Maybe the most unknown  Greek band playing hard rock psychedelia in the seventies was a group with an extremely puzzling name: Ta Tessera Epipeda Tis Yparxis (or The Four Levels Of Existence to all you non-Greeks out there). They made one LP in 1976, on a very small Private  label (called Venus) and in a very limited edition. The album almost immediately disappeared and was  re-released after many years.

  Jay Z featuring  Rihanna and  Kanye West sampled The 4 Levels of Existence's "Someday in Athens" in 2009.

MEMBERS:  Nikolaos Grapsas, Athanasios Alatas, Marios Giamalakis, and Kristos Vlahakis.

 TRACKS: 

 Metamorphic, When The Snow Melts, The Village Postman, Wilderness, The Fool’s Trumpet, Our Fight, Disappointment, Child’s Song, Untitled, and Someday In Athens.

 Many people consider to be the best Greek psychedelic album ever recorded, a belief that would mean that the Four Levels of Existence LP would supercede albums by artists like Axis, Aphrodite’s Child, Socrates, and George Romanos. We’ll let you decide the argument, for of one thing there is no doubt—that this is tremendous hard edged psychedelic/progressive material, originally released in a very small quantity by the private Venus label from 1976. As band leader Athanasios Alatas said: “Through Nick’s musical quest, Mario’s sensitivity, Christos’s madness, and my thoughts, we create many songs, all characterized by a psychedelic music sound, Greek lyrics, and monumental guitar solos.
