Stereotomy is the next to last regular album by The Alan Parsons Project.
Although generally considered better musically than its predecessor, Vulture
Culture, it was not as successful commercially, perhaps due to much fewer
vocals from Eric Woolfson (he only appears on a small section of the title
track). The album is structured differently from earlier Project albums,
containing three lengthy tracks (one the longest instrumental the Project
ever made) and two minute-long songs at the end. It is a full digital
production and the CD release was encoded using the two-channel Ambisonic
UHJ format.

The original vinyl packaging of the album was different from all the reissues: it
featured somewhat more elaborate artwork of the paper sleeve supplied with
a special color-filter oversleeve. When inserted, the oversleeve filtered some
of the colors of the sleeve artwork, allowing four different variations (2 per
side) of it. That was supposed to symbolize visual stereotomy. In the
reissues, only one variant remained.

The word 'stereotomy' is taken from the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. It refers
to the cutting of existing solid shapes into different forms; it is used as a
metaphor for the way that famous people (singers, actors. etc.) are often
'shaped' by the demands of fame.
