Gaudi is the final album by The Alan Parsons Project, and it was released in 1987. Gaudi refers to Antoni Gaudí, an architect, and the opening track references what is probably his best known building, La Sagrada Familia. "Closer to Heaven" and "Money Talks" were used in an episode of the TV series Miami Vice.
