I had to do a double take and check if it was Yanni. Nope, but yes to Greek. And I can't help thinking it's the same bass player who was on Yanni's live at the Acropolis. (I don't have time to look it up now) I re-listened to that CD recently with my son. It holds up pretty well.
Weirdly reminds me of 

Madness - Never Knew Your Name (youtube.com)

Though both are great songs
I liked the sentiment of the Ukranian piece just now.
excelent

Yeah! I like the very Greek touch on the strings, and there's a lot of tasty Middle Eastern flair in there, too...

Nice segue from Beatles' "Things we said today". It was a perfect BPM match. Yay DJ!



Did again today about a year later. I can confirm it was really smooth.

The song is too bland for my taste. It could work better as a film/TV score where you only hear small segments at a time, but as a whole I found it dreary. All the performances are good, especially the guitar! But each individual part is drowned in the tacky "massage studio atmosphere" production soup. The melody doesn't make me feel anything, and the song just keeps going without any noticable development. Other commenters have pointed out it borrows from some Mediterranean music. Maybe that did bring something novel, but it's incredibly diluted.

Edit: I wonder if the time of day matters? I.e. the Americans have RP playing on low as a lullaby, while for me it's the middle of the day and I require some stimulation.




Well, at least you listened to it in it's entirety. Maybe it will grow on you. ...coffee might help. IDK.   I think it is a GREAT TUNE!!  Thanx RP

GREAT!  RP introduced me to him. Now, I have FIVE of his tunes on "My Favorites" list.  That is Why we come here. Thanx RP!   
Very Mediterranean! Evviva RP! Evviva l'ecletticismo!
