A great psychedelic song from Jimmie Spheeris’ 3rd album with same name (1975).
Spheeris, who died at the age of 34 in a motorcycle accident, was the brother of director Penelope Spheeris and cousin of director Costa Gavras and musician Chris Spheeris.
He released 4 albums and finished recordings of a 5th one just before he died.
He collaborated with many famous artists one of them being Chick Corea who plays piano and moog on The Dragon is Dancing song. Enjoy!
Almost half a century ago the Beatles wanted to buy a Greek island and live there to escape from the pressure fame brings along. And they were close. Alexis Mardas (aka Magic Alex) prepared the deal but it was not meant to happen.
"We're all going to live there, perhaps forever, just coming home for visits. Or it might just be six months a year. It'll be fantastic, all on our own on this island. There some little houses which we'll do up and knock together and live communally.
I'm not worried about the political situation in Greece, as long as it doesn't affect us.
I don't care if the government is all fascist, or communist. I don't care. They're all as bad as here; worse, most of them. I've seen England and the USA, and I don't care for either of their governments. They're all the same. Look what they do here. They stopped Radio Caroline and tried to put the Stones away while they're spending billions on nuclear armaments and the place is full of US bases that no one knows about."

George Harrison - Greece (from Gone Troppo lp - 1982)
Produced by Alan Parsons and mixed in Abbey Road studios, Electric Litany’s second album, Enduring Days You Will Overcome, takes the lo-fi poetry of the group to another level.
The group has a unique sound combining new wave, electronic and indie music with an echo of the byzantine and Ionian musical tradition.
They call their music “drone’n’roll”. Mechanimal’s second album, Secret Science, continues to explore the obscurity of urban life in the years of crisis.
Rough, industrial and human, their music brings the local madness to a global audience.
After many collaborations, personal albums and production projects, Coti K releases his masterpiece under the name The Man From Managra.
Listening to his music generates a euphoric feeling similar to the one created by Brian Eno and John Cale’s Wrong Way Up album.
