Although "On Air" is perhaps Alan Parsons' least noticed album, it is considered by connoisseurs to be one of his best. To mark the 25th anniversary, the British musician, sound engineer and producer is reissuing the concept album in 2021, on CD and LP. The vinyl version comes on transparent vinyl, is numbered and limited to 1500 copies. "On Air" is the second solo album by Alan Parsons after the breakup of the Alan Parsons Project. It was originally released in 1996 The concept album revolves around the story of exploration by airplane. The theme of "Too Close To The Sun" is the escape from the labyrinth of the Minotaur. "Brother Up In Heaven" is an emotional song about the death of APP guitarist Ian Bairnson's cousin. "One Day To Fly" is about Leonardo da Vinci's mission to invent a flying machine. Musically, this album differs somewhat from its predecessor "Try Anything Once" and the albums of the Alan Parsons Project. Instead of funky rhythms, the progressive rock sound has become softer. As singers, "On Air" features some stars of the scene: Christopher Cross, Eric Stewart, Neil Lockwood, Steve Overland and Graham Dye
