The Alan Parsons Project-The Turn Of A Friendly Card (1980)

The eighties began and the Alan Parsons Project was adapting to the new times, and so in the album "The Turn Of A Friendly Card" we see a style that becomes even more commercial, but of undeniable quality, perhaps it is even the best composition work of his entire label.
Like all previous albums, this is also a concept album, this time the game world is the central theme of the musical plot that Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson propose.
With a perfect conjunction between the rock band and the orchestrations, they manage to reach sublime heights, despite the fact that the album is very oriented to commercial sound, the suite "The Turn Of A friendly Card", would mark a before and after in the race of both musicians and of the project in general.
Here are the sublime ballad "Time ·" and the beautiful "Nothing Left To Lose" that made up an album as memorable as anthological.
