Ammonia Avenue is one of the most commercially successful albums of The

Alan Parsons Project. It was the second of the group's three most accessible

albums, beginning with Eye in the Sky and ending with Vulture Culture.

Ammonia Avenue was originally intended to be released as a double album

with Vulture Culture's material forming the second record.



The Phil Spector influenced million selling smash- "Don't Answer Me" is

generally regarded as Ammonia Avenue's best song, with the title track a

close second. "Prime Time" was a follow up release that fared well in the top

40."Since The Last Goodbye" and "You Don't Believe" were also minor hits. A

music video for "Don't Answer Me" was produced in 1985, with art and

animation by MW Kaluta.



The title of the album was inspired by Eric Woolfson's visit to Imperial

Chemical Industries (ICI) in Billingham England, where the first thing he saw

was a street with miles of pipes, no people, no trees and a sign that said

'Ammonia Avenue'. The album focused on the possible misunderstanding of

industrial scientific developments from a public perspective and a lack of

understanding of the public from a scientific perspective.
