(A
Small Collection of) Press Comments |

...The
sound of "The Plastic Box" is
definitely pushing Greek music forwards. We
think, though, that the true power of the record
will be made more obvious by its sound's
reverberation than the sound itself. Its
capability to intervene, preface things to come
and reveal hidden sides of soundscapes that we
until now used to consider as worn out, will
then be fully appreciated. In all cases, the
ones who'll choose to join the trip will be
carried away. |

Until
now, success has eluded Greece in its
bid for any kind of credible homegrown
music. That's all about to change,
thanks largely to Athens' Hitch-Hyke
stable which has discovered a wealth of
talent in and around the ancient city. By
far, the most interesting is one man
called Antonis Livieratos, whose 1998 LP
"To Terastio Kitrino Pragma"
(roughly: "That Huge Yellow
Thing") is cut from the same
organic cloth as Tortoise...

| Anything
new by Antonis Livieratos is a major event even if
it is as short in duration as the 24 minute/ four
track long "Kokkinos Ouranos". His urban
lyricism is preserved, here, intact. As intact as
his ability to keep the borderline between
calmness and paranoia obscure. |
