Δημήτρης Πουλικάκος ‎– Μεταφοραί Εκδρομαί Ο Μήτσος 1976 Greece,Experimental, Prog Rock



Emblimatic figure of 70's Greek Rock (and beyond), composer, singer, radio producer and actor, born in Athens in 1943 and an early member of Eksadaktylos.Since mid-70's Poulikakos focused on his solo career (among other collaborations) and this heavy Zappa-influenced album is a mix between poetic Pop-Rock and Jazz/Psychedelic Rock with sarcastic lyrics and narrations all the way through.A quite uneven release, loaded with vocals and voices, which can't be appreciated by foreign listeners, but instrumental parts are quite eclectic with lots of jazzy vibes and psychedelic references, featuring electric guitar, piano, sax/clarinet, flute, bouzouki and sporadic complex moves as well as Greek Laiko sounds.Jazzy, ever-changing avant-prog with an irreverent sense of humor, similar to Komintern, Red Noise, Albert Marcœur, and of course Frank Zappa. Even if you can't understand the lyrics it still sounds pretty funny.As most Greek records from the 1970s, this one is fairly uneven in terms of style as it easily jumps from complex progressive rock to comedy and back. Then again, Iraklis also had their share of dodgy rock'n'roll / boogie tracks, not to mention Socrates whose oeuvre was also full of missteps. What distinguishes this album from its contemporaries, though, is the obvious Zappa influence - and quite like Zappa, Dimitris Poulikakos proved that the genius and the ridiculous often go side by side.
