"The Labyrinth is a letter I wrote to myself," says Socrates Malamas in the interview that "closes" this edition. However, this letter was destined to have multiple recipients, as often happens in art, reaching people beyond the borders of a generation or a specific path, and serving for many of us, besides being a landmark album and the core of his work, as a significant piece of the soundtrack of an era.

Malamas turned our inner utopia and need into a song, with tenderness and intensity, keeping it equal until we confront "... a world that changes like our yesterday's clothes." The story of the songs from the Labyrinth, which was renamed "Socrates Malamas," as well as the image of the era that birthed them, are recounted by: S. Malmas, D. Rizou, M. Kana, K. Theodorou, Od. Ioannou, M. Papadopoulos, Ch. Megas, G. Athanasopoulos, Th. Korovinis, F. Delivorias, G. I. Allamanis, An. Petropoulos.
