Panos Savopoulos - Parelasi Robot (Procession-Robots) - 1972

Anazitisi Records:
" "Dia Tafta" is the third album by Panos Savopoulos. Both of his first two LPs, "Domatio" and "Epeisodio" had been released by ANAZITISI Records in 2009. "Dia Tafta" contains unreleased recordings made in 4 different periods between 1967 and 1978. LP Side A contains 3 long-tracks from1973. They're finest examples of the greek underground acid folk movement with dark melodies and political and sensitive as well lyrics (please note that by then, Greece had had a 6-years old dictatorship). Side B contains 3 tracks recorded in 1978 with the participation of Greek and Swedish musicians, as in those days, Savopoulos was living in Stockholm. These are at the same acid-folk vein as "Episodeio" with some North European psych and folk influences. Finally, 5 very short tracks close side B. These are coming from a 1967 soundtrack for a movie called "Matomeni Gi" ("Bloodstained earth") moving towards the "Domatio" music direction. The extra 7" EP, that comes along this release, contains the music and songs of a theatre play by Jacques Prevert, entitled "Spectacle" (1971). Guitar, cello, flute and piano instruments, arranged by Savopoulos and mark the start of the "Episodeio" recordings. First ever official release licenced by Panos Savopoulos.
