"Gaudi" is an album by The Alan Parsons Project. As the band's last album, 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".
