Alan Parsons holding faith to its passion for the rock operas wrote in 1980 " Turn of to friendly card " entirely dedicated to the gambling the cards and the dices.
Beautiful is the cover in which one gothic window where it's reproduced a king of diamonds trying to light the black background, with a possible meaning: the gambling can enrich (the window that illuminates) but most of the times send the gambler to the deepest desperation (the black background).
The best "songs":
"Time" where the time it's compared to a flowing river. Eric Woolfson (cofounder of the Project) is supported only be a light musical background.
"The Gold Bug" wonderful instrumental used as soundtrack of several spots.
The long suite of 16 minutes and 5 movements that is opened and closed with title track "the Turn of friendly card" in which it is perceived that "The game never ends when your world depends on the turn of a friendly card" and the beautiful instrumental Ace of Swords mixed up with clear medieval sounds and instruments!
The arrangements are very rich and well-treated (don't forget Alan Parsons is the sound engineer of "The Dark side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd.
This CD is lowprice and if you want to know more about the Project The Turn is a wonderful purchase.
