THE ART OF DÉMIS ROUSSOS AND APHRODITE'S CHILD

Interesting compilation. And the fact that "The Art Of Démis Roussos And Aphrodite's Chid" is an Italian compilation is normal, due to Italian success of both Aphrodite's Child and Démis Roussos.

I do not have problem to judge this compilation: Great music, for me. But Prog... Hmmm... Prog is present in this compilation? Yes and not in poor quantity. Because yes, this type of Prog is not the Prog that the story have created but a great idea to plays a music that is innovative for 1968: Procol Harum and Mediterranean Folk in one song. Clearly it is difficult to recognize this mix, due to the fact that the songs are too POP Rock. But this type of mix is present in Aphrodite's Child songs. As in Démis Roussos songs this mix is present but the base of the music is too POP for a correct evalutation. In my point of view no too difference are present between Aphrodite's Child songs and Démis Roussos songs: only Aphrodite's Child songs present more keyboards and Rock as the songs of Démis Roussos section present orchestra (that replace the keyboards) and POP base.

It is true that this compilation is a strange compilation. Because contain music for Progsters but, also if present, Prog is not dominant. But with such beautiful songs ...
