A couple reviews:
Like many Greek bands at that time Axis relocated to France and soon discarded their pop roots and went progressive big-time with this album. One of the finest of all Greek progressive albums, it covers so much ground for an almost jaw-dropping first listen. And it's still fresh and unique today. Beware though, no other Axis release is at all like this! (ULTIMA THULE)

Axis is as eclectic an album as you'll find from the early 70s. In some ways, it mirrors Aphrodite's Child's classic "666" album, with its mix of song oriented pop psych and long complex instrumental journeys. Axis begins as a straight up hard rock album and moves over to Canterbury jazz rock and then onto free jazz. Side 2 is similar, though they add a symphonic rock angle as well. The keyboards on Axis are splendid featuring anything from fuzz overloaded organ to jazzy electric piano to layers upon layers of mellotron that could have become King Crimson's worst nightmare. The album features two bona fide monster tracks: "Materializing the Unlimited" and "The Planet Vavoura".
This is a surprising recording from the golden age !!!(music emporium)
