A masterpiece album by the Greek hard progressive rock band Socrates, released in 1976. The band was fully backed by world famous composer/synthesizer player Vangelis O. Parathanassiou, also from Greece. The album is full of Balearic touches, reflecting Vangelis' colourful style, such as A2 with its galactic and fantastic synthesizer melody over a low centre of gravity drum/percussion track, and A3 with its mysterious melody reminiscent of Greek traditional music.
