Following his "No Camera" release, Giannis Papaioannou is back with his new project. The ideal soundtrack of a love story that seems to reappear with the same intensity as that of the first time. "You and Me" begins exactly where Giannis Papaioannou's previous project has left us.

And if "No Camera" (KLIK Records, 2005) was described by national and international Press as "that kind of deep electronica no one expected to be born in Greece", then "You and Me" can only be referred to as the perfect sequel of a vision without frontiers.

ION's electronica is the sort of music one may hear (and see!) when closing their eyes while being amidst the noisy downtown centre of a metropolis; the sound of a never-ending summer; a grand sound-and-vision spectacle having no need of cinemascope views or clearly distinguishable musical instruments in order to be released as a whole different movie at the private theatre of those who can still dream on. What ION's each new project expects from you is the inalienable human right of not having to explain.

Moreover, "You and Me" lifts the "Greek electronica" case up to levels that can only be described as soon as one experiences the 14 tracks determining its own centre and circumference. With this recording in a seaside analogue studio, aided digitally by a Mac computer and the natural sounds of instruments and vocals, Giannis Papaioannou has constructed a timeless love story in reverse, setting off from the 18th century romanticism to reach the very essence of contemporary isolation. And without any trace of attitude, yet exceeding in soul testimony, he succeeds in turning into sound that sentiment of that first time: when you look somebody in the eyes and you realise - even if it's only for a second - that you are not alone.
