"Escape from the City of Angels" is the opening track for Ithaka's debut
work called "Flowers and the Color of Paint". The band was formed by
Darin Pappas, a Californian that decided to live in Portugal and my
friend Pedro Passos, one of the best Portuguese DJ's. This is an
excellent record that I recommend everybody. Pedro is an amazing "melody
maker" and Darin is a great story teller. The combination of both
talents is truly great.I don't know if the record was released outside
Portugal but you can check the label's site for more details at:

Recently they released a new record without Pedro Passos called
"Stellafly". IMHO not as good as the first one but with some nice tracks
in it.
