Aphrodite's Child - It's Five O'Clock (1969) [Remastered]

Artist : Aphrodite's Child
Country : Greece
Release : It's Five O'Clock [Remastered]
Year : 1969
Genre : Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

If you enjoyed 666, the final album from Aphrodite's Child, you will be put in a big shock when you hear their previous effort, It's Five O'Clock, which was released in 1969. This was their second album (debut was End of the World/Rain and Tears from 1968, which Vangelis was reported with using Mellotron, despite his dislike for them). What you won't find is dark, gloomy prog rock here, but more like psychedelic pop, not unlike the debut album from Genesis, From Genesis to Revelation (released the same year).

Info:

In the late 1960's Greek Band Aphrodite's Child unleashed their debut to the world sans one of their original members; Guitarist Silver Kolouris was temporarily out of the band due to military service, but the band comes off here as if they have their whole compliment of personnel, Bassist/vocalist Demis Roussis adding guitar parts where necessary. Vangelis ("Chariots Of Fire" fame) is the band's multi - instrumentalist, focusing on keyboard related instruments, and the drum/percussion parts are provided by Lucas Sideras.

Aphrodite's Child - 666 (1971) [Japan Edition]

Artist : Aphrodite's Child
Country : Greece
Release : 666 [Japan Edition]
Year : 1971
Genre : Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Vangelis was in an incredible state of inspiration when creating the songs for 666 on words by Costas Ferris. Some of the weirdest experiments in rock are complemented by some potential haunting hit singles, notably "Break", and "Aegean Sea", the latter being without doubt one of the finest examples of symphonic rock to date. It never got the attention it deserves because Aphrodite's Child had already broken up by the time this album was finished, singer Demis Roussos had already started his easy-listening solo career and Vangelis was already working on his first film scores. Still, this double album is one of the highest artistic peaks ever achieved in rock and if you're open to such a thing, this is a definitie must-have in your collection.
