| Pantofis � �The Greeks have a wrod for it� (Germany 2003; ca. 33 min.)
Hello, my name is Pantofis Rambouglou. I came to Germany a while ago with a lot of gold that I stole from my parents. With it I financed the recordings on this collection in the summer of 2003. Once again I recorded the album totally on my own � in the finest Pantofis-tradition. The songs were meant to represent an album the record companies would kill for. As it is, it represents my taste and the so-called �Frankfurt state of mind�. After all this is my 3rd attempt for 2003, so don�t expect any knock-off�s. That being said, it is my highest priority to please you. Have fun! �Greek Song� This one is about the sentiments I have for �The homecountry of Vangelis�. I like it very much, it�s very me. �Tomorrowboy� More of a concept than a real song, this one is about a drug addict becoming sober. Musically, I have a whole load of tunes like this. �Only me and my guitar� One of the songs dedicated to my guitar. The big synth break is based on a tune I wrote while taking the escalator. �The escalator of death� �I knew It Was You� A very conscious Yes-ripoff, strongly reminiscent of their own �New Languages�. This harmony-laden ditty comes complete with a bass-solo. �My guitar is the answer� One of my most true songs, but the recorded version is not very good. �The secret diaries� As you can easilly point out, one of the biggest joys on this sessions was playing the bass guitar. This is basically a bass-solo based on �the secret diaries� �Sleeping alone� When you present a collection of brand new tunes, not every single one can be very good. �Who Is That Man?� The most personal song I�ve written so far. It is based on the kind of �nice� behaviour that mainly puzzles people. �Hate Street� A song about my homeplace and a consious attempt at shaking off the �nice-guy�-image. The odd stereo-imaging comes as desired: Pantofis singing next to a closed rehearsal-room door, while the band is throbbing and blasting away with the bass-drum virtually hammering at the door! �Let�s Hope� I knew this was going to become the closing song as I wrote it. To my delight I ended up emulating the latter-day Paul McCartney. |
