fantastic something - if she doesn't smile (1984)

[4adfreak]

fantastic--- to think I have the album and I've never heard it---not after tonight!

[timjmoran]

Wow.. what a sweet little tune !!! BEAUtiful melody..(tho I have to admit I hated the

"drums" - I'm assuming it's a badly programmed drum machine) until about 1:50-

where they improved- a Lot !! Really nice harmonies.. and I would really like to know what instruments are used here- specifically the Harp-ish sounding stringed instruments.Nice production- and thankfully, not too 80's- dated ,

like a lot of stuff from this era.

I bought this in the summer of '84.Pete Young used to play it on Capital Radio on his saturday morning show. How times have changed! Fantastic record by Fantastic Something.From Ian Smith.Pax to all. Xxx.

Its a great tune, a record of the week of mine in '84 when I worked in radio. The flip side is a lovely instrumental of the same, I'll post it later.

Can anyone tell me WHO are these people?

[77tavi]

They are "fantastic something", a pop duo of greece twins.They released one album ever, but it doesn't include this song.

[mendozavr]

They also had a 2001 EP release on Siesta records.

@mantra3000 Two brothers from Greece, Alexandros & Konstantinos Veis.

@MACKROCKAS1 Thank you very much for your answer. They had the incredibly awesome kindness to answer my question themselves. Love to their music, always.
