who of you does know anything about an italian group of the 70's called "area" and their legendary greek vocalist called demetrio stratos?

in the official site of their keyboardist there is some sample of their great music.

my favourite album is "crack", but they are all great. (there is also real minimoog...)

I don't know the group. I know some interesting ones that were not so popular , though (not Italian, either): Aphrodite's Child (their '666' album is great!) or Brainticket (I've got a bootleg CD including their 2 albums). Both of the groups are early '70.

ha, aphrodite's child

with vangelis and demis rousos. i like it very much. specialy first recordings what they made in paris 1968-69:
- it's 5 o'clock
- rain and tears
- end of the world

they are greeks

btw: i was born in november '66, (when beatles finished revolver and started "pepper's" recording session) but i think that i know a lot about pop music from sixties!

I've got no Real Player (it gets more offensive to your computer each day) but looking at the pictures on Area's site their style oscilates in something like Residents/Plastic People of the Universe/SPK/Cassiber/Can, doesn't it?

mmmm, not at all...
some tracks are mp3. check the "Crac" recordings, and everything before "Gli dei se ne vanno......" included.
it's worth.

i know many italian performers and songs from '50,'60 & '70. one of my best is cameleonti's song - applausi.
now i listen renzo arbore and orchestra italiana. this is one of my best groups ever - i have renzo's 6 original cds

i also like vinicio capossela. album canzoni a manovella is masterpiece

i want reccomend to all - find and listen vinicio's songs: "maraja'"

anyone know some croatian's performer or any performer from former yugoslavia? is somebody heard for goran bregovic or emir kusturica & no smoking band?

they are very well known in italy, and i like them very much.
regarding all the italian stuff you mentioned, it's good, but nothing can beat the old area.
