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

Deleted in the U.S., the landmark 1971 album by the Greekact led by Vangelis. A concept album about the Bible's BookOf Revelations, it contains all 24 tracks from the originalrelease on Vertigo, including the near hit 'Break'. APolygram International release. Double jewelcase. The fulltitle is '666 (The Apocalypse Of John.13/18)'.

Aphrodite's Child: Vangelis Papathanassiou, Demis Roussos, Lucas Sideras, Silver Koulouris.

Additional personnel: Harris Halkitis, Michel Ripoche, John Forst, Yannis Tsarouchis, Irene Papas.

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..."

4 stars The triple 6 album
This has got to be one of the greatest concept albums ever made. It has elements of rock, psychodelic music and greek/mediteranean instruments. It uses verses and themes from the book of the apocolypse but it is making any type of religous statement (that I can tell). It is an excellent trippy CD. The music is great. Vangelis founded this group and went on to write the Chariots of fire theme if that tells you anything:). BUY IT NOW!.

5 stars The best record you've never heard
It's not devil music. Aphrodites Child is a Greek artistic pop/rock group from the late 60's. 666 was a concept album about the book of revelations and the music is extraordinary. It's a psychadelic, theaterical, artistic rock album with all sorts of different sounds and instruments. If you like conceptual rock like Pink Floyd get this CD. You are missing out if you don't. BTW you may be familair with A.C founding member Vangelis' later work "Chariots of Fire". Nothing like that on this album but you can tell the guy is a top notch musician/composer. Congrats to any 1st time listeners.

4 stars what a concept
This album was so typical of the 60's/70's concept albums. Intelligent, trippy, and really heavy stuff.

3 stars Way out there
This is some way out there stuff. The guys that made this album had to be on some crazy drugs. It has some good tunes on it though. It takes some time to get in to it, but it will eventually.

666: The Apocalypse Of John, 13/18
CD $12.39  Audio Samples
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 ...
