The Rules Of The Game: Original Studio Recordings 1978-1996 CD

While George Theodorakis never enjoyed the mainstream success of his composer father, Mikis, he nevertheless enjoyed a productive career. That career - a mixture of small-run vinyl and CD releases on obscure labels and soundtracks to little-known Greek films and TV shows - is celebrated on this excellent collection from Greek diggers Into The Light. Theodorakis' sound took in the new age and soundtrack influences of his father, as well as ambient, dub, early electronica and quirky synth-pop. It's a blend that makes for a wonderfully rich and varied compilation, with sparse, alien-sounding analogue compositions nestling next to inspired, beatless excursions.
