08 - Eurochild (07/07/98)

Green Was Greener is now the solo project of Thomas Stratakis, who returns two years after the release of their debut "Introspective" with a new album entitled "Love Divine". 

The lyrics of “Love Divine” are inspired from loss, futility, death and Dante's "Divine Comedy". Although the creative process did not start with this concept, specific circumstances and personal experiences resulted in a very personal album. Sonically, the twelve tracks explore neo-psychedelia within the context of pop music, without any specific musical influences.

The album was recorded at Thomas Stratakis' home, except for the drums on the songs "Someday" and "Mirage" and the vocals, which were recorded at Mad Hat Studio and he has played all the instruments with the exception of some acoustic guitars in the songs "Someday", "No Shape" and "Mirage", played by Nikos Vogiatzakis. The decision to mainly use synthesizers and minimize guitars, as opposed to the previous album, seems to have created a significantly different sound. Thomas Stratakis produced the album with the help of Nikos Vogiatzakis, aiming to capture the emotional charge of the songs as much as possible, while creating a danceable mood for the listener.

Out on LP and Digital via Inner Ear.

Οι Green Was Greener είναι πλέον το solo project του Θωμά Στρατάκη, που επιστρέφει, δύο χρόνια μετά την κυκλοφορία του ντεμπούτου “Introspective”, με το νέο του album “Love Divine”. 

Το στιχουργικό περιεχόμενο του “Love Divine” είναι επηρεασμένο από την "Θεία Κωμωδία" του Δάντη, την απώλεια, τη ματαιότητα και τον θάνατο. Αν και η δημιουργική διαδικασία δεν ξεκίνησε με αυτό το concept, συγκεκριμένες συνθήκες και προσωπικά βιώματα είχαν σαν αποτέλεσμα ένα πολύ προσωπικό album.  Mουσικά τα δώδεκα κομμάτια εξερευνούν τη νέο-ψυχεδέλεια στο πλαίσιο της ποπ μουσικής, χωρίς να έχουν συγκεκριμένες μουσικές επιρροές.

Η ηχογράφηση του δίσκου έγινε στο σπίτι του Θωμά Στρατάκη, εκτός από τα τύμπανα στα τραγούδια "Someday" και "Mirage" και τις φωνές, που ηχογραφήθηκαν στο Mad Hat Studio, και ο ίδιος έχει παίξει όλα τα όργανα με εξαίρεση κάποιες ακουστικές κιθάρες στα τραγούδια "Someday", "No Shape" και "Mirage", που παίχτηκαν από το Νίκο Βογιατζάκη. Η επιλογή να χρησιμοποιηθούν κυρίως συνθεσάϊζερ και να μειωθούν οι κιθάρες, σε σχέση με το προηγούμενο άλμπουμ, φαίνεται να έχει δημιουργήσει έναν αρκετά διαφορετικό ήχο. Η παραγωγή έγινε από το Θωμά Στρατάκη με τη βοήθεια του Νίκου Βογιατζάκη, με στόχο να αποτυπωθεί όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερο η συναισθηματική φόρτιση του δίσκου, αλλά παράλληλα να δημιουργείται στον ακροατή μια χορευτική διάθεση.

Κυκλοφορεί σε LP και Digital album από την Inner Ear.

Fronted by vocalist Samy Birnbach (aka DJ Morpheus, freestyle DJ extraordinaire and compiler of the Freezone series), Minimal Compact were one of the most inspirational bands of the '80s. They blended funky rock rhythms and incisive guitars with flavours from their native Middle East. The band were active from 1981 to 1988, and released 6 studio albums and a live album. They garnered a large and fanatic following all across Europe and the USA, where some of their tracks (including Statik Dancin') remain underground club favourites to this day.
