PURPLE OVERDOSE were founded in Athens, Greece in 1987 by lead guitaristand vocalist Costas Constantinou. The band seeks to recreate the psychedelicatmosphere of the mid 1960's while blending hard rock, jazz, oriental andeven some folklore into their music. The lyrics in English written by Constantinou, can be described as poetic and somewhat sentimental, and drawinspiration from the flower power movement of the 1960's. They embraceideals of nature and freedom of spirit.The band has released 9 albums: 5 studio albums, 3 live albums and a compilation album. The first album Exit 4 was released in 1988 and received critical acclaim. The arrangements on this debut album are slightly simpler than on later albums, incorporating elements of hard rock with psychedelia.The second album, Indigo (1990) marks a move towards more complex compositions. The next album to follow is the same-titled Purple Overdose introducing the flute (Vasilis Kapanikis) and elements of jazz, and a further move towards more progressive compositions. In the same vein is their forth album, Solemn Visions (1996) which experiments in places with a curious mixture of blues and oriental influences. The fifth studio album,Reborn, released in 1999, is arguably the pinnacle of their career. This album features longer spacier compositions, and again a variety of styles, showing the band at full maturity.Even though the band was better than ever and the production was great, this was meant to be their last studio album.
