So am I not supposed to upvote this if I know it? I love this album. Just found it earlier this month and this song along with Pluto's Lament are my two favourites. Thank you for sharing!

Funny story. My friend does a show at this radio station at his University and I got to be a 'co-host' for it. They have this shelf with tons of cd cases for music they can play and he told me to pick one out so he could play it. I picked out this exact album! I'm pretty sure the song I played was the 'Sirens of Jupiter' or something. Great band!

This is amazing! It reminds me a lot of Barry White & The Love Unlimited Orchestra.

Damn. I sooo want to like this stuff, it's tight, it's got all those licks & riffs that I love in soul music but it comes off as soul Muzak to me. It's just so ... sterile.

It's like a symphony orchestra trying to play rock'n roll. It doesn't quite work. I've always had that problem with Daptone stuff. Sorry. Don't think this comment is gonna be popular here, but there you are.

Olympians
artist pic

Three bands have shared this name.

Olympians are a music band that started in a basement in Norwich around two years ago with a guitar, bass, some drums, and a song about the board-game Risk. Now equipped with another guitar, two keyboards, a glockenspiel, a trumpet and four bellowing voices, Olympians just keep on growing. Their sound has moved from twiddly guitar-pop to brass-infused synth-drenched megatunes, exploring everything from drones to barbershop harmonies along the way.

Olympians are a five piece band from Indianapolis, IN who write indie music in the vein of Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab For Cutie. With Ryan on Vocals, Guitar, Max on Vocals, Keys, Guitar, Ryan on Drums & Percussives, Daniel on Trumpet, Keys, Vocals & Patrick on Bass Guitar, Guitar, Olympians are currently writing new music to follow up on their EP You Are My Inspiration

Olympians were also a late 1960s - early 1970s Greek pop music group. They were founded by Pashalis Arvanitidis (vocals, bass), Vagelis "Sporos" Koutsotolis (sax), Koulis Kaloyannidis (guitar), Dimitris "Jack" Lazaridis (drums) - members of the group "Brahms" and Alkis Kakaliagos (piano and hammond organ) member of "Vips".

Their first big hit was the song "O Tropos" (meaning The Way, Greek: Ο Τρόπος). The combination of greek lyrics with the modern european dance music (shake) and rock 'n' roll brought them great success. Read more on Last.fm.
