Each year that passes leaves me with some great music moments. Some have to do with live experiences (concerts or festivals) and some other with discovery of old jewels from the past (some examples for bands that I discover in 2011 are The Smiths, New Model Army and Marillion). However, the most important music moments have to do with new albums which thrilled me or attract my attention and I spent some considerable time listening to them. These new albums have to do either with new ideas, new trends or with old styles in a modern perspective (typical example the…

2010 is coming to an end. I have already a lot of things to remember from 2010 (trips, scientific progress, sport activities, knowledge, personal moments), but I will also remember it from the musical variety that surrounded all these moments. I tried hard to fit all these albums that mainly attracted my attention or shocked me in a pleasant way in a "Top-20". Initially I thought that it would be an easy task. But I was wrong. This year were a lot of interesting albums that could easily have made it in my personal list and sadly I had to…

***After being informed that the Solar Fake's debut album has been released in 2008, I had to remove it. The new entry on my top-20 is the incredible debut album of The Eden House which unfortunately I heard it the first days of 2010. So, this change was mandatory. ***

2009 is over. A new musical year has already started. However, the previous year left some albums that either surprised me and gain me directly or they grew inside me gradually and through time. So, I decided to prepare again a top-20 with these albums, as I was doing till…

2009 is over. A new musical year has already started. However, the previous year left some albums that either surprised me and gain me directly or they grew inside me gradually and through time. So, I decided to prepare again a top-20 with these albums, as I was doing till 2007. This list is based on my own opinion and taste. It has also been influenced by the last year's statistics of Last.Fm, especially for albums that were fighting for the same position. So, feel free to comment on my choices or discover albums that you might have not noticed.…

Yeah, noch ein mal for running!!!

This was my last chance to go and run, as far as in a few days I'm going to Bayern for Christmas and from there I'm flying back to Greece for a few weeks of relaxing vacations…

However, this time the challenge was even bigger. -1 degrees of Celcious is not what you can describe as "perfect weather". Also a forecast of an imminent rain (who in the end turned to be correct) had also allured me!

Again, the soundtrack was more than perfect. Having already loaded the correct playlist with upbeat songs that…

According to my personnal taste, the album that I liked most last year was these…enjoy!

This is my personal Top-20 for 2006, according which 2006's albums I liked and I heard mostly. However, Last.FM couldn't help in this list because I subscribed just a month ago. Maybe 2007's Top-20 will be influenced from it. I'm expecting your comments but take under consideration that this is my PERSONAL opinion…

Finally, the Greek pilgrims, Marilena “Bathory”, Sophia “Tool”, Kostas “Mysticum” and me, reached the holy city of Oslo! The reason: the Inferno Festival 2006 of course! 3+1 days of Black, Death, Doom and Thrash metal, in the Metropolis of True Norwegian Black metal.

Our journey begins the Wednesday 12th! After having found our hotel, we walked at the streets (gata) of Oslo, till we reached the Rock In club where VREID were gonna play that night. A small, warm club, where we found another Greek comrade, Michael “Troll”. The first band that appeared in the specific show were BETEA REACH,…
