The week that starts today here at GME sheds light on a segment of Greece’s rock scene that has been in constant contact with global music trends; in fact, it has often led these trends in a pioneering manner. Monday’s destination: Socrates Drank the Conium. A legendary band, led by guitarist Giannis Spathas and bassist / vocalist Antonis Tourkogiorgis, Socrates created a unique sound in the 1970s, incorporating elements from progressive rock, hard rock and blues. Our track list hosts, among others, generous excerpts from Phos, the landmark 1976 album that resulted from their collaboration with Vangelis.
Produced and presented by Hercules Economou
