666

In 1970 Vangelis started working on his 3rd album under the name of Aphrodite's Child and for this he visioned a grand concept album. To help Vangelis create this epic album he borrow the talents of Demis Roussos, drummer Lukas Sideras and guitarist Argyris "Silver" Koulouris. Due to the scale of this album the entire writing and recording took just over a year to complete and when it was finally released the band has already split up!. Musically this epic and continuous suite is a brilliant mix of Psychedelic and Progressive rock. This band and this recording are both definitely way under appreciated! Instrumentally "666" blends Vangelis' vast array of vintage keyboards and sound effects with Roussos' Vocals and bass, Sideras drumming and Koulouris amazing guitar playing. Musically this album paints the story of the New Testament and utilizes a vast array of sonic, musical and cultural inspirations to convery this epic story. If you do not have this recording then go out and pick it up....you will be amazed !
