Various Artists - Try A Little Sunshine [Pop Art, 1999]























This compilation contains 18 songs of the greek indie pop scene and covers the period of the last 2 decades. Unknown treasures from the english-speaking "unrecognized" music of our country, 14 groups that worked underground, 10 unreleased songs, 6 songs from "sold out" releases, a compilation that could o­nly be put in the files, but we were mistaken! The first reviews show that the people that are writing and playing music in the neighbourhoods of Athens, Salonica and Patra, have the inspiration and the power to stand equally next to the traditionally "big" scenes of the particular music style. Influenced by the new wave of the last decade or the pop aesthetic of the legendary Sarah Records together with the influence of the new electro-pop sounds, these guitar pop melodies create a soundtrack for sunny afternoons o­n a beach or even for full moon nights o­n a terrace under the city clamour.
Groups like Impossible Tymes, O­ne Night Suzan, Next Time Passions, The Jaywalkers, Raining Pleasure, Groove Machine, Sound Devise, The Mute, Starblind, Protest March, Kissamatic Lovebubbles, Common Sense, The Crooner, Love Exotics gave all their cheerfulness and (by simply smiling) we suggest: Try A Little Sunshine!

Various Artists - Radio Lunatica [VIM, 2008]























…….with a French twist. I opened the post over breakfast: another three page epic from Danielle, a postcard from Brian Eno, and my dear friend Phillip had sent me that long-lost press release Boards Of Canada did prior to the release of “Music Has The Right To Children”. I filled a second cup of steaming cappuccino, light a cigarette, and made my way over to the window. Outside, on the rippled blue sea of Thessaloniki’s port, a tiny red fishing boat was making its way towards the marina…….above it, low diaphanous clouds drifted slowly into the farness of the blurred horizon. I was thinking that there’s no need to have someone beside you if you want him close. The woman that I’ll fall in love with is not here and I was always wrapped in foil-too weak to walk away. Color never loses it’s rights. The Saturday morning tranquility was suddenly broken by a low frequency bleep-bleep-bleep……it was the phone……it was she and sounded very worried. At that time a man with threatening present was haunting her sleep, having the scent of black pepper. That was when the fogs wake-up, with all that strange episodes of death and love. “Hello Keith, I’ve been speaking to the lawyers and they think that Future Sound Of London story is way too risky, especially the allegations you made about it’s private lives”. I smiled to myself and spoke softly into the cream-white phone: “Please don’t upset yourself because we’ve unearthed a rather fabulous Radio Lunatica article from an ancient Jazz magazine. So, what with Paul’s bit on indie football and that piece on girls in electronica, we don’t really need The Future Sound Of London story after all....And honestly, love, who’d be that interested in their little secrets anyway?” “Radio Lunatica”, I heard her mumble. “Um, hold on, I’ll just fax the lawyers”
