Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stranded in Paris due to the 1968 student riots, the Greek expatriate group capitalized on the massive European success of their single 'Rain and Tears' to craft this dramatic debut. The album marries grand, Vangelis-penned orchestral arrangements with Demis Roussos' towering vocals, laying an opulent foundation for the European progressive rock movement.
