  Encyclopedia: Music of Greece
Music theory is the name for a branch of study that includes many different methods for analyzing, classifying, and composing music and the elements of music.

 Greek Music. Plato. Pythagoras. Apollo. Borghese Plaques at Hammerwood. Parthenon. National Curriculum: Ancient Greeks ...
Music was described as an art exerting great power (ethos) over human beings, and certain musical styles came to be associated with particular peoples and deities.
The musical and lyrical tradition represented by these personalities reached its apex in the Athenian drama of the 5th and 4th centuries BC, a dramatic tradition in which solo and choral singing, instrumental music, and dance all played essential roles.
He is thus given credit for discovering that the interval of an octave is rooted in the ratio 2:1, that of the fifth in 3:2, that of the fourth in 4:3, and that of the whole tone in 9:8.

 MUSIC IN MEDITERRANEAN ISLANDS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Study Group on "Antropology of music in mediterranean cultures" of the International Council for Traditional Music was founded in 1992 at the Fondazione Ugo and Olga Levi.
The sixth meeting of the Study Group is devoted to a theme not yet dealt with in previous occasions, that is, music and musical life in Mediterranean islands.
The meeting is based on extensive presentations on the music and musical life of the most important Mediterranean islands (Balearics, Corse, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, Crete, Rhodes, Lesvos, Cyprus, etc.) delivered by well known scholars.

Their crazy sounds are a speed-hopped swinger's bash of blaring trumpet, booming trombone, slinky organ, and spacy sitar, with a beefy foundation of mod guitar, bass, and drums.
Music ripe for revival, Sexadelic Dance Party falls somewhere between the glorious lounge orchestrations of Esquivel and the cheap Casio-funk porn music championed by bands like the Beastie Boys.
If you like the music of the early 70s but aren't after a succession of quickfire pop songs, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this.

Thankfully we live in an era where old obscure music is being dredged up, nicely repackaged and remastered and re-released.
What makes Beat at Cinecitta so great is how in love with music it is, jammed with all sorts of styles and approaches, it's also a perfect introduction to the burgeoning genre of Italian soundtracks being made available again in collections like "Easy Tempo" "Beretta '70" and the dozen and counting re-released Ennio Morricone soundtracks.
Albums like this come along during these years of pop-star overload to show us all that music can be fun and frivolous, with a giant heart and massive talent behind it and still be just as relevant 30 years after being recorded.

The world music marketplace is a crowded one in which a motley band of vendors vie for the attention of patrons who are no less diverse.
Particularly notable are four albums with music from countries that were a part of the Ottoman empire (one is devoted to Eastern and Western influences in music from this region), and a six-CD set of music from Irian Jaya.
Recordings of music from village traditions and their urban offshoots are produced in bewildering abundance, both by (often local) cultural institutions and commercial labels.

 Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra - Futuremusik - Review
Although the lounge trend rolled through a year or so ago and flooded the market with their sounds, much of the music that was released had absolutely no soul and was even less inspired.
Like the music for Vampyros Lesbos, it's older music that is slightly ahead of its time and has even been an influence for electronic artists such as today (more well-known praises has come from Air, Richard Dorfmeister, Coldcut, Pulp, and Dimitri from Paris).
The actual music on the disc spans about a five year period betweeen 1965 and 1970, but despite being 30 years old (or more), it really does have its moments and the recording quality of it all sounds great as well.

I kind of stumbled onto the genre by accident, because I was also getting into 60's and 70's soundtrack music which leads you to Library music (the aural equivilant of stock photos) which leads you all sorts of places.
This is what happens when you ask jazz musicians to play psychedelic rock - which brings me back to what's so great about this genre - it was a conglomeration of so many styles that were pushed together in order to make an all appealing sound of the age.
The music is similar (albeit, the Schulmadchen Report is definitely more uptempo the whole way through) and you can decide if it's your cup of tea before you blow a lot of money on a 45 minute album.

This CD, "Vampyros Lesbos: Sexadelic Dance Party", is actually 20 minutes shorter as many of the more experimental tracks have being omitted, most notably the 'stalking music' from "Vampyros Lesbos" but is still a gorgeous edition and well worth owning.
The music is just so much fun, you feel like grooving the moment it begins until long after the albumns over.
My favourite from the ones represented here is "Vampyros Lesbos", but all Jess Franco's films are cult classics and Soledad Miranda's brathtaking scene prescence made her legendary icon of Euro-cult cinema even though she tragically died so young.

In VAMPYROS LESBOS, director Jess Franco inverts the story so that all the male characters are female and has all the action take place in broad daylight.
Perhaps the best example of this is is when Linda Westinghouse (Ewa Stromberg as the Harker character) meets Countess Carody for the first time--it's Soledad Miranda, the mysterious, exotic and doomed Portugese beauty in all her resplendent glory: tanned, moist and clad in a white bikini, her depthless eyes shielded by huge sunglasses.
First off, I'm mad beacuse I just heard a new special edition of Vampyros Lesbos and She Killed in Ecstacy are comming out in October, which will probably be better than the out of print synapse dvd we all have.

 Jess Franco: VAMPYROS LESBOS SEXADELIC DANCE PARTY CD
The music of Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Schwab-originally released on two rare 1969 albums, PSYCHEDELIC DANCE PARTY and SEXADELIC-had a style all its own; it was "acidjazz-pop,' alternately electrifying, languid and effervescent.
The surface was often lively, with bold horns and laughing sitars, but beneath this ocean of sound lay a dark and delirious undertow, conjured by ominous swirls of Hammond organ and reverberating psycho-chords which invited the listener to inhale and succumb.
I'd loved this music for years, but had only heard it on the dulled-down, mono soundtracks of various bootleg videos.

The producer usually orders them to stay in the background and cheeky solos are regarded as taboo, for fear of upstaging the "artiste" who is paying them handsomely for their time.

I really liked this; it is a collection of songs from a couple of Jesus Franco films, and whereas they don't fit all that well in the movies, by their own they complete a 70's Acid Trip!

 sonomu: Beretta70   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This fine German label has released a groundbreaking series of compilations over the last few years, almost singlehandedly documenting the exotic archives of 60s/70s continental European film and television music: see also Vampyros Lesbos, Beat At Cinecittà I and II, and the Schülmadchen Reports.
Amidst the overwrought vocalising of some bizarre lyrics, presumably lost in translation into English, are some delightful musical touches: vigorous funk; continental pop; pizzicato harpsichord riffs; swirling strings; anthemic moogs and synths; stratospheric guitar; and languid bass solos played by groovy chaps with large moustaches (probably).
The names, with a couple of exceptions, will probably be unfamiliar to all but the most obsessive of TV theme aficionados e.g.

Instead of doing three camera set ups for three different shots he sets the camera up once, and will proceed to zoom in on the subject at several different distances, saving a hell of a lot of money and time in the process, but occasionally inducing nausea in the viewer.
The dodgy disco soundtrack does not sit as well as the directors choice of jazz soundtrack does in say Vampyros Lesbos 1970.
But I think a hell of a lot of films at the time, had disco soundtracks, which we look at as dodgy now, but were probably really cool (groovy!) at the time, so I guess in this respect the soundtrack isn't out of place, but it still sounds weird!
