Description/Reviews
The project deals with nocturnal images, reflections and sentiments of an otherworldly shady universe rather absurd and surreal than claustrophobic.
From the very first notes you can easily indentify the sound of this excellent musician. The music is even more expanded aimed by an open airy production.
From Taki's imaginative guitar work and hauting melodies to the galloping flute and swirling hammond tones of the eerie sonic landscapes, everything results in the creation of a piecework which is here to stay!
Put all these under the psych-progressive umbrella and you have a magnum opus. Exhilarating, mesmerizing and utterly exceptional! (lpcdreissues.com)

Description/Reviews
Takis Barbagalas, guitarist and composer, is the driving force behind the excellent Will-O-The Wisp and Manticore's Breath  bands. He creates an instrumental, concept, atmospheric, psychedelic-progressive album based on the ancient greek myths about Esperus and Phosphorus. The powerful blend of guitars, farfisa organ and flutes creates a dreamy landscape alternated between the Light and the Dark. Dreamy, mystical, sentimental, poetic.

Description/Reviews
Manticore's Breath is Will-O-The Wisp, who have outgrown their old name and musical style. It is heavier, louder and more mature than their previous works, combining new influences, heavier approaches with their well-known UK early 70s progressive direction. Six long tracks with great rhythm and fuzz guitars, organ and powerful English vocals. This time the sound of the band is less progressive and moves towards a more psychedelic, hard and strong bluesy doom sound.

Description/Reviews
Lemonade Influence is a new Greek psychedelic progressive rock band, where young talented guitarist and songwriter Kyriakos Iliopoulos joined forces with ex-members of the most important contemporary Greek psychedelic band Purple Overdose. This is their first album, a great double LP concept album, highly influenced by early ’70s British psychedelic/progressive music – it consists of seven long, original progressive rock tracks, with excellent male, female vocals and great harmonies by a group of excellent musicians.
