Ioannis Valiakos Fearless psychedelic rock with classic rock elements, sounding like the brainchild of Sean Lennon, Peter Green and Roger Waters. The instrumentation is truly masterful, with "Night Errant" sounding ike "The Green Manalishi" of our times. The keys on "Too Long Together" had my heart, while the horns and strings on "Rumi" sound like a more experimental Jethro Tull (if that is even possible). Ignore this masterpiece at you own peril, this album should make waves! Highly recommended!

about

Funky, swirling, supremely confident in its execution...emotionally evocative...a striking stylistic amalgam...tapping into a classic-style spirit that’s hard to pin to a year, but that derives in part from singer-songwriters of the early 1970s, and part from its own nuance...One part of one song answers another, in conversation with folk, psych, funk, soul, rock traditions

- theobelisk.net

The songwriting is terrific, the execution and performances are equally so...they apply an old-school touch coupled with a modern flair...a lot of blues influence and even a slight gospel vibe...performed with precision and panache
