    This guy was an incredible vocalist on some incredible songs from The Alan Parsons Project. Among them, Time, Eye in the Sky, Prime Time, and Don’t Answer Me. I had read that the vocals were slowed down on Eye in the Sky a bit to achieve a unique vocal effect. I really thought that it was a cool technique. And it was probably difficult to mix the entire song because the technique was used. It yielded some masterpieces.
