"The Prelude of "The Fall of the House of Usher", although uncredited, is based on the opera fragment "La chute de la maison Usher" by Claude Debussy.", now, if it is uncredited, how do you know, are you Parsons? Or do you just think you know everything. Either way your breaking a rule adding opinionated garbage to a perfectly good (if unsourced) article, or editing an article that relates directly to yourself. If it was originally uncredited but they said later on, then say that, when you put it back, otherwise its gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 06:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to be rude! There is a recording of it and I have it. If you had, you also would have noticed that "The Prelude of "The Fall of the House of Usher" is based on it. Anyway, I also saw this mentioned in a book so I'm adding a reference note.Roope (talk) 17:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That the prelude sounds like Debussy is more or less obvious if you ever heard an orchestral piece of him. Now, only some weeks ago I heard it on the radio with the anouncer claiming that it really is from a Debussy opera fragment (and not only written in the style of Debussy as I have believed so far). The German website http://www.jochenscheytt.de/debussy/debussywerke/buehne/usher.html writes something on the history of that unfinished oper (La chute de la maison Usher) and also claims, that Parsons (or Andrew Powell) made use of it without credit. There seems to be a recording of the opera fragment from 1983 and even a recent DVD from a performance at the Bregenz festival (using a reconstruction by Robert Orledge). 212.66.146.130 (talk) 14:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the list of personnel, the word "projection" appears at the end of the Alan Parsons entry. I'm pretty sure that this should read "Projectron" (the strange mellotron-like instrument he invented and which consists of a keyboard switching the audio outputs of a 24-track tape recorder).213.39.176.185 (talk) 18:11, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, this title, which is very, very frequently the title under which selected works of Edgar Allan Poe are published, somehow gets to be occupied by an Alan Parsons Project album? And the disambiguation notice at the top only refers us to an even more obscure album by a group I've never heard of? And the Poe book is inscrutably at Tales of Mystery & Imagination? We should very, very obviously move this article to Tales of Mystery and Imagination (Alan Parsons Project album) and redirect this title to Tales of Mystery & Imagination. john k (talk) 06:55, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree entirely. All done now. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 20:02, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

who are Kevin Peek, Laurence Juber, Les Hurdle, David Snell, Hugo D'Alton and Dennis Clarke, and why are they identified as performers on the album in the Wikipedia article when there's no mention of them in the actual album's credits? Can anyone verify that these men actually worked on the album? Shotguntony (talk) 14:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I assume this is based on reference 11, which lists these people. jfeise (talk) 15:27, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
