I am a young airman in the USAF, stationed in a far off land. The music makes me feel so cold, and distant from what I know. Yet, the rhythm draws me in. The year is 1979, and the 1980 Winter Olympics are soon to start in Lake Placid, New York. The music sounds as if it's from Europe, or Scandinavia. I have to continue to endure the music. It is mesmerizing and cryptic. The ballad is sending me a message; not sure what it means. I will survive. I will get through this. I must learn what this means.
Alan Parsons ist ein Perfektionist im Sound mixen. Das muss man sehr oft hören, um wirklich alle feinen Töne und Melodien zu erfassen.Große Klasse diese Langversion.
The late Eric Woolfson has been brushed off of the picture. It seems that people has already forgotten that the Alan Parsons Project was a two men act (plus a rotatintg cohort of associated singers and players).
When I was a child, I saw a documentary about trains on the TV. The steam driven locomotives with a bunch of wagons behind them driving powerfully through the landscapes, filmed in close up, with this song played as soundtrack, had quite an impression on me some 35 years ago. i still have these pictures coming to my mind when I hear this.
I heard Alan Parsons project back in the late 70's, I was about 13. My sister was playing it in her room. Instantly I was mesmerized and taken into another world, a fascinating place in my mind I never knew existed. I became a loyal fantasy addicted fan! To the day as an older woman I still get very fascinated and stimulated in my mind. This music takes me places I could never imagine on my own! Music is truly the SPICE of life, THIS is the genius music without a doubt, without it, we are an uninteresting society. Thank the universe for beyond the plane thinking and imagination of such geniuses as Alan Parsons Project ❣🙌🏽🙌🏽
I've just rediscovered Alan Parsons Project. Last time I heard their music was in the 80's, I was a kid, and never knew the name, so the melodies got lost in my memories. After listening to Sirius and Lucifer, I understand by whom Schiller (Christopher von Deylen) got influenced.
Alan Parsons Project was ahead of its time by decades. this tune, along with Sirius and Eye in the Sky are easily in the pantheon of rock. the genius is in the simplicity and masterful execution. no one can come close to APP, there are only followers, but none of them outdoes APP.
Genios que no morirán jamás, lejos de toda moda banal, los artistas de culto no necesitan reinventarse, ya que su estilo persiste ante todo cambio externo. Desde chico siempre me atrajo con sus melodías instrumentales y sus canciones, con solo diez años era ya un fanático de tales. Grande alan parsons.
Escuche a Alan Parsons la primera vez en 1979, quedé hipnotizada hasta hoy, cada vez que escucho algo entro en trance jajajaja, fui a verlo 3 veces en vivo y volveré a verlo si regresa a mi país.
Oh my God! I was hearing random Songs from the Alan Parsons Project, and on my Smart TV this Song came next!😍😱 I was looking for this Instrumental Classic for decades! Nostalgic Tears coming from my Eyes, Guys! This song was playing on the Greek Television, into some Commercial during the early 80’s! Thank you, Thank you! Many Thanks!!❤️
Solch guter Sound wird heute leider gar nicht mehr gemacht. Das meiste neue ist einfach nur kommerzieller Schrott. Danke Alan und den meisten Musikern aus jener Zeit.
Pues ya estoy viejo pero no inutil.jajajaja y al ver las nuevas generaciones me dan ganas de hasta llorar. Pero al escuchar la banda y el reggeton jajajaj
LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE LA ESCUCHE FUE EN COLLIGUAY POR RADIO AMAPOLA.....HACE MUCHOS AÑOS ATRAS,DE NOCHE A LA LUZ DE UNA FOGATA,EN CAMPAMENTO.....TENIA 14 AÑOS.........HOY 54
una radio de mi ciudad cordoba, pasaba este tema (sin sabe r yo como se llamaba )en los ochenteacomo cortina musicla deun noticioso,es perfecto para eso.
Es uno de los temas instrumentales favoritos desde mi niñez, pero no sabía que se llamaba así, en todo caso no importa el nombre, me sigue gustando.

