At the time, the film industry began promoting directors like Hitchcock and Kubrick more than the actors who starred in their films similarly, Woolfson believed that music producers held similar visionary clout. Eventually growing frustrated with helping other artists achieve their creative visions, the two began to collaborate as The Alan Parsons Project – with ample expert assistance. Composer Woolfson was working as a session pianist, while Parsons had already racked up an impressive resumé serving as assistant engineer on The Beatles' Abbey Road and Let It Be, and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Core members Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson met at Abbey Road Studios in the summer of 1974. The richly textured pop music of The Alan Parsons Project has been described by music critics as "progressive pop" – and it's as apt a label as any for the band's intriguing, dense, and yet still Top-40 friendly catalog.
