Description/Reviews:
Potental Deltas differentate itself from the previous album in the fact that the whole album is performed solely by Nikitas Kissonas. However, what stands out in this album is the inclusion of Greek lyrics along with English and the co-existence of Greek traditonal music with modern English progressive rock. Thus, the album consists of two parts, the English and the Greek.
