The band Oneira & Aftapates (Dreams & Illusions) was formed in January 1986 (and disbanded towards the end of 1988), a time when in Greece, among other underground musical genres, New Wave music was flourishing. With a sound influenced mainly by bands such as Cure, Joy Division, Chameleons etc., the band added several post rock and psychedelic elements, mainly by using a flanger on one guitar, giving the band a more personal and special sound. In the lyrics one could discern a subtle pessimism as well as several influences from the poetry of Jim Morrison. The 4 kids who made up the band were: Ilias Hortarias (guitar-voice-music-lyrics), Giorgos Kouros (bass), Nikos Tsoumanis (drums) and Ilias Kouros (guitar). They gave many concerts together with Anti, Slow Motion, No Man's Land and Panx Romana among others in various places, but unfortunately apart from a demo nothing else was saved. In recent years, Ilias Hortarias has reunited with Nikos Tsoumanis and together with Tina Koulouri on synth and piano and Zozi Tsounakou on vocals they recorded 4 of the songs of that period as well as some new ones for the release of this album! The songs of the album, with the addition of synth and female vocals, create a more imposing atmosphere in the final result. A long-time prospect materialized, thanks to the strong personal friendship among the original members of the band, with the result being transformed to a vinyl and CD release via Nowhere Street Music!
