APHRODITE'S CHILD - 666 (1972-2014) RM / Mini LP PT-SHM Universal Japan / FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

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. by Steven McDonald
