Confusion started in 1998 by Achilleas Diamantis after graduating from MUSICIANS INSTITUTE in California USA, being taught by Scott Henderson, Joe Diorio, Don Mock and Sid Jacobs. He was given a taste of Jazz and Fusion and he realized this was the start of his life. Once on the return to his home country Greece, Achilleas was given the amazing chance to work with one of his favourite Greek Jazz pianists Mr Marcos Alexiou who gave Achilleas the opportunity to include two of his own compositions in this album "Flying to the unknown"(Blue Mirror and Danger Zone). By Achilleas terms "I was thrown into deep waters". That was the beginning of the journey he was about to embark on and from then on he looked for musicians that would have the passion to do something and make a difference. The difference in the musical mind of Achilleas was to incorporate different elements (such as Jazz, Rock, Blues, Funk, Acid and Latin) yet building it all into one main theme. He found session musicians that liked his music and with several special guest appearances (Makis Boukalis, Nikos Vardis on bass, Seraphim Bellos on drums, Alekos Orfanos, Stratos Diamantis on Keyboards and Takis Paterelis on sax), he completed his first album in 1999 and named it "Confusion by Confusion". "Surprising mixture of the obvious Hellenic influences and some highly innovative soloing" John Mclaughlin Archives. "The debut CD that launched the Greek fusion phenomenon, these guys are tight" Tom Voli - Gnarly Geezer Records. "Well performed, clearly and well produced jazz-rock. The beautiful thing about the nine compositions is that Diamantis hasn't pint himself down on one style" Reni Yedema - Io pages Progressive rock magazine. After the album was released Achilleas started to search for the musicians that would also have the same passion, determination, and the ability to produce their own unique sound. After He found Takis Intas and Panagiotis Haramis they started to work for a new album! Their new album "Genesis" released in 2001,as the title suggests is the birth of the band. Self-producing 10 songs that switch easily from hard Fusion-Rock to fast swing and then moving to slow melodic ballads.

Danger also features guest appearances from world renowned drummer Dave Weckl and amazing bass player Tom Kennedy on three tracks, making for a more diverse offering. Technical Info is carving out a nice niche for itself in the European fusion market - worth a careful listen.
