson and Stuart Elliott - who are no strangers to Parsons' work - it perfectly encapsulates his musical journey making it a valuable find for those who appreciate his legacy.
