Album Review

Reviewed 2005-05-16
Greek female singer doing songs from all over that Italy/Greece/ Balkans zone. Traditional, folky sounds at its base... the catch is that the band adds some modern-jazz touches here and there, getting outright weird on some tracks like 6 and 13. Nice mix of the traditional and the eerie. Lyrics translations in the booklet.

1- Slow, somber, with backing drone almost like bagpipes
2- Fairly fast but melancholy
3- Slowish and coolly jazzy. Twirling Greek ending
4- Slow, drifting
5- Upbeat, light, mid/fast
6- Edgy but low-key with bubbling bass and catchy melody
7- Slow, ceremonial
8- Sicilian old-world waltz, mid/fast.
9- Slow, grim
10- Bouncing country/folk. Fast. Crazy accordion.
11- Gentle, fairly fast
12- Gently upbeat. Light. High squeaky voice later on.
13- Good mysterious sound. Sparse with fast middle section.
14- Quiet, with avant-garde sounding voice and toylike percussion
