"Standing on Higher Ground" (#3, Mainstream Rock)

This was historically the last album to be recorded under The Alan Parsons Project banner. It was based upon the work of the celebrated Catalonian architect, Antonio Gaudi, whose works are particularly apparent in Barcelona - especially at the (as yet) unfinished cathedral, La Sagrada Familia. A standout track for me is Standing On Higher Ground which featured the vocal talents of Geoff Barradale, the singer of Vitamin Z. (pronounced "vit a min zed"), a band I had produced an album with. The title track featured my old friend John Miles on vocal - I think this is one of the best songs Eric wrote. The album was recorded in my first purpose-built studio in Benenden, Kent, deep in the English countryside. The studio was in a wing of a rambling Victorian manor house with 15 bedrooms. You laugh? It seemed a good idea at the time.

A piece of of trivia - Julian Colbeck (keyfax.com), who is the key brain behind this website, played keyboards on the Vitamin Z album, and toured with John Miles!
