It's been a few days since I last posted. I was in the north-west part of Greece in a remote village in the mountains. Thus no internet access.

But I have returned. Not to Corinth, but to the village where my family originate from. It's in the mountains overlooking the sea and beaches.

I have had some tracks that I've wanted to post for the last week but Greek Windows is exceptionally difficult to navigate.

But alas! I have overcome this problem and am very happy to present you the few tracks which have been played on repeat on my Mp3 player whilst I lay on the pebble beaches.

The first track I want to show you is by an artist called Rayflash. He used to be known as Drinking Beer Cat but has thankfully changed his name.

His latest track called "Flash Dancer" is simply exceptional. Especially when you get to about mid-way through the track and it breaks into some serious synth and vocoder (possibly voice box) action.

Rayflash - Flash Dancer (zshare) (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

I like to theme things. I guess this stems from my neuroticism. So the next track is from Mr Flash!

It's called "Over the Top" and comes from Ed Rec Vol. III. It's one of my favourite tracks from the compilation.

I honestly would find any excuse to blog one of my favourite bands of all time... Queen!

So as promissed. More Flash action.

One of my favourite Queen songs that hasn't been bastardised by shitty boy bands:

That's it from me. Till next time ;)

Πολλή Αγάπη,

Hmmm... Now for another fact I believe.

Greek Fact #3: To get to the north of Greece I had to travel by car for 5 hours in 40 degree heat. But it wasn't the heat that was making me uncomfortable. It was the roads and lack of respected road rules.

To save money, most roads are 1 and a half lanes each direction. So to overtake someone you have to go onto the opposite side of the road. (usually whilst travelling at 130 km/h in a 90 zone). And to my horror, this occurs even when there is only 1 lane.

This might explain why there are so many head on collisions. I thought the Pacific Highway was bad!
