"It's not that I enjoyed a lot listening to this beautiful album, it's that fealing of relief to realize that some Greek musicians decided to dig deep into a territory that seemed no man's land until now: rembetika and old popular Greek songs. Brothers Orestis and Lysandros Falireas suggested a total new approach to these beloved tunes and though they haven't been the first Greek musicians to do so, they have build a whole concept abum on this approach. Their first album is more than old-popular-tunes-plus-beat, more than nostalgia: it's about looking at the past through today's eyes. It's a sincere testimony."About Imam Baildi (from :myscpace)After a few successful experiments with old Greek tunes we liked from our father's collection of 78rpm vinyls, we decided to produce an entire album using samples from Greek tunes from the 40's, 50's and 60's. The outcome is hard to describe in terms of genre since all the tracks vary in style. Nevertheless, all of them carry the oriental vibes of the original tracks. The idea was to bring forward some of these forgotten gems from Greek artists of the past century and blend them with modern sounds and rhythm into something new and unique. It took a lot of experimentation and loads of time and effort because what we most feared was ending up with a cheap sounding boxy beat over an old sample pattern. We focused on truly blending old and new, in bringing every addition under the old recordings' skin. To what extent we have achieved that is not for us to say, for that matter we would very much appreciate any feedback.

The Imam Baildi album will be released 29th October 2007.
