great band indeed, after the first round I would not say that this is a case for psych/space exactly.
There are a lot of samples to detect on youtube, what a mission!!! Shocked

I hear folk, psychedelia, some songs are more of a heavy rock character (Atomic Rooster), a latin touch in the vein of Santana ...

tend to say this would be an excellent addition to the proto prog category, however, the team will take time to come to a proper decision

btw - great to follow the live take from 2011!!!

Interesting - I never knew they had a second album out.  I'd certainly be interested to hear it.

^^ Yes, I have no idea what this sounds like and whether it was a full album or sth else, maybe someone has listened to already?

Vlassic Mponatsos was he, one of the most emblematic figures in Greek music and film scene.

I like this band and it's a shame they only ever released one album. Their material is very good and had good potential but somewhat underdeveloped, I mean that the tracks are somewhat short and seem to end too soon where there was plenty scope for expansion and improvisation.

Peloma Bokiou from Greece, active in the early 70's with a couple of singles and one full LP

samples are attached, not sure if it is good enough for Psych or sounds too Proto- for us....

great suggestion, a borderline case indeed in prog terms, but a great find for all psych lovers.

Peloma Bokiou, or Peloma Boqueu?

Anyhow, good texture indeed. Tend to "YES".

No problem, thanks for the suggestion.
 
A couple of those tracks sound like Santana. The rest certainly has a psych feel... a borderline case maybe, but will ask the Psych Team to check it.