Hola amigo. La verdad es que no tiene ninguna relación con lo otro...Sirius la estrella más brillante de la constelación Andrómeda es la más brillante y hermosa...aún que Orión. A esa estrella le creo esa partitura. Pues es el Lucero de la mañana para los Masones...y pues Alan Parson lo es...
@@lasteniazamora5381 .Hace años que vengo escuchando este tema, y nunca se dijo nada de eso, en todo caso si lo fue, no me afecta pues era su vida y no la mía, y si creía en estas cosas para bien o mal lo que importa es lo que dejó: la música. En todo caso gracias por el dato, realmente no sabía de eso.
Me da la impresión de que algo terrible está por suceder y se desencadena una lucha entre las fuerzas del mal y el bien.... ¡Y en medio estamos nosotros, simples seres humanos!
Une musique intéressante et captivante avec son rythme haletant et riches harmonies; un bonheur à réentendre des années plus tard car le morceau n'a pas pris une ride (comme l'oeuvre d'Alan Parsan Project)
As a stand alone, extremely well-crafted precision. Yet, something unsettling lies just below its surface. Dante's inferno set in a pandemic- plagued world.
a mi se me saltan las lagrimas al escuchar esta maravilla musical y hay otros a los que me gustaría saber que los mueve a dar dislike a esta maravilla es solo por que su discapacidad no les permite disfrutar o es un problema mental mas profundo. alguno de los que puso el dedito asía abajo me lo aclara...?
Lucifer es del álbum EVE de 1979, que música tan innovadora, muy futurista rompió el sello de progresivo. Saludos a todos los aquí presentes desde MEXICO.
In a former life I was an artistic roller skating coach. One of the best routines I put together used a segment of Lucifer. The 7 yr old killed it and everyone asked where I got the music. Not the first time I used his music. ELP Tarkus probably got the most attention, though. At that time, all the (other) little boys wanted to skate to Star Wars. My skaters knew better.
We live in a natural world . Rains on the just and the unjust. Decide where you want to be after you leave this natural world. For me I've decided on Heave and God.
Perfektes instrumentalische Glanzleistung !! Das Original ist noch der Beste Überlieferung von Lucifer !!! Cosmic Baby hat es auch gecovert , fand ich Damals nicht schlecht , deshalb habe ich mir davon dann auch die Maxi CD gekauft. Viele Liebe Grüße .
Gods... I lost myself in this one. I mean, really -- I know it's repetitive in all areas, but you know what? You don't care!!! You just dive in, immerse, and drown!!! Good stuff, damn good stuff!
This song has nothing to do with Satan.... for those wondering about the origination of the name of this song...."Lucifer is located on the Dakar radio light of Senegal, which is used by vessels near Senegal. The beacon is sending "vvv de 6WW", where "vvv" is a tuning part for tuning the receiver's radio, "de" is a code word followed by the Morse Station Id and "6WW" is the Dakar radio beacon ID. The world has evolved more since those days, and Lucifer "the bearer of light" is even more powerful and brilliant due to technical development and improvements."
Context is key here, and the key to understanding any Alan Parsons album is to realize that each one of them is thematic. Each song on that album tells a different part of the story, a different perspective, if you will, of that album. The name of this album is EVE, and it takes a somewhat dim view of women as being both desirable and treacherous, and also something that men can never quit. "Lucifer" is the devil of Genesis who tempts Eve to disobey God in the Garden of Eden. The Project opens all their albums with an instrumental which is intended to help establish the theme, and “Lucifer” is the opening track on EVE.
The intro theme for the TV version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was the Eagles' "Journey of the Sorcerer". i literally grew up hearing "Journey of the Sorcerer" and didn't recognize it in HGTTG - the TV series because they used that strong crescendo toward the middle, not the beginning of the song as the Eagles recorded it.
It seems most TV news outfit use this as an intro to their newscasting show. In the Philippines it was used as well, the channel it belongs too is already defunct though.
Alan Parsons' instrumentals are the BEST!!

Why is it "prayer" when you talk to God but schizophrenia when he talks back? I got your back brother. My dad was air force.
He created music of 2050 just 35 years ago.Respect!!!perfect 👌 👌 👌

Another take would be Steve Jackson's Brilliant treatise on the UltraHeavy Armored Combat Unit in The Appocalypse... They were called: "OGRE"s(!)...
I agree 100%
The late Eric Woolfson has been brushed off of the picture. It seems that people has already forgotten that the Alan Parsons Project was a two men act (plus a rotatintg cohort of associated singers and players).
Thank you for pointing that out. I think you're right, a lot of people including me didn't know about Woolfson. Thanks again!
Parsons always mentions Woolfson in the live performances I have seen.

