Alan liked my unusual approach to arranging - he said I was the only arranger he had worked with who doubled string lines with wind instruments (a common enough trick in Classical music), and who used avant-garde textures (as in the title Ritz on The Psychomodo). I had met Alan some time before when Steve Harley insisted on using me to arrange Cockney Rebel’s 2nd album The Psychomodo. He had an idea for a new album, based on the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, and wanted me to become involved as arranger, conductor and co-writer. We met for tea at the Dorchester Hotel in London. Sometime early in 1975, Alan Parsons phoned me to ask me to a meeting with his manager, Eric Woolfson. Andrew reminisces about his work as arranger, conducter, and musical director for The Alan Parsons Project.
