4 out of 5 stars ON FIRE!.......2002-03-13

FOTIA WAS A 1988-1989 RELEASE FOR THE GREEK GODESS.THIS WAS AND IS ONE OFHER BEST ALBUMS. 'BOITHIA'(HELP) IS ONE OF HER BEST BALLADS,'FOTIA'(FIRE) AND 'PSEFTIKA'(FAKE) ARE CONSIDERED CLASSICS IN BOTH GREECE AND CYPRUS. THE ORIENTAL STYLE IS EMPHASISED HERE SO IF U LIKE ANNA VISSI OF 'KRAVGI' TREAT THIS WITH CAUTION BUT IF UR A FAN RUSH TO THE SHOP!!VERY GOOD VOCALS AND IF U LIKE 'KAPNIZO' NEW REMIX ON 'KRAVGI'(I DONT)U WILL LOVE THE ORIGINAL!MUST HAVE ALBUM FOR ANNA VISSI FAN!

4 out of 5 stars from Anna with love.......2000-10-17

I cannot be "objective" about this record. Was in Rhetymnon in the late 80ýs and had the pleasure of seeing mrs. Vissi performing all these songs (she shared the bill with her husband). A real pleasure to have this electrifying music at home. Especially "Photia" and "Kapnisso" are bound to make you dance on the living room floor. If you are a very somber person with few delights - listen to this and try to stay sad! The Greeks have a way of making you smile thru your tears. So if youýre in depression, your man has left you, go buy this record and share the wonder of feeling pain with a song on your lips!

1 out of 5 stars A big disappointment.......2000-05-30

Never having heard of Anna Vissi, I bought "Andidhoto" basically on the strength of the cool Medusa cover art. Surprise: the album was great! So I went looking for more of her music, and chose Fotia on the basis of two rave reviews on Amazon.com. Big mistake! Most of this CD is bouncy dance pop that I wouldn't tolerate for more than 10 seconds if it came on my car radio. I don't know what to compare it to: Paula Abdul maybe?

A couple of tracks are a little more interesting, with a Latin or traditional Greek flavor, but this CD will be gathering dust on my shelf, unless I can unload it at a garage sale. Vissi has an beautiful voice and (nowadays, as "Andidhoto" shows) extraordinarily emotive phrasing, but the 10+ year old "Fotia" shows how far she's come.

5 out of 5 stars Anna at her "rocking" best!.......1999-04-07

Having bought almost all of Vissi's CDs, this one is her most intense, emotional, and moving album. From the quiet, sensitive "Alithia," to the rocking "Fotio," this album will beg you to play it over and over again! Just saw her live in Chicago (front row, center) and she was phenomenal, in looks AND in voice. BRAVO!

5 out of 5 stars A pop masterpiece.......1999-01-25

From the first notes of the middle eastern meets rock opening track, this album compels the listener from beginning to end. Anna excels herself here and every one of the ten tracks is a classic. Anna goes through a range of styles - Ethnic, Rock, Ballads, Flamenco and even a Greek rap ! Although it has been ten years since the original release of this album, the music is still as exciting as ever. Hardly surprising that this album spent two months at number one in Greece. This important musical work created a whole wave of imitators, though none could ever match Anna's (and her husband Niko who writes for her) originality and superb vocal ability. This album, along with Litsa Diamandi's "Den Se Pistevo" (Which unfortunately is not available) were the best Greek releases of 1989. I recommend "Fotia" by Anna Vissi to anyone that wants to here Greek pop at it's best.
