This unique album by Aphrodite's Child is a cult collector's favorite. Based on a bible story, the album's title, 666: APOCALYPSE OF ST. JOHN, and songs--"Four Horsemen;" "Seventh Seal"--lend a mythic dimension to the band's swirling jazz-rock fusion.
An amazingly bombastic concept album about the Apocalypse of St. John seen as a rock spectacle. Demis Roussos wails the lyrics in a frantically operatic falsetto, while the band pound fiercely through Vangelis' furiously complex music. It certainly has its moments, but the entire set eventually becomes too overwhelming to sit through. ~ Steven McDonald

Mojo (Publisher) (9/00, p.121) - "...This deeply disturbing concept album broke the melodic pop mould....[it's] about as far away from Zorba-style plonking as you can get..." 666: The Apocalypse Of John, 13/18 Music Aphrodite's Child 666: The Apocalypse Of John, 13/18 Songs | 1. | System |

666: The Apocalypse Of John, 13/18
$12.39 Given that this is his seventh recording under his own name, it's a bit surprising that Maldoror is cellist Erik Friedlander's first solo outing. Yet, given the drama, intensity, and dark sparkling beauty of the album, perhaps it took him this long to ramp up and go. As the title suggests, Maldoror is a series of ten improvisations based on poems in the collection Chants du Maldoror written by Isidore Ducasse as Comte de Lautremont (1846-1870), the preeminent influence on the Surrealists of the 20th century. In keeping with the spirit of surrealism, producer Michael Montes selected the ten pieces from the text, and then gave them to Friedlander, one at a time in the studio, with slight written direction. There were no second takes or overdubs. The session is released as recorded. Those familiar with Friedlander as a player will no doubt recognize his deep, earthly tone on his instrument. Well known as a player who brides and strides equally ...
