This is a wonderful album, bringing the band many steps forward! Fresh and inspired psychedelic/progressive rock including folk instruments from the traditionan music scene of their 'village' - the beautiful Epirus (northwest Greece). Personally one of my top records for 2019. We need more bands like VIC !!

I was fascinated when I heard the album. Brilliant music from Villagers of Ioannina City. I became a big fan of them.

If you wish to hear few fine melodies, listen to Tool, Dimmu Borgir, Meshuggah, Slipknot, Pantera, Isis, Opeth, Fates Warning, Chroma Key, Danzig, Alice In Chains, Audioslave, Kyuss... and of course Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden.

I feel like this albums is somewhat overrated. I do enjoy the psychedelic stoner thingy, but this album gets too repetitious sooner or later. And then there's the massively overblown length, which is somewhere around 65 minutes. That's just too much.

You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!

A great hidden gem! Heavy Psychedelic Rock with folk and progressive touches.

8.8/10 for me - 'Age Of Aquarius' is the standout track. 'Dance Of Night' and 'Father Sun' are both also great.

I was surprised to see an album from an invisible band have such a high average score (9) with relatively many votes (45). Now that I've listened to it, I get it: this is great! "Father Sun", "Millenium Blues" and "Cosmic Soul" are such groovy bangers, all right after one another

Absolutely stunning album from beginning to end, so beautifully crafted and well performed, and thoroughly deserves it's high praise and high rating. It's pretty much flawless tbh.

"Cosmic Soul" makes my mind wander to places I never thought existed, it's a stunning song!

This band is probably the best thing to come out of Greece since fried calamari.
