Nothing Changes Under The Sun
There was no doubt that Andy Dragazis’ debut album was going to be anything short of a masterpiece.
There was no doubt that Andy Dragazis’ debut album was going to be anything short of a masterpiece. His singles for Memphis Industries forged the wide screen vision of movie soundtracks to 60s pop, via a dash of psychedelia, with modern beatz. Tarring him with the chill out brush is a simplistic deconstruction of his talents. The album opens with ‘Arion’ and ‘Diamente’, both boasting that spacey yet organic sound Andy specializes in. However, it would be foolish to assume that Dragazis is only capable of one style, and his versatility is borne out by the difference between say, ‘Split And Soar’ a sixties soundtrack affair the Greek traditional influenced ‘Elios Therepia’. Although it touches greatness – let’s reserve that accolade for his second album – the two singles, in particular the retouched ‘Trainer Shuffle’ in all its shimmering, mournful majesty proves that nothing else under the sun sounds like Blue States.
