“Two match” forms the second formal album release of Miltos Marathon, which was released as an independent production at the end of 2017 at 31^st December.

The nine songs included in this album are basically some of the first lyrics and music compositions created by Miltiadis Chalkidis throughout his adolescence…

These compositions, created in the mid 90’s, were released that time as a demo entitled“Too much trouble for nothing” and for many were a fine specimen of the musical tone of Miltos Marathon back then.

Later were characterized by friends and fans as favourite and classic songs of the band.

The title “Two match” has a metaphorical meaning and at the same time creates a kind of pun as it refers firstly to the title of the demo, secondly to this album and thirdly to the similar musical components that this album shares with the first album of Miltos Marathon “Grek fill”.

“These compositions, compared to their initial demo version, was modified in the lyrics and music at different points ,without changing their basic structure in particular…

I didn’t want just to make a re-recording, I wanted to revive the enthusiasm as well as the romance that prevailed in that period of my life and present some of my first compositions,in the light of the current reality, to my group’s friends…Miltiadis has stated “.

The production and mastering in “Two match” were completely made in Miltiadis Chalkidis personal studio by himself, who wishing to offer a more personal tone in this album, not only play the guitars and do the vocals, but also took on the playing of bass, keyboards and percussion.

For the remaining needs of the recording, a group of musician friends was gathered and the drums were recorded by Constantinos Mitin while the women’s vocals were performed by Ottilia Barbulesku Samulada and Stavroula Asterinou.

In the song, “Oil and fire” Nicolas Karatasos appeared as a guest playing “Daire”.

“Two match” is not just the second formal album release of Miltos Marathon. This album constitutes a kind of linking bridge between the past and the present music universe of the band..

It would not be an exaggeration to characterise this album as a future classic…

A future classic Greek rock album, which will undoubtedly attract those who will listen to it…
