Greek electro whiz Gouzonis has released three albums over the last four years, winning multiple awards for his music. What makes this all the more impressive is that it has all been done independently with no labels/agencies involved in supporting him. Sakis's music is entirely instrumental and this set is an atmospheric soundscape with extensive use of lush sweeping strings throughout the album and a dazzling variety of beats which lead the listener through the album. For me, the standout tracks are the simplest ones, where the range of sounds is kept to a minimum as on "Seed Of Hope" and "Holy Cure". Mr Gouzonis has real talent for creating complex and interesting arrangements that can engage and inspire the listener.
