5 out of 5 stars Pure artistry.......2005-09-30

Although I was never the biggest Mitropanos fan, I have to admit that beyond it's lead-off single ("Roza", which was immense), the lyrics, musicianship and vocal delivery make this an essential album to own, for fans of Greek music, and for world music fans in general.

Mitropanos had the good sense to work with Thanos Mikroutsikos, as his compositions are absolute poetry, as stated before by the previous reviewer. This material is at least on par with anything Dimitris recorded during his Marios Tokas days. "Louna Park" and "Patision Ke Paramithiou Gonia" are other standouts, but this is a concept album from Greece that even nearly 10 years later, still hits as hard as it did when it was first released.

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars the best cd I have.......2005-09-13

If i had to throw away all my cd's and keep only three, this would be one of them. All the songs together, make up a wonderful story that you like listening again and again discovering fascinating new details. This is because the songs do not simply contain lyrics but POETRY.I highly recomend it. It is a pity, I searched the internet to find the lyrics of Mitropanos songs translated in English but I could not... so I decided to translate some of them!

1. AMUSEMENT PARK

The city lit up its lights and is departing
On an amusement park train going nowhere.
Like your body that slips away from my hands
And seeks joy in the hands of strangers.

[CHORUS]
You closed your eyes and I was excluded
I will spend one more night out in the rain
I will gamble again everything for your sake
And I do not care what the new day will bring.

You are transforming in the streets like a Medusa
And I follow your one thousand faces
I submit to the laws of your love
And I just ask for a few crumbs.


2. ROSA

My lips are dry and thirsty
Looking for water on the asphalt
Vehicles are passing next to me
And you tell me there is a heavy rain coming
And you drag me in a humid cabaret

We are walking in the same street
But our prison cells are separate
We are wandering in a magic city
I do not care to know anymore what we are looking for
As long as you give me two kisses as a gift.

You place me as a bet n the roulette and you lose me
In a fairy tail that is like a nightmare
My voice now is like an insect's buzz
My life is like a climbing plant
You cut me and you throw me in the empty space.

[CHORUS]
How does the want become history?
How does history become silence?
Why do I look numb to you Rosa?
Forgive me that I do not understand
What do computers and numbers mean.

My love made out of coal and sulphur
How have times changed
The vehicles are passing above us
And I stand in the heavy rain and in the fog
While sleeping hungry by your side.


3. ITINERANT CIRCUS

I wasted my life like an itinerant circus
In stations and in squares I did not ask you where you are Taking me
Now I travel without a compass
I can hear your voice but I do not get what you are saying

[CHORUS]
Greece, my Vembo=(modest greek singer in the 40's) and Marilyn Monroe
Greece, my Elitis=(poet full of optimism and sun light in his poems) and Edgard Allan Poe
Greece, witch, virgin and my street walker
Greece, Toumba, Alcazar and Kalogreza mou =(all these three are places where there are soccer stadiums with really hot fans).

Once you were creating in me a fiery passion
Now you play a game I do not care about.
I do not win and I do not lose I love you and I deny you
And in your cliff, I hold my self from a little twig.


7. AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH

With a boat named ungratefulness
You set sail on a cold day
And from all your personal gifts
Besides the rain and the storm
You only left me one more

[CHORUS]
An old photograph
Hugging eachother by the sea
Yesterday I tore it in pieces
So the eyes do not see
How many years I wasted.

As many times you have kissed me
So many times I was crucified
And the only thing remaining now
Is a sad chamber
That I once surrendered to you.


12. FOR A DOLORES

On the blossomed picks
You asked for your life
On the stars that are on the earth and on the sky
The light of paradise.
The day brakes like a glass
On its edge you are walking.
In company with people that stow away life
Drinkers and bikers
Motley knigts.

[CHORUS]
In the aeon's shack
Lay down your dream rogue
with swears and prayers
and the mother's blessings
In the aeon's shack
Lay down your dream rogue
In the hidden and humble things
Search for the everlasting ones.

For a Dolores
You slashed your skin one night.
And you nailed your body
On the moon's dancing floor.
With nonfiltered cigaretts and alcohol
You are bashing your voice
A criminal, Pilate and Christ
There where God is trickling
You will spread out your life.
