axis

Like many Greek bands at that time, Axis relocated to France and soon discarded their pop roots and went progressive big-time with this album. It's a mix of song oriented pop-psych and long complex instrumental journeys. Axis begins as a straight up hard-rock album and moves to Canterbury jazz-rock. The keyboards on Axis are splendid, they feature anything from fuzz overloaded organ to jazzy electric-piano, to layers upon of mellotron that could have become King Crimson's worst nightmare. One of the finest of all Greek-progressive albums.
