Our Take

Hailing from Greece, Aphrodite's Child is a band that has certainly left their mark on the psychedelic rock scene. 666, their ambitious double album, is a bonkers journey through time and space that will make you question reality and your own sanity.

From the epic opening track "The System" to the hauntingly beautiful "Babylon," this album is a wild ride from start to finish. The band's experimental soundscapes and eclectic mix of instruments create a truly unique listening experience that is both exhilarating and disorienting.

One moment you're floating through a cosmic symphony of organs and choirs, the next you're being bombarded with frenzied guitar riffs and wailing vocals. It's like taking a trip through the mind of a mad genius, and it's absolutely exhilarating.

Tracks like "The Four Horsemen" and "All the Seats Were Occupied" showcase the band's mastery of blending Eastern influences with Western rock, creating a sound that is both otherworldly and familiar. And let's not forget the unforgettable "The Wedding of the Lamb," a bizarre yet strangely catchy tune that will have you tapping your feet in confusion.

In the end, 666 is not an album for the faint of heart. It's a challenging listen that will push your boundaries and leave you scratching your head in bewilderment. But if you're willing to take the plunge, you'll be rewarded with a masterpiece of psychedelic rock that will stay with you long after the music has stopped.

About the artist

Aphrodite's Child

APHRODITE'S CHILD: A Psychedelic Odyssey In the wild world of 1960s psychedelic rock, few bands managed to capture the cosmic energy quite like APHRODITE'S CHILD. Formed in 1967, this Greek progressive rock band was a captivating blend of ethereal melodies, experimental instrumentation, and mystical lyrical themes. Led by the enigmatic frontman Demis Roussos, APHRODITE'S CHILD quickly made a name for themselves with their debut album, "End of the World." This ambitious concept album explored themes of existential dread and apocalyptic visions, all set to a backdrop of swirling organs and hypnotic guitar riffs. It was a bold statement of intent from a band unafraid to push the boundaries of conventional rock music. Their follow-up album, "666," is often hailed as their magnum opus. A sprawling double LP, "666" delved even deeper into the realms of prog rock, incorporating elements of jazz, blues, and even electronic music. The album's thematic exploration of the Book of Revelation earned it a reputation as one of the most ambitious and daring rock albums of the era. Despite their short-lived career, APHRODITE'S CHILD left an indelible mark on the psychedelic rock landscape. Their music continues to inspire and captivate listeners to this day, with their experimental sound and psychedelic aesthetic standing the test of time. So, if you're in the mood for a musical journey through the cosmos, look no further than APHRODITE'S CHILD. Their hypnotic melodies and otherworldly atmospheres are sure to transport you to a realm of psychedelic bliss.
