Awesome compilation of Greek electronic music! 'Into the Light' shares synth pop, disco, ambient and new age riches from this much coveted underground scene. Ltd to 600 copies. Gatefold TIP!!!

From female electronic innovator Lena Platonos, to multi-instrumentalist Akis Daoutis and (renowned composer Mikis Theodorakis's son) George Theodorakis, the compilation serves as a journey from late '70s to the early '90s of greek electronic obscurities. Rarities include a Mihalis Rakintzis' track from his early composing era, Stavros Logaridis' sublime synth-prog instrumental 'Snif Snif', and Costas Charitodiplomenos' dub version of italo-disco 'What You Gonna Do' as 141 G.

*the label say - save yourself an estimated 900 euros in discogs prices!*

"...If like me, you've coveted the hen's teeth rare Akis LP, you'll be pleased to know two of the tracks are now available on this truly stunning compilation. Don't expect to be familiar with too many of the artists but instead revel in the spectacular lazer electronics, jazzy new age sensibilities and even lazy disco grooves contained within..I can almost feel the sand between my toes..."
