The Alan Parsons Project - Gaudi Sessions (2026)

Gaudi (Sessions) llega como una pequeña joya de archivo para los seguidores de The Alan Parsons Project. Publicado oficialmente el 9 de septiembre de 2026 por Cooking Vinyl, este lanzamiento reúne siete piezas y más de 25 minutos de material procedente de las sesiones de Gaudi, ofreciendo una mirada al proceso creativo que rodeó uno de los trabajos más singulares del grupo.

Aquí no encontraremos simplemente versiones alternativas: hay rough mixes, voces guía de Eric Woolfson, experimentos vocales, secciones con Chris Rainbow y pistas de acompañamiento, documentos que permiten escuchar cómo las canciones fueron tomando forma en el estudio. Destacan especialmente “La Sagrada Familia (Rough Mix)” y “Paseo De Gracia (Rough Mix)”, junto a la curiosa toma de “Too Late” con la voz guía de Woolfson.

Un lanzamiento imprescindible para coleccionistas y seguidores del universo Parsons/Woolfson, porque más que un simple añadido a la discografía, Gaudi (Sessions) abre una ventana al laboratorio creativo de The Alan Parsons Project y recupera material que durante décadas permaneció en el terreno de las sesiones de estudio.

Alan Parsons - Best Unsaid

ALAN PARSONS – BEST UNSAID (2016)

COMPARTIR

Una colección de rarezas, caminos perdidos y canciones que merecían otra oportunidad

Hay discos que llegan a las tiendas, otros que se pierden por el camino… y después están aquellos que aparecen en el universo de los bootlegs, reuniendo piezas que difícilmente encontraríamos juntas en un lanzamiento convencional.

“Best Unsaid”, fechado en 2016, pertenece precisamente a esa categoría. Una curiosa recopilación de material de estudio relacionado con Alan Parsons, que reúne seis canciones procedentes de diferentes momentos de su trayectoria y que resulta especialmente atractiva para quienes disfrutan rastreando la cara menos conocida de su obra.

El viaje comienza con “All Our Yesterdays” y “Do You Live At All”, dos piezas vinculadas a la etapa de Parsons posterior a The Alan Parsons Project, para continuar con “Fragile” y “More Lost Without You”. La selección da después un inesperado salto hacia atrás con “Return To Tunguska”, procedente de A Valid Path, y “Upper Me”, relacionada con el universo de Freudiana.

Y ahí está precisamente el encanto de Best Unsaid: no busca contar una historia cronológica, sino juntar grabaciones que permiten descubrir diferentes caras del universo Parsons/Woolfson.

No estamos ante un directo perdido ni ante un supuesto álbum oficial desaparecido. Es, más bien, una pieza de arqueología musical, de esas que los coleccionistas persiguen porque permiten completar pequeñas parcelas de una discografía enorme y llena de rincones poco explorados.

Neil Lockwood

Neil Lockwood nació en Gales el 23 de febrero de 1958. Aunque inicialmente aspiraba a ser pintor, su pasión por la música lo llevó a una destacada carrera como músico y vocalista. ​

En 1983, Lockwood lanzó su primer sencillo en solitario, "Tale Tell Heart", que tuvo éxito en las pistas de baile del Reino Unido. En 1987, dejó su antigua banda, "The Shine", y colaboró con artistas como Mica Paris, Elaine Paige, John Parr y Duncan Browne. ​

En 1990, se unió a ELO Part II como cantante, guitarrista, teclista y compositor, participando en una gira mundial que duró tres años. Posteriormente, en 1996, se convirtió en el vocalista principal de The Alan Parsons Live Project, colaborando en los álbumes "On Air" y "The Time Machine". ​

Lockwood falleció el 15 de marzo de 2025 tras una breve enfermedad inesperada. Alan Parsons expresó su pesar por la pérdida de su amigo y colega, destacando su talento único como vocalista y su versatilidad. ​

La contribución de Neil Lockwood a la música, especialmente en su trabajo con ELO Part II y The Alan Parsons Live Project, deja un legado duradero que continúa inspirando a músicos y fanáticos por igual.
