I Epomeni Kinisi (Greek: Η Επόμενη Κίνηση; English: The Next Move) is a Greek album by singer Anna Vissi released in Greece and Cyprus in 1986 by CBS Greece. This album is all written by Nikos Karvelas. In spite of her previous albums, it featured a clear pop sound, very distinctive of Vissi's next albums. The album reached platinum status and was one of the best-selling albums of 1987 in Greece.[1]
As the two number-one singles off the album Kati Simveni were written by Nikos Karvelas, the suggestion for the next album to be written and produced entirely by Karvelas was unanimously accepted by Vissi's label executives. The result was a pop album of 10 songs, a departure from laiko and Greek folk tunes Kati Simveni was influenced from. The result was commercially and critically acclaimed, with sales reaching Platinum status, selling more than 100,000 copies and becoming one of the most commercial Greek albums of 1987.
It is one of the first album titles CBS Greece released on CD in late 1987, including five tracks from "Kati Simveni" as a bonus. In 1992, all tracks from the original album along with Vissi's next album "Tora" were released as a joint package, as their initial CD releases had been out of print at the time.
In 1996, the album was released digitally in a stand-alone edition, only the LP's initial 10 tracks included, as a part of the OK! Budget Price series Sony Music Greece launched at the time.
In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982–2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material.
