Nostradamos - Nostradamos CD. The only record from a short-lived Greek folk/rock band, first released on Zodiac (same label as George Romanos) in 1972. As the booklet text says, "They made one record, being a quiet record, where the beautiful woman's voice of Despina Glezou makes a transparent impression, in songs which integrate Greek song styles into the elements of American rock and pop music. There are delicate parts, there are groovy parts-but throughout the album there is a wonderful and standardized impression. The melodies overflow. The wind that blows is an agreeable one. Other than guitar, bass, and drums, there is violin and Hammond, the flute, and something that sounds like a French horn. It seems like pathos, it seems like folk-rock, it seems that what we can all like is in all the bands' pop songs. Whatever you like, maybe you don't stop wanting to hear this strange record. You can hear it now with sufficiently good sound, with the delicate nuance in evidence. It is transmitted." Brief band history and discography included. (m-/m-)
