Introduction
Now what's this ? The year is 1977, the location
is London, United Kingdom. Vangelis' brother Niko brings another Italian group
to Nemo Studios and have them record this curious little single
"Notturno" / "Dimenticare". The group Panda is not very well known outside of Italy,
probably not even inside Italy. Both songs are slow ballads, and as for
"Notturno" the composition is credited to a "Ciaikowski", or better known to
most people as Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, as it is based on a theme from
"The Nutcracker"...
