Its 1984 hit ''Je Veux me Casser Libre'' was the unofficial anthem of the [[Pantocratorian Socialist Alliance]]'s 2004 election campaign. In early 2005, the band released a new album - its first original album since 1991 and its tenth overall - entitled ''Basilissa II''. ''Basilissa II'' consisted largely of songs written between 1995 and 2004 but never released because of Ministry of Cultural Development censorship, and was the first major Pantocratorian album including both [[French]] and [[Greek]] tracks (seven of the former, three of the later), although all of Basilissa's members speak [[French]] as their first language. A special edition [[PeacockPod]] featuring the autographs of the band's four members engraved on the back of the case was released in early 2006. |
