(www.musicpost.gr) REVIEW "Mediterranean Myths" by Yiorgos Magoulas is an emotional instrumental album that features innovative combinations of instruments. Somewhere in these eclectic arrangements a Mediterranean feel is present. The tracks all hold a certain power to them and are very cinematic. The tracks on this CD envoke emotion. The production quality is great, especially considering it is electronic/sample based. All in all, Mr. Magoulas' musical style is highly unique and refreshingly undefinable. Highlights include "Promise," which is very well arranged, has a great build and a wonderful medley of instruments. "Color Suite - Prelude" is a string arrangement that will pull right at your heart. "Phaedra" is an intense orchestral piece with nice percussive elements and more interesting instrument choices. If you like unique, emotion driven orchestral music, you'll like this CD.
