Eye In The Sky


"Eye In The Sky" by the Alan Parsons Project is a polished art-rock track released in 1982 from their sixth studio album of the same name. It reached No. 3 on the US Billboard charts and topped the charts in Canada and Spain, making it the band's most successful single. For electric guitarists, the song offers a study in clean, atmospheric playing within a carefully layered studio arrangement that rewards attention to tone and restraint.

  • On the album, the instrumental track 'Sirius' segues directly into 'Eye In The Sky' — the two pieces are closely linked.
  • The song reached No. 3 on the US Billboard charts in October 1982, becoming the Alan Parsons Project's biggest hit.
  • 'Eye In The Sky' was released as a standalone single, with the 'Sirius' intro edited out for that version.

Ian Bairnson's ES-335 delivered the warm, compressed tone essential for Alan Parsons Project's clean rhythm work and jazz-influenced solos. Its natural tonal character shone through their transparent recording approach, emphasizing playing dynamics over electronic enhancement.

The Deluxe Reverb provided the clean, articulate foundation for Alan Parsons Project's studio work, with moderate tube saturation allowing mixing rather than amp gain to shape the final tone. This approach prioritized playing precision and dynamics over breakup-driven sustain.
