Freudiana is a rock opera by Eric Woolfson. It was to be the 11th album by the Alan Parsons Project, but during its development, Woolfson had creative differences with Alan Parsons, causing the Project's split. With the two still working together on the album, the 1990 production utilizes the Project's personnel as well as guest vocalists, making it the "unofficial" Project album. The Project's official 11th and final album would end up being The Sicilian Defence, later released in 2014 after being shelved for 36 years since its recording in 1979, as part of The Complete Albums box set.

Psychoderelict is the seventh studio album by the English musician Pete Townshend.