Despues del reset
Genio
Que pelotudo
Muy ciertos actualmente el talento es poco y sobre explotado.
Feliz cumpleaños Gustavo Cerati
Simply BRILLIANT... thanks to Alan Parsons.. his instrumentals are ETERNALS...timeless music
Ya no hay músicos, que creen, maravillas, como las que hacía, este genio de la música. Te sacaba de la tierra y te hacia viajar, por el espacio.
justo lo que yo decia te saca de la tierra y te hace viajar por el universo y sis consumir drogas un saludo desde arequipa - peru

Alan Parsons....genio de la música...
Composition, production, presentation, melody, theme with a beginning, a mid section and a conclusion........all AAA+++.
Für mich seid ihr genial 🤩. Mehr geht nicht. Gut, dass wir euch haben. Durch die Songs wird das Leben gut. 😘💗

A masterpiece which brings me back to my youth...
One Of My Favorite Songs By Alan Parsons Brings Back A Lot Of Great Memories
Soviel an Jahre auch vergangen sind dieser Track ist nicht zu überbieten.
Что-то Алан Парсонс скоммуниздил у нашего Алексея Рыбникова,а что-то у него заимствовал тоже наш Эдуард Артемьев.
Escuche a Alan Parsons la primera vez en 1979, quedé hipnotizada hasta hoy, cada vez que escucho algo entro en trance jajajaja, fui a verlo 3 veces en vivo y volveré a verlo si regresa a mi país.
es muy parecida mi historia, en el 79 tenía 17 años y Parsons era lo mas
Desde Bogotá Colombia, _que el mundo sepa que Alan Parson es el mejor_

Genius! Genial!❤ I love your music. This is a great theme. Alan Parsons forever!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Solch guter Sound wird heute leider gar nicht mehr gemacht. Das meiste neue ist einfach nur kommerzieller Schrott. Danke Alan und den meisten Musikern aus jener Zeit.
Todos los que tenemos sobre los 45años de alguna forma tenemos estas melodías insertas en nuestro cerebros .

MÚSICA QUE RESISTE EL TEMPO
31 años pero e escuchado esto desde que naci, APP es y seguira siendo de mis favoritos
una radio de mi ciudad cordoba, pasaba este tema (sin sabe r yo como se llamaba )en los ochenteacomo cortina musicla deun noticioso,es perfecto para eso.
Timeless music ...
Wonderful!!!!!
Une musique qui une véritable thérapie qui apaise l'âme.

Hola amigo.
La verdad es que no tiene ninguna relación con lo otro...Sirius la estrella más brillante de la constelación Andrómeda es la más brillante y hermosa...aún que Orión.
A esa estrella le creo esa partitura.
Pues es el Lucero de la mañana para los Masones...y pues Alan Parson lo es...

En todo caso gracias por el dato, realmente no sabía de eso.
Este tema te hace un nudo en la garganta y te hace llorar de emoción. Es impresionante!!!
The instrumental is very good,your statement a bit overdramatic! ;-D
Me da la impresión de que algo terrible está por suceder y se desencadena una lucha entre las fuerzas del mal y el bien.... ¡Y en medio estamos nosotros, simples seres humanos!
Clamor de cimbalos inmortales.
@@carlossalvador9774 no pudiste haberlo dicho mejor. Esta pieza es tensión y angustia de principio a fin...
La melodia es super buena y su instrumentación es perfecta para un tema apocalíptyco.
Percusion, viento y cimbalos, placeres desconocidos, ignotos, en el alma.
One of the best synthesizer hits in time, if not the best !!
Que bella musica y que arreglos! llenos de significado
О.,боже,как же мне нравится эта композиция,поистине ,космическая музыка!!!!!
I feel like I'm 10 again.. Strolling through the living room while my dad blasts this on the stereo..
Really makes me goosebumps
Une musique intéressante et captivante avec son rythme haletant et riches harmonies; un bonheur à réentendre des années plus tard car le morceau n'a pas pris une ride (comme l'oeuvre d'Alan Parsan Project)
Bring back the 2 ladies of the Eve album cover !! One of the nicest picture of all time IMO.Lucifer, good stuff also Sirius and Exes in the Sky
Are you kidding? Have you looked at their faces
Just wanna say perfect and i love this group since when i Heard from them 80's
Awesome music and I never heard. this before.
Just the name of the track promises greatness
Brilliantly powerful!
Brillante tema de Alan Parsons Project del Álbum Eve de 1978.
Ottima informazione
Alan Parsons project 4-ever !
WOW! I've been listening to APP for over 40 years and never heard this extended version of Lucifer. AWESOME!

