As psychedelic as it was atmospheric, On The Greek Side Of My Mind is essential to The Aphrodite's Chid jigsaw. And essential for any fan of Roussos."
Before Greece's progressive rock legends Aphrodite's Child bowed out in 1972 with the double concept album 666, their singer Demis Roussos had already made his own, solo, concept album, 1971's On The Greek Side Of My Mind."
He became an international star in 1973 with "Forever And Ever", but the unsung On The Greek Side Of My Mind was where his solo career began."
Made with Aphrodite's Child lyricist Boris Bergman and French musicians as well as Aphrodite's Child drummer Lucas Sideras, On The Greek Side Of My Mind is the missing link between the band and his solo success - even though it was made while Aphrodite's Child were still going."
On The Greek Side Of My Mind is a dramatic exploration of his roots, the legends of his home country and the journey he was on, weaving the themes of Greek folk into a rich orchestrated progressive pop that transports with its rich imagery."
