Melting Ashes (Greece) - 1991 - Green Fuzz 1987

Melting Ashes :

Giorgos Afthinos

Vasilis Pagounis

Leonidas Papadakis

Makis Faros

The Melting Ashes were formed in 1986 and did a limited number of gigs

enlivened by slide shows and audience participation before splitting up in the spring of 1988.

Their only vinyl appearance had been on a rather low-fi sampler called "12 Raw Greek Groups".

They had recorded a few demos in the last months of their existence,

and Wipe Out decided to do a posthumous album in order to please the band's hard-core fans.

"Green Fuzz 1987" was released in early 1991 and is well worth getting,

even if it represents the hard side of the group rather than the psychedelic notes their music was shot through with.

The group was formed in 1986 and split up in 1988. Some years later their manager (Theodore Kritharis, owner of label)

reworked the recorded demos of 1987 along with some x-members of the band and released this "diamond".

A psychedelic garage record. One of the most important bands in their kind.

It contains 2 fantastic cover versions (GREEN FUZZ & I'M ON MY WAY).
