Flowers And The Color Of Paint is the 1995 debut album by Californian alternative hip hop artist, Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas). Lyrics and lead vocals by: Ithaka Ithaka's Flowers And The Color Of Paint, recorded at Namoche Studios in Lisbon, Portugal in 1995, was nominated for three Blitz Awards (the Portuguese equivalent of the Grammy) in the categories of: Best Album, Best New Project and Best Male Vocalist.
And in an end-of-decade retrospective of national music, the prestigious newspaper Publico considered Flowers And The Color Of Paint to be one of the ten most influential 'Portuguese' albums of the 1990's The original pressing of Flowers And The Color Of Paint released by Movieplay Records was only 1500 copies. Ironically, despite the song, Escape From The City Of Angeles' obvious cult status with literally millions of illegal downloads around the globe, the label has never made a second issue of the album.
In 1997, acclaimed Hollywood director Antoine Fuqua used the song in the soundtrack for his feature film The Replacment Killers [released by Columbia Pictures] starring; Mira Sorvino (academy award winner) Chow Yun-fat (academy award nominee) and several other known actors such as Clifton Collins Jr. and Michael Rooker.
