kabamaru Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Artist: Spyweirdos (Spyros Polychronopoulos) Album: For Children to Play Label: Z.M.A. Records, Greece Style: IDM, Electro, Downtempo, Experimental Date: 25th July, 2005 Tracklist: 01. Two Little Lamps 02. Spyweird It 03. No Eye Banda 04. Only For People Who Saw It 05. Goblins & Arrows 06. Never Cry Wolf 07. You Where Never There 08. Planet For Children 09. Girl To Midi 10. Loop A To Loop D 11. No, Not Yet 12. Black Paint 13. Are You Into It? 14. Why So Sad 15. Never December 16. Summer Somewhere This is the second album from Spyros Polychronopoulos under the artist name Spyweirdos (the first one was the double cd Fairytale, which I will have to track down eventually). Let me start by saying that this is a very well rounded electronic album, it gives the impression of a very personal album (I can imagine Spyros working in his studio for hours, lost in his feelings and thoughts) with a carefully crafted (and very strong!) melancholic mood. There is never too much complexity in the tracks and the whole album is a well paced, not rushed journey through mellow emotions. There is no point in going through the tracks in this mini review, the album is full of gentle synth and piano melodies and clever beats. It gets a bit darker and (even) more atmospheric in the last 10-15 minutes. I am not sure about this, but this album gives me this retro-feeling, I'm pretty sure I've listened to similar sounds before (electro/experimental circa 94) but I can't find any specific album to back this up right now. Anyway, if you enjoy some quality mellow and floating electronica then try this. Overall, a very mature album, I think this will age very well. Recommended!

unikos Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 havent got this album yet... but i know its quite nice! i ve listened to some of the tracks .. i also liked a lot "fairytales". his previous double album.. its worth noting that spyweirdos is one half of "weird alchemy" (together with john spyridakis). have you heard their album wired alchemy? thats psytrance of course, so pretty different from spyweirdos stuff.. btw, i m pretty sure fairytales was/is on sale at lotos records in salonika..
