Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 1987, 'Gaudi' is the sixth studio album by The Alan Parsons Project, following their successful 'Stereotomy' (1985). By this time, the band was exploring more conceptual themes, moving towards a more art-rock direction that reflects a fascination with the works of architect Antoni Gaudí. This album marked a significant shift as they began to incorporate more instrumental tracks alongside their signature storytelling.
