I always like it when Vangelis goes a little Greek on his compositions. He's done whole albums of Greek songs with Irene Papas too.

I just got that record a month or so ago. I guess I should listen to it!
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: Greece
Surprisingly I've not heard much from Greece outside the usual exports like Vangelis, Irene Papas, Nana Mouskori, Maria Callas, Iannis Xenakis et al. I like all of these to varying extents. A lesser-known artist (I guess) that I do love, however, would be Manos Hadjidakis:

Re: Greece
I hate to make Kaspar feel bad, but I am a genuine fan of Demis Roussos and Aphrodite's Child. I do have a soft spot for Eurovision and all that '70s universal pop, but I have always felt he stands above that. He has a quavering voice that is strange but also capable of soaring. He's got a lot of great songs, not just the hits.

That's not a lesser known artist man! In Greece he's the most famous one. Also my hometown's only claim to fame.
I run out of talent

The best thing I can say about him is that my dad likes him.

I mean for the foreign audience. I assumed he was well-known in Greece!

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
