Official HD Video for "The Gold Bug" by The Alan Parsons Project
'The Goldbug' was the 5th and final single from the Alan Parsons Project's 5th studio album The Turn Of A Friendly Card released in 1980. The song is largely instrumental except for some Sergio Leone style whistling from Alan Parsons and some wordless vocals by Chris Rainbow. The title references Edgar Allan Poe's short story of the same name in which a man finds some pirate treasure after being bitten by a gold-coloured bug. Alan Parsons himself makes a rare appearance on this track playing echoes clarinet, autoharp and also provided the finger clicks and human whistle. Other regular APP musicians are playing along with Chris Rainbow on vocals. Andrew Powell arranged and conducted The Munich Chamber Opera orchestra. The video includes close up footage of a mysterious man walking alone.

This is the music you'll never get tired of. I was about 10 when my brother brought this vinyl record at home. 1981, 1982 I should think! I was hypnotized by this song. Aw man, what the hell happened to music?! I'm glad I was there to live the glorious 80's.

@@mariocarman Saludos! Fue la mercadotecnia de mediados de los '90s que arruinó todo, siempre ha sido así, la diferencia es que en los '80s la musica pop aún siendo comercial era digerible, hoy en dia es muy vomitable. Todo suena igual! y se sigue usando la misma fórmula.

What a fantastic album was "Turn of a friendly card"! I never imagined that the harpsichord could be used in a prog rock format and work so beautifully.

Your comment demonstrates that you never heard Yes. Rick Wakeman used harpsichord many times in their albums. I agree that The Turn of a Friendly Card is a fantastic album.

@nickavenoso7851 2 жыл бұрын

Turn of A Friendly Card is in my top APP albums along with I Robot. I just love it, especially the 16 minute suite. The thing that I always loved about the Alan Parsons Project was that even their radio singles were experimental and went through many different changes unlike what we hear today in popular music.

This is exactly what I felt when I got to listen to this for the first time. It matched my already existing feelings 100%. Old vinyl, dark autumn night, started from the b side. I was hypnotized instatly. This piece has then become super important for me in some way. Comforting and empowering. Loved all Alan Parsons music since.

The Gold Bug was something i really liked on The Turn of A Friendly Card, and still now, a fairly intriguing and pleasant instrumental piece. Nice to see some keyboards used on this track. the keyboard part was not so obvious in the end, unlike what I seemed to hear.

Love the bass line and the sax melody is just sublime! An aside: I would say that the quality of the Vevo upload is several generations down the track (as is unfortunately too often the case). It is not up to par as it has quantities of hiss, and does no justice to the full stereo field and fidelity of the top end. If you really want to hear this song in its full glory, go and purchase a full HQ version.
