Radio zorian - Happy hour

[zorian]

Also the first song of the album, the first song in the personal discography of Thanasis, a song that after years was recorded by Giannis Haroulis.

 

[zorian]

I close today's first episode with Cherry paste...
Thanasis sings, while at the beginning they are heard reciting his twin boys, Konstantis and Aristotle. The Larissa of that time, sung by a Larissa man .... Somewhere, the verse is heard: "..crouched in DEYAL the trenches ..", what I was saying about his work as an engineer in DEYAL.

 

[zorian]

Half an egg that I have available, let me continue my tribute for a while ....
In addition to the songs that have been recorded, we will listen (at crucial chronological moments) to some other songs that many may not know. Because we will not meet Michael again in the next albums of Thanasis, we will hear two songs that were recorded later but by other singers. What we will hear from Giorgos Michael is from recordings in the music scenes, which, as I wrote, were sung then, in the 90's (which is why the sound is not the best).
The first is "Horse Tail". In this performance, Michael and Thanasis sing in the Hammam in 1999 (in the photo that appears on youtube, the two of them on stage). Of course the song has become known from the recording with Charoulis on the cd Manganese, although it was recorded again in 2000 on the cd of Fenia Papadodima The Fairy Scarf.
The second is "The glamorous caves". The song, as we will hear it, is from a recording at Hatzigianneio in Larissa in 1994. It was recorded on the penultimate album of Thanasis With a laughing mouth, with the voice of Socrates Malamas and with slightly different lyrics.

 

[zorian]

Let's hear it too Dream sung by its creator at Technopolis in 2018

On the right as we see at some point appears Malamas and on the left Ioulia Karapataki, in second voices.
MY MAN WHAT HAPPENED! TO DESTROY YOUR DREAM AND YOU TO LEAVE THEM

 

[zorian]

The album was released in 2003 Cycle of Socrates Malamas. In this album there are 2 songs with lyrics by Thanasis and music by Socrates. THE "Faltsos Chrysmos" and "Ask".

 

[zorian]

Two years later, in May 1995, he released his second solo album, entitled In Andromeda and on Earth. There are many songs to listen to from this album. 12 includes a total of, with performers the songwriter himself, Malamas and Melina Kana. Socrates and Melina will sing many of Thanassis' songs on the next albums.
Because today the "show" ends here, I leave you with a performance of the most famous song from this album, the "Andromeda", sung by Thanasis and Socrates in Nero Square in the summer of 2018, with 16.000 people below !!

 

[Eric Castel]

I was one of 16.000

 

[zorian]

I saw them that year in September, when they played in the yard of Mylos in Larissa.
Of course, it has nothing to do with so many people gathering in Athens

 

[Eric Castel]

Water Square is one of the worst concert venues I have ever been to. I did not enjoy this particular concert. Chaotic huge space. You have no contact with the scene unless you are very, very close. It does not have the Technopolis.

 

[zorian]

Since we are talking about concerts, a song from the album is on the move In Andromeda and on Earth which has become a trademark of the artist's concerts. Title: "Under the pillow"

 

[zorian]

Let's get a little involved with the songs on this album. Melina Kana sings two songs (we will listen to both). Especially the "Monk Tree" is what made me love this kind of songs. You hear it and you see very clearly the images, which describe the words, to pass in front of your eyes. Characteristic of most songs of the Larissa composer.

 

[zorian]

Socrates Malamas sings three songs. Here we will hear only one ..."The Monks". It is in the same style "Prisons of the Underworld" while it is completely different "The wedding ring"

The performance is live, from a concert in Ierissos in September 2014. They both sing it

 

[zorian]

The rest of the songs are sung by Thanasis, except for the finale of "Potis tis Stroggili Trapezis" which is sung by all 3 together. 'The trawl' and "Morning Star" are probably the most famous, from this album, after Andromeda. But there are others, which are also diamonds. As the "Those" which we will hear right away.

 

[zorian]

The "Morning Star" we will hear him later, sung by Nikos Papazoglou, who said it on one of the following albums. We will hear it "Night" but also her "Trawl" live (Petra Theater, 2015, with Thanasis, Socrates and Melina), before we take the army for the next album ...

Υ.Γ. It is clear, in these two songs, that Thanasis searches a lot in the sky and the celestial bodies

 

[zorian]

It's raining in my area today, it's not for work, so I said take a look at my tribute and go as far as I can. In the next two albums, the main singer is Melina Kana. She also appears on the covers and if we were in those times when everyone was famous for singers / songwriters and lyricists-composers it was not even heard, we would say that "to two Melina records". But all the hard work has been done by Thanasis.
The first album was released in 1996 and its title is The love of the old man. 11 songs, all with lyrics and music by Thanasis, except "Shift" where the lyrics belong to George Athanasopoulos.

 

[zorian]

All the songs on the album are sung by Kana, except for him "Aposperite", perhaps one of the most beautiful songs composed by my Kontochorian, which he sings himself
Live from Technopolis in 2014

 

[zorian]

There are many favorite songs from this album, but as we said, it is not possible to listen to everything from every album. We will listen to her "My soft life" and "Parable of the Prodigal". We will probably hear them in some next show "Desert Bodies" but also the "When I sing"

 

[zorian]

The following year, in 1997, the album of Lizeta Kalimeri (Melina Kana's brother) was released with the title Life Illegally to music by Michalis Haniotis. Thanasis participates with his lyrics in 4 songs. The lyrics to "Violators" and "The shadow of time" are entirely his own, while in "Letter" has written them together with Eleni Tzouka and "In the Trenches" together with Lizeta.
We will listen to them Offenders and Trenches from this job.

 

[zorian]

A year later (1998) the second album is released with Melina Kana on the cover and lead singer. But with the participation of the band Ashgabat from Turkmenistan to music, which gave a different air to all the songs, especially to those with a faster rhythm. Title: Spoils
12 songs on the cd, 3 are organic and one says Thanasis with Melina. In everything else, Kana sings. Although some songs were later recorded by others, the quality of Melina's voice in "Air" or at "Tonight" for me it is unsurpassed.

Υ.Γ. To find out about Massimo Troisi, watch the movie The postman

 

[zorian]

In all the songs the music and the lyrics are by Thanasis, with the sole exception of "Misdeal" that the words belong to Adriani Diagouma.
