Description:
In 1975 Vangelis worked with the Greek rock band Socrates on their third album “Phos”. The band consists of three members at the time, Antonis Tourkogiorgis, John Spathas and George Tradalidis. Their cooperation with Vangelis lasts only for this one album, he is credited for producing the album, playing keyboards and percussion and also for composing one of the songs.

Before and after this album Socrates made a number of other albums, sometimes under the imaginative name ‘Socrates drank the conium’…

“Phos” is not a masterpiece of an album (but certainly the better for Vangelis’ contribution) and Socrates as a band would have remained highly obscure and of interest to blues specialists only, were it not for their involvement with the much better-known Vangelis. For him, it was probably just an opportunity to “let his hair down”, have some fun and help out a few fellow Greeks. The result is enjoyable enough to listen to once in a while, as simply another oddity in the long Vangelis canon.
