Following the success of Echotropia, (No 6 in the WMCE, released in North and South America), greek singer, lyricist and fiction writer Kristi Stassinopoulou continues to pilot her own music pah into global consciousness. With one foot firmly planted in Greece's traditional folk rhythms and melodies and the other pointed towards a fresh mixture of future electronica, ambient, and '60s psychedelic rock, THE SECRETS OF THE ROCKS delves deep into Kristi's iconoclastic realm of the mystic and reveals a thrilling, high energy, moving, mesmerising series of tracks, enriched by tantalizing sound textures and ethereal vocal lines. Employing such traditional instruments as saz, flutes, bagpipes, lyre & nay, Kristi ...an Adriatic version of Bjork..., ...reminiscent of Marta Sebestyen..., ...greek version of Hedningarna..., ...you 'd think you were at an Airplane' concert..., - as been recently described by reviewers- blends her greek influences into a genredefying, neo-hippie fusion of world music.
THE SECRETS OF THE ROCKS were first written on remote Aegean beaches, by the waves, undistrurbed by the city lights, and are dedicated to those who are eventually losing their natural free space, to the kind of people who are being chased off by civilization.
