blind den wind - Giorgios Dalambiras & Ilias Mitsakis (1984)

Dieses Lied gehört mir nicht. Ich finde es jedoch wichtig, es auf diese Plattform hochzuladen, um es weiter zu unterstützen und die heutigen Generationen zu ermutigen, Musik der 80er zu hören. Ehrlich gesagt ist es einer meiner Favoriten und da ich es nirgendwo auf YouTube finden konnte, habe ich mich entschieden, es hochzuladen.

Breath-taking as usual. He has always been this way probably... We've had a lot of conversations about music and several other issues. Some things are meant to be exposed, other better left unsaid... He is a low-profile person for sure, a silent engine. Silent but not calm I I was impressed, since the first time l'd met him by how he could compose and sing, using his Yamaha synth, with the ease common people can use their mouth to speak. He's their only representative and probably the only one who can describe what and who was "Statues in Motion". Due to the absence of an insert and a general lack of information regarding the first edition, many people are unaware of who is responsible for this record. Vasilis Paleokostas (Billy Knight), George Dalambiras (Alvin Dean), Ilias Mitsakis (Elli Kane). George, of greek-australian origin, is no longer among us, according to Vasilis. He dedicates this re-issue to him, "good chap" he says, although "down on his luck"..
As for llias, Vasilis hasn't met him since then and we couldn't track him down no matter what. Vasilis comes (on his mother's side) from a family of classical music background. Since his student years though, he enters the world of "rock music" and creates, or becomes a part of, student bands. Shortly after 1974 he creates the band "GET" and afterwards he joins the band "MAKERS". In 1976 we find Vasills playing by the side of "KENTAVROS", the resident band of the club "Tiffany's" at Plaka area, in downtown Athens. They are mostly playing cover versions and at the same time they are composing and playing their own songs. In 1979 he becomes a member of "PARTHENOGENESIS", the first punk band in Greece, using the nickname "Billy Lod".

They had a reissue record of Geheimnis. This song was not officially released since it was not finished and lasted only a few days publicly. It belonged to the Geheimnis album by S.I.M. It was part of this album along with Future Myth, In Silence, Statues, among others.

“Statues In Motion” is Geheimnis' Rec. 9th release and quite happy to reissue this synth/dark pop masterpiece + a bonus track never been issued before !!
Vasilis Paleokostas (Billy Knight), George Dalambiras (Alvin Dean), Ilias Mitsakis (Elli Kane).
Billy Knight creates “STATUES IN MOTION” during the summer of 1981. He is already acquainted with George (Alvin Dean), because George was the lead singer of another historical and very short lived band, called “Homicide” (along with Costas Pothoulakis – ex “Parthenogenesis” member, later member of “The Reporters” and “Villa 21”). “Homicide” was the support act of some of the Parthenogenesis’ live gigs, shortly before the band’s final concert in Christmas 1980. With Elli Kane and Tracey West (backing vocals) he met at a club called “Snowball” around that time. Tracey was a close friend to Billy’s girlfriend and a regular at this club. Elli wrote most of their lyrics and became the manager of the band. Their first live gig takes place at Lycabettus theatre, at a music festival (the only photo of the band, taken during that live performance, is at the back cover of the record’s sleeve) where they were awarded first place. They play alongside bands such as “Mousikes Taksiarhies”, “Apocalypsis”, “Vavoura Band” and others, performing 3 songs, “Man In Black”, “Statues” and “Pinky Complex”. “Pinky Complex” was and still is one of Billy’s favorite songs and that’s why he wanted to re–record it and include it in this 30th edition. It was properly recorded back in 1982, with Alvin Dean on vocals, but it was “Virginia Clemm” that had been included in the original edition instead of it. The original version is probably lost. By the summer of 1982 the album was ready. Vasos Tsimidopoulos (producer) had listened to them, while they were rehearsing at “ERA” studios, he liked them and suggested them to follow him to Minos–EMI. After several financial arguments, the record was finally released in Christmas 1983 and found its way to the record stores in the early days of 1984, although recording had already finished by mid–1982… Billy was so disappointed by this situation that, long before the album’s release date, he had the band break up (in particular in November 1983) and left Greece to follow his destiny abroad.

There is no shred of evidence that Alvin Dean/Statues in Motion made this song. Also Alvin Dean was not German, so he wouldn’t have called the song Blind Den Wind anyway.

[porcelainboy]

This is the best quality I've ever heard this song in! Can anyone confirm this is the original, and that the mystery is indeed solved?

[Dino_Buk]

No, this fake unfortunately.
They were from West Germany, and not from Greece.

[carolynjeane]

Can you change the name of this?? It's already been confirmed this isn't Alvin Dean but FEX's "Subways of Your Mind".

[друг-зъ]

This song is not solved unless someone finds an album / cd with this song on it or Alvin Dean comes out and claims it himself

[ELEcomments]

So is this the official title and artist of the song????

[Deiv.]

my brain died searching, still not sure about anything

[joaquinoderda]

La canción se llama The Sun Will Never Shine

[happy_Vanilla_racoon]

The name of the artist is not even googled... Somehow suspicious. Is the author trying to create a legend about an underground Greek post-punk singer, whom no one knows, and it is not a fact that he exists?

[amandastill]

Thats a cute baby! Where is the image from?

[camuss_]

alguna otra canción de esta banda o solista

[reuppbee]

does this have any link with the MOST MYSTERIOUS SONG ON THE INTERNET or is this a dumb repost with bs names and stuff. also, it was posted 2 days ago witch is BEFORE the french invasion of the search.

[Roli_Moon]

¿А для чего после 2:48 её нужно было продлевать?

[LiamC]

So is the mystery finally solved or not?

[marciamurphy]

Could it be the Talking Heads..their song Listening Winds is so similar style, tempo and vocals. Perhaps they reinvisioned lyrics. Compare and reply loved to know what you think

[Sanettee]

Parece que nadie quiere aceptar que la cancion ya de encontró...

[IreneAgathe]

I don't know why but this song is creepy

[thepvzguy]

Blind den wind is just a german version of the name