La musica de los 80 es la mejor musica de todos los tiempo 😍😍😍,yo soy algelino
As a stand alone, extremely well-crafted precision. Yet, something unsettling lies just below its surface. Dante's inferno set in a pandemic- plagued world.
Luciferian one world order!
One of the best rock instrumentals out there. Enjoy!
Yessssss....
So sick ay 👍
no
Try this out for skiing downhill. I did this a lot of times.
The extended version is sufficient for about 2k Altitude down.
This ist how a professioal Extended- Version should Sound.
Never heard this before already know I'm going to love it. I love Alan Parsons.
Gracias una decada glorioda con ALAN PARSON❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤love this version 😊
THE MOST BEAUTY SONG WHEN I WAS 08 YEARS OLD. MR ING ALAN PARSONS WAS INSPIRATION FOR MY PRACTICE
YOU ARE RIGHT!
Fantastic not possible in 2019, this is the reall stuff!!!!

Danceable, but powerful and literate - we owe so much to the Alan Parsons Project
The full Albums by ALAN PARSONS so good
Timeless.
Nothing more to say.
listen to this is a journey and a time travel
That's right
This was one of the PolyGram albums we merchandised when I started in the music business. I remember the cover so well.
Un genio de la musica Alan Parsons
Je pense que nous faisons partie de la même génération pour savoir ce que ces musiques sont pour nous 😎👍
Super!!!
👍👏💖🌷
Bombastische Musik!
I have all his lps, still emaculate condition. Highly impressed with the extended version of Lucifer.

Gods... I lost myself in this one. I mean, really -- I know it's repetitive in all areas, but you know what? You don't care!!! You just dive in, immerse, and drown!!! Good stuff, damn good stuff!
It is like decades before what today would be called trance music,repetitive,hypnotic,you feel the music in your inside
No escriban en ingles

Carrier of light,=lux fer, geddit?!
Fuera de títulos y cualquier cosa: un genio!!!, uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos, musicalmente hablando
Lo que daría por hablar con Alan y confirmar o no lo que sé
This song has nothing to do with Satan.... for those wondering about the origination of the name of this song...."Lucifer is located on the Dakar radio light of Senegal, which is used by vessels near Senegal. The beacon is sending "vvv de 6WW", where "vvv" is a tuning part for tuning the receiver's radio, "de" is a code word followed by the Morse Station Id and "6WW" is the Dakar radio beacon ID.
The world has evolved more since those days, and Lucifer "the bearer of light" is even more powerful and brilliant due to technical development and improvements."
this song sounds from behind nealry the same... just as "satanistic" music thats why its name is Lucifer.....btw i love symetric stuff :)
That explanation sounds like a mumbo jumbo bunch of trash to me. The song on the other hand is very cool.
Context is key here, and the key to understanding any Alan Parsons album is to realize that each one of them is thematic. Each song on that album tells a different part of the story, a different perspective, if you will, of that album. The name of this album is EVE, and it takes a somewhat dim view of women as being both desirable and treacherous, and also something that men can never quit. "Lucifer" is the devil of Genesis who tempts Eve to disobey God in the Garden of Eden. The Project opens all their albums with an instrumental which is intended to help establish the theme, and “Lucifer” is the opening track on EVE.
@@TimTheTuner Thanks for the explanation, I think you nailed it. Very concise.
Couldn't find any W in there.

Exzellentes Instrumentalarrangement - Ergreift alle Hörnerven und wirkt als Neurotransmitter bist du zuckst
Only on Disney? GOOD! I won't have to suffer through it.
SEMPLICEMENTE UNICO !!
❤ALAN PARSON THE BEST MUSIC TO MY LIFE❤❤❤❤❤❤
Magnific..
Simplemente genial
COMPARTO
I'm a lifetime fan of the APP. Also, this was the theme song for the evening news in TV when I was a kid.
Germany? Because I also know this song from tv-news...
@@beyondlimitationsvideo No, it wasn't in Germany.
@Gage No. It was Lucifer by APP. Though I love Tangerine Dream.
The intro theme for the TV version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was the Eagles' "Journey of the Sorcerer". i literally grew up hearing "Journey of the Sorcerer" and didn't recognize it in HGTTG - the TV series because they used that strong crescendo toward the middle, not the beginning of the song as the Eagles recorded it.
It seems most TV news outfit use this as an intro to their newscasting show. In the Philippines it was used as well, the channel it belongs too is already defunct though.
It's the cry of the desolate one, who fell out of grace..!
Thanks hosny
