Though the title may lead you to believe that On Air is a live radio broadcast from the Alan Parsons project, that is simply not the case. Instead, On Air is a rumination about man's desire to fly, and the album's soaring synthesizers and floating soundscapes accurately convey the blissful sadness of a wish that can never happen. Parsons' grasp of his material is so strong that even a pop vocalist like Christopher Cross adds to the music's richness. On Air a welcome, and overdue, return-to-form from Alan Parsons, proving that his project shouldn't be put to rest just yet. ~ Daevid Jehnzen
