This album was my introduction to Yanni. Many people may have images from the Live at the Acropolis concert which has been shown repeatedly on PBS, and may think of lush, orchestral ballads, but his earlier works were almost exclusively electronic. Here he is able to create playful, joyous melodies (as well as a couple of tender, gentle ones) that have none of the sterile feel of early electronic works. The music here is as sunny as the isles of Greece.

I listened to this CD many times when I was on my boat, at night. The water was calm the stars were brilliant and Yanni was the crowning touch. I can not enjoy my boat now but I can still listen to Yanni and I can relive those special times on my boat, even though I am in the middle of one of the most trying times of my life.

If I am correct, the title refers to Yanni's pre-solo days in a band of the title name. The pieces are nice, piano based melodies, with strong rhythms and arrangements. If you listen to Keys to Imagination, and are familiar with his current work, this album fits nicely in-between those styles. The cut "Swept Away" received some FM radio airplay.

I bought this "album" when it was new and played it repeatedly. The fidelity has gone from the cassette so now it's time to upgrade to a CD so that I don't wear it out. If you love the original Yanni works, you'll love this CD!

I love YANNI so I interduced his music to my boyfriend's father who loves to play his drums to music, he was hooked. He plays the YANNI LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS neary every night.

I have been a Yanni Fan for years. He has touched so many with his music and great sound. Yanni is truley one in a million. Thank you Yanni, for sharing your music with us.

Oh, my god. OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod. This is totaly the coolest music around. I like to invite my friends to my house and we raise the roof with Yanni! The music fills my heart wif warmness that is totally awesome. I let his music fill my head while I sleep, and then dream about Yanni and I and my friends raisin' the roof in front of my whole school. Some kids in my school make fun of me because I listen to the beautiful sounds of Yanni while they listen to stuip music like Will Smith. I know that, deep in their hearts, they love Yanni's music and cherish it. Until they admit it... ROCK ON, YANNI!

If I sang like that I'd probably be living in a homeless shelter. Yanni clearly does not have good abilities at singing. I mean I can sing better than Yanni and that's bad.
