| 1. | Sirius | Eye In The Sky | 1:57 | One of my favorite instrumentals by The Alan Parsons Project. I originally thought that this was an obscure instrumental by Rush, however I do remember this short song being played at the introduction to the 6-time world champion Chicago Bulls basketball team, before Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen take court! |
| 2. | Eye In The Sky | Eye In The Sky | 4:36 | Another outstanding vocal by Eric Woolfson |
| 3. | Psychobabble | Eye In The Sky | 4:51 | An outstanding vocal by Elmer Gantry |
| 4. | Mammagamma | Eye In The Sky | 3:34 | Another outstanding instrumental! |
| 5. | Old And Wise | Eye In The Sky | 4:57 | This song is probably the best song in their entire repertoire, the lyrics and music convey a sense of reflection on one's life. Colin Blunstone's vocals convey the idea of an old man approaching his death with dignity! |
