5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate Greek voice!, June 13, 2003

Anna Vissi's "X" is by far one of the best surprises you will find when stopping by a record store at the International section. She has managed to make a record that transcends language and music style that challenges as a timeless album. Being a huge fan of hers (I don't speak Greek) I have to give this cd the maximun rating for the following reasons:
. Anna's voice of course is an instrument itself, raspy on some tunes, high on others, soultry with a few; but overrall it let's you know that who sings is a woman with character, with passions and pains. She transmits those emotions very well.
. The music is a mix of classic Greek with modern technology. Some are danceable, some are very dark, some are serious, and some are just pure fun!
. The production is impecable, tracks laidout in an organized way, that makes it perfect, it flows wonderfully at the first spin, and then it keeps getting better.

Opens with her whispering to you what's about to happen, a catchy electronic tune, being followed by the most powerful song on the cd, the title track "X" (to me anyways) with a hauting piano arragement that leaves you hitting the repeat button. Other gems are number 3, great poppish tune, and one of my favorites number 5 with classic Greek string arragements. Others to consider are number 7 powerful trance/dance song with synths that I haven't heard done so greatly. Twelve songs that will make you want more!
Maybe the only thing missing was perhaps a better graphic design, it's a great picuture of Anna, but we sure deserved more than one.
I'm sure this will be a keeper for you, great collector; and if you are just now getting familiar with Greek and International music in general, try this Anna Vissi record and you'll find out what Greek music is all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars AHEAD OF IT'S TIME, November 12, 2008

Yes - Anna Vissi's X is way ahead of it's time.
Released in 2002 - only in 2007 did it match the sounds of electro-pop.
Nikos Karvelas has outdone himself again and the pairing of these two stars is unparalleled.
Favorite tracks: 1, 2, 7, 10
Also available seperately: the Remix X cd (5 tracks/2003)

This is a really good CD. Some are pop tunes, but no drastic deviations from the Greek flavored music style.
