The Time Machine (Alan Parsons album)

The Time Machine is the third solo album attributed to English rock musician Alan Parsons. While the sound of this album is similar to some of the soft, ethereal tracks by the Alan Parsons Project, none of the writing or performance credits in the sleeve notes go to Alan Parsons, except for one short and simple organ pad on "Temporalia" (all other tracks were written by drummer Stuart Elliott and guitarist Ian Bairnson), additional organ performance on "No Future in the Past" (written by drummer Stuart Eliott), and the Japanese bonus track "Beginnings" (which also features his voice as spoken word). All other tracks were written by Elliott or guitarist Ian Bairnson. Parsons' relation to the album is therefore almost exclusively as producer and studio engineer.
