Product Description

CD Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intruiging debut from Demis. 12 Sep 2010
By M.G.A
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This album was originally released as 'Fire And Ice' in 1971 and is Demis Roussos' debut LP, recorded after the demise of Aphrodite's Child.
This album will come as a slight surprise to those accustomed to the MOR output with which he made his name, as it still carries traces of his previous group.
Much of the material has a distinctive Greek feel to it with subtle proggy touches in evidence throughout as Demis pursues a pop oriented direction with little to suggest the romantic direction he would pursue on his next LP 'Forever And Ever' (1973).
The album features his first European hit 'We Shall Dance', one of the few tracks to hint at what would come next as the bulk of the material sees Roussos almost carrying from where Aphrodite's Child left off, albeit it in a more commercial vein on a record which makes for an absorbing listen and, truth be told, is probably his best album.
A must have for Roussos fans which constantly surprises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent first album By Aphrodite's Child vocalist Demis Roussos 6 April 2011
By G. S. Fazakas
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Before going commercial Demis Roussos released this album in the wake of the splitting Aphrodite's Child. It is excellent and heralds back to the previous two A.C. albums but with a greek mystical feeling to it. Get hold of a copy now!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars More than just good pop music 14 Jan 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
After 30 years of listening to music (mostly progressive rock and heavy metal), I find that I also enjoy Demis's albums from the 70's. This is undoubtedly some of the best popular music ever produced (along with Abba, maybe). One of my favorites is his first, "On The Greek Side Of My Mind." It is significantly less pop-influenced than his other albums and even has some progressive rock elements (no surprise since Demis was in Aphrodite's Child with Vangelis). The album flows very well and is an enjoyable listen, start to finish. Now if only we can get a label somewhere to reissue "My Only Fascination" from 1974, we'd be in pretty good shape.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!!!! 8 Jun 2013

A Classic Album. In his first album Demis is between his progressive rock beginnings in Aphrodite's Child and his later romantic/pop music.
