Akritas - Look Both Horse And Green (Και ιδού ίππος χλωρός)

Perhaps, the most ambitious Greek progressive album. "Akritas" formed in late 1972 by ex-"Poll", Stavros Logarides and ex-"Bourboulia", Aris Tasoulis. This 1973 concept release is full of complex multi-instrumental rhythmic patterns and musical textures. Psychospace guitars, baroque organs, jazz-piano tunes, thunderous drumming, swirling sound-effects and soaring vocals...Mixing the finest moments of Spring, Gracious, Arcadium, Dr.Z, ELP, Ossana, Canterbury music scene, Amon Duul II, Frank Zappa, and greek traditional music with their own unique and uncomparable stigma! The greek lyrics to "Akritas" are written by Kostas Ferris, responsible for Aphrodite's Child masterwork, "666". A mega prog killer and much in demand...

Una joya progresiva, no para cualkier oido. Gracias por fomentar la buena musica.

The title is translated wrongly. It's a quote from the Bible, Apocalypse 6:8.

Και ιδού ίππος χλωρός means 'And behold, a pale horse'.

[Koukoubaos300]

Γουστάρω ελληνική ψυχεδέλεια!

[TheParisthething]

Παιδιά αυτα ειναι τα τελευταια 3 λεπτα απο το κομματι "το ονειρο"!τι γραφεται "το θαυμα" και το "και ιδου ιππος χλωρος"!

Hi. I'm glad you decided to upload this tune,

but you need to make a correction.

You have the correct LP, but the tune that you've posted

is actually the last 3 and a half minutes of the tune "Το Θαυμα [The Dream]."

Yes, there is a tune on the LP called

"Και Ιδου Ιπποv Χλωροv (And Behold a Pale Horse),"

but this isn't it. Still, a fine treasure of an LP.
