Assisted by no less than two sidemen, among whom renowned conductor David Bedford, Vangelis played a large number of keyboard and percussion instruments. I'd never heard about that before. Has David actually worked with Vangelis? (The article seems to be quite inaccurate in other places...) Back to top

It's also mentioned in the Tourography. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Vangelis also arranged that tune earlier in 1966 with Zoe Kouroukli in their song called 'One Day in Zappion' - it's an instrumental version but definitely the same melody. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism.
