Spooky Actions performs "Epitaph of Seikilos"

[mpoukoma]

beautifull :)

[Taurimenio]

In my eyes ancient greek music was the jazz of today. Yes, greek experiments a lot of solutions with sofisticated sounds and notes.Moreover they always try to creates always different music. I think also old greeks hate the harmonical sounds and sometimes they love to put notes that from the modern hears looks not magine to an armonical composition. I think that this relationship is working!!!!!!! Nice job.

[gastondimitri]

I prefer the original one

[Heyiolaos]

Sorry, but that was an abortion, because ancient feeling cannot be conveyed through jazz music.

[VolkColopatrion]

@Heyiolaos

that's not what they were trying to do. To think that is to miss the point of Jazz.

[jedancovek]

wow, this was unexpected!

[maire83]

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone put this to jazz <sigh> I know they're only doing what they know, but I wish they had at least kept the original mode in tact.

[Ayyyu]

Wow..I thought music was supposed to transcend cultural boundaries. Music is organic, it grows and evolves, so let it. The more different versions there are of this song the better! I prefer the original lyrics, but if musicians were all too scared to try anything different it'd be boring as hell.

[lambofreak55]

that is ONE UGLY sunohbich

[berstizof]

that's really stupid and unrespectful.

[nixter888]

You destroyed the song!!!..This is a blasphemy!!!

[PoesSoul7]

No....ma dai, è talmente assurdo che quasi mi piace.

[igalflint]

as a Spartam Gymnastic Intructor and as a true beholder of ancient greek values i really did not aprove such noise

[velerephon]

they should keep the hellenic lyrics.

[Aeschylus]

Ἄκουσες ποτὲ τοὺς μὴ-Ἕλληνες νὰ τραγουδοῦνε "ἀρχαῖα" ἑλληνικά; Καλύτερα νὰ τὰ μεταφράσουνε! :)

(I ask, "have you ever heard non-Greek singing what they claim to be ancient Greek?" Much better to translate it! I think they did a fine job: more power to 'em.

[hhistory]

you might re-title to indicate that this is a contemporary arrangment. good way to get extra hits but also a good way to annoy searchers for the original.

[Quag7]

Not at all...I can make out the melody just fine...This is actually kind of cool, imho.

[mansiaslib]

Are the lyrics the english translation of an ancient greek song?

[majortom51970]

Yes, they are
