Ammonia Avenue is one of the most commercially successful albums of the British band The Alan Parsons Project and was published on February 7, 1984. Ammonia Avenue was originally planned as a double album, the material should represent on Vulture Culture, the second LP.

The first single was Do not Answer Me Prime Time, the second single, arrived in the U.S. in the top 40 Since the Last Goodbye and You Do not Believe were also minor hits. For Do not Answer Me and Prime Time 1984 music videos were produced, the first with animations by Michael William Kaluta. Do not Answer Me was also the first music video ever, which was animated throughout.

The title Ammonia Avenue was from a visit Eric Woolfsons at Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI ) inspired in Billingham, where the first thing that came to his face, neither people nor trees were but a street with miles of pipes and a sign on the Ammonia Avenue was to read. The album continues its conceptual focus on the possible misunderstandings industrial and scientific developments from the perspective of the general population as well as to the lack of understanding that this is from the scientific side of granted.
