20061127 - Yannis Markopoulos - Who Pays the Ferryman?






This is a terrific award winning soundtrack to a 1977 BBC television series set in Crete. I can just remember this series and it was a very good almost supernatural thriller if I remember rightly. This is the LP version ripped by my good self.

Here's some info from the composer's web site, which I recommend you visit:
