George Romanos is a Greek artist who recorded several albums in the sixties and seventies. His music ranges from Greek pop to psychedelic rock. "Two Small Blue Horses" released in 1970.Nowadays it is considered as one of the best Greek rock albums of all times. In 1968 George worked with "Vangelis and his Orchestra" on several songs that appeared on his album "In concert and in the studio".
"In the studio" the members of Vangelis' "orchestra" were in fact the same musicians that would later form the group "Aphrodite's Child", after the group travelled to France in search of a more international audience."In Concert", there are songs composed both by Manos Hadjidakis and George Romanos.
George Romanos - Two Small Blue Horses 1970 Greece": Ultra rare Greek early 70s exotic psychedelic acid leaking rocker with fuzzy guitar, phased vocals, effects, and tripped out vibe all over. Exotic melodies coupled with a full-force fuzz assault, with a nod to the Byrds "Eight Miles High". Original vinyl pressings sell for over $1,500. George Romanos began his career singing songs composed by Manos Hadjidakis inside the traditions of folk greek music.
In 1965 he participated for the first time in an Hadjidakis’ album("Kapetan Michalis").
In 1968 Romanos relased the album "In concert and In the studio" was released.
In its first part ("In Concert"), there are songs composed both by Manos Hadjidakis and George Romanos. In the second part ("In the Studio"), there are songs composed by George Romanos, accompanied by members of the band “Aphrodite's child". (Yes, the first Vangelis band) Those songs were the first signs of what was going to follow two years later.
In 1970 the album "Dyo mikra gallazia aloga" (Two Little Blue Horses) was released. Nowadays it is considered as one of the best greek rock albumsof all times.
Its style is deeply acid and psychedelic, with some greek, ethnic elements. Alekos Karakantas (the guitar player) made lots of musical experimentations and effects in combination with the vocal distortions of George Romanos, which were unconventional to the greek rock stage of the time.
The album is full of distorted wha wha and fuzz pedals which in combination of the Mediterranean touches and the excellent and solid Romano vocals make this album a great example of non western psych.
