Not as commercially successful as its predecessor Vulture Culture, the album is structured differently from earlier Project albums, containing three lengthy tracks (&#8220;<strong>Stereotomy<\/strong>&#8220;at over seven minutes, &#8220;Light of the World&#8221;at over six minutes, and the instrumental &#8220;Where&#8217;s the Walrus?&#8221;running over seven and a half minutes) and two minute-long songs at the end. It is a full digital production and both the LP and CD releases were encoded using the two-channel Ambisonic UHJ format.<\/p>\n<p>The original vinyl packaging of the album was different from all the reissues: it featured somewhat more elaborate artwork of the paper sleeve supplied with a special color-filter oversleeve. When inserted, the oversleeve filtered some of the colors of the sleeve artwork, allowing four different variations (2 per side) of it. That was supposed to symbolize visual <strong>Stereotomy<\/strong>. In the reissues, only one variant remained. The artwork was nominated for Best Album Package at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n<p>The word &#8220;<strong>Stereotomy<\/strong>&#8220;is taken from &#8220;The Murders in the Rue Morgue&#8221;by Edgar Allan Poe. It refers to the cutting of existing solid shapes into different forms; it is used as a metaphor for the way that famous people (singers, actors. etc.) are often &#8216;shaped&#8217; by the demands of fame. <strong>Stereotomy<\/strong> earned a Grammy nomination in 1987 for Best Rock Instrumental Performance \u2013 Orchestra, Group, or Soloist for the track &#8220;Where&#8217;s the Walrus?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stereotomy<\/strong> marks the final appearance of David Paton on bass; he went on to join Elton John&#8217;s touring band, and the first since Tales of Mystery and Imagination not to feature Lenny Zakatek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stereotomy is the ninth studio album by The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1985.
