A Devil Wind Post of an Extreme Concept Rock LP

THIS IS NOT A ALBUM FROM THE DEVIL!! Aphrodite's Child was a Greek rock band formed in 1967, by Vangelis Papathanassiou (keyboards); Demis Roussos (bass guitar and vocals), Loukas Sideras (drums and vocals), and Anargyros "Silver" Koulouris (guitar). This band and especialy this album made vangelis be know by his skills at the keyboard,and he had been invited by Jon Anderson from Yes to replace Rick Wakeman when he left the band. 666 (The Apocalypse of John, 13/18) is a double album by psychedelic/progressive and it is one of the early cult albums in rock history,and is still popular among fans today.It was published in 1972,but was suppose to be released previosly but they had a fight with the record company because of the song '' Infinity'' that was too much ''Unpropried''. It had a minor Album Oriented Radio hit in "The Four Horsemen," and a nearly pop hit with "Break." The album was ostensibly an adaptation of Biblical passages to discribe the society in many ways.It is very experimental in lyrics and composition, including a curious piece of performance art in which Irene Papas is struggling to chant a mantra while coming to climax.
