Tears For Fears and The Alan Parsons Project

The music of these two British acts make for a heady mix of radio hits and sweeping album cuts. With songs like Head Over Heels, Pale Shelter, Woman In Chains, and Sowing the Seeds of Love, Tears For Fears’s Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith made music history with their 1983-1996 catalogue of ambitious epic pop songwriting and production. From his early days working as tape operator at the EMI Recording Studios on Abbey Road on the Beatles’ infamous Get Back album, to his eventual fame as producer, audio engineer, musician, and composer of progressive rock act Alan Parsons Project, with songs like Eye In The Sky, Games People Play, Time, and The Eagle Will Rise Again, Alan Parsons created a body of work between 1976-1985 that is rich for the picking with dreamy high concept songs. A magical double pairing of sumptuous pop with art rock, and rock band with symphony.
