Greek-Oriental Rebetica-Songs & Dances in the Asia Minor Style:The Golden Years 1911-1 $19.98 This is a wonderful introduction to one of the great 20th-century urban musics. Not only does it include both famous names (Papasideris and Abatsi, who are widely reissued elsewhere) and names otherwise entirely obscure, but it has excellent notes in English. It’s even more important now that the Greek EMI recordings have become so hard to find. ~ John Storm Roberts, All Music GuidePerformers: Lambros Leondaridhis – Lira (Lyra); Kostas Papagikas – Cembalo; A. Sidhéris – Lauto; Spiros Peristeris – Bouzouki, Buzukie, Guitar, Mandola; Andónios Amirális – Accordion; Papadzis – Accordion; Yorghos Papasidheris – Accordion, Vocals; Yangos Psamatyalis – Accordion, Vocals; Markos Sifnios – Cello; Rita Abadzi – Vocals; Andonis Dalgas – Guitar, Vocals; Róza Eskenázi – Vocals; Marika Kanaropulu – Vocals; Nikos Karakostas – Clarinet; Kostas Karipis – Guitar; Athanasios Makedonas – Violin; Yanis Oghdhondakis – Violin; Haralambos Panayis – Vocals; |

Asia $9.98 This marriage of four players with impressive pedigrees proved to be the success story of 1982 when Asia’s debut lodged itself at the top of the U.S. album charts for two months. The album spawned a massive number four single in “Heat of the Moment,” a follow-up Top 20 hit in the sweeping “Only Time Will Tell,” and a handful of other tracks that received heavy radio play despite going against the grain of the new wave styling of the day. Produced by Mike Stone, Asia’s strengths were the powerful vocals of John Wetton, the nimble, classically tinged guitar work of Steve Howe, Geoffrey Downes’ majestic keyboard playing, and anchoring the band, Carl Palmer’s propulsive drumming. The lyrics are overwrought at moments, but there’s no denying the epic grandeur of the music, which provided some much-needed muscle to radio at the time, and did so with style. ~ Tom Demalon, All Music GuidePerformers: Geoffrey Downes – Keyboards, Vocals; Steve Howe – Guitar, Vocals; Carl Palmer – Drums, Percussion; John Wetton – Bass, Guitar (Bass), Keyboards, Vocals |
