On Air


 
 

On Air is the second album released solo by Alan Parsons following the split of The Alan Parsons Project. The album follows the history of airborne exploration, from Daedalus and Icarus in Too Close To The Sun, through Leonardo da Vinci's dreams of flight in One Day To Fly, to the plan to put a man on the moon in Apollo, a track backed by John F. Kennedy's famous speech of May 25 1961.

The track 'Brother Up In Heaven' was written by longtime Project guitarist Ian Bairnson, a reference to his cousin (a helicopter pilot) being accidentally shot down.
