My real name is Apostolis and I hail from Greece,turned 30 years old this year (2009)...Psarros is just my surname but I use it as an identity cause it's very close to a translation of the Greek word for my prog hero:FISH!My history with music goes like this...

until 1994:...only traditional Greek music and pop tunes,as this was my family likings!

1994-1997:...trying to find my own identity,I came in touch with heavy metal and loved it from first sight!

1997-2000:...first touch with prog music: DREAM THEATER,SHADOW GALLERY,SAVATAGE,FATES WARNING...I loved their complicated music...first tries to find the origins of this style...

2000:...listened first time to MARILLION...wow!...that was it...I purchased all their albums!...Going back in time I listened for the first time to YES,GENESIS,RUSH and other classic prog bands...I had finally found my music heaven!

2000-today: my collection grows day by day...friends of me lent me vinyls of never re-issued works but I have personally a huge amount of CD's...Internet is a great solution for such buy's!...and I don't intend to stop!

Greetings to you all!
