Delete Eye in the sky

Another cover, this time the first two tracks from the 1982 Alan Parson Project album "Eye In The Sky". Alan Parsons is well-known for his career as a studio engineer in the 60s and 70s, when he worked as the engineer on albums such as "Abbey Road" and "Dark Side of The Moon". As far as I'm aware, these are probably the two best-known songs by APP (according to Wikipedia, Sirius was used by the Chicago Bulls as their entrance music during the 1990s). The biggest challenge was getting the vocal harmonies accurate, as the slightest inaccuracy is even more obvious when sung alongside other harmonies. I followed the final guitar solo from the album version for part of it, and then made up the rest (loosely based on the vocal melody).

As per usual, keyboard and bass parts were recorded on the M3, drums programmed in Toontrack, guitars recorded on the Ibanez and processed using Amplitube 3. The strings were recorded using Miroslav Philharmonik. Vocals recorded using SM57 and all produced in Cubase.
