I'm a huge fan of Aphrodite's Child, specifically 666 and I've also been trying to find out if there have been any unreleased tracks from the 666 period. Vangelis has an album called The Dragon that was unofficially released in 1978 but it was recorded in 1971. I don't think it was ever officially released. This album definitely has 666 vibes to it although it is an instrumental album. It is made up of 3 long tracks and is more in line with the track All The Seats Were Occupied from 666. The track Stuffed Tomatoe is the closest the album comes to sounding like Aphrodite's Child. Anargyros Koulouris from AC plays electric and acoustic guitar on this album as well. Vangelis' album from 1973 called Earth is also worth checking out.
Phil,i really enjoy those first 2 Aphrodites Child albums,i have the esoteric cd reissues with extra tracks,definitely a pop vibe in some of the songs,ive also got a double cd compilation released BR music which is well worth having as it features all the non album sides.As for 666,i find it quite spooky in parts,but the vibe it permeates is wonderful,and real trippy in parts too,as for The Dragon by Vangelis,i dont have,but i do have the music he did for an early 70s movie,Sex Power,which in truth i was not that enamoured with,but ive heard that The Dragon is a mixed listen.As for Earth from 73,i agree,its a good album,still too hear the third member of Aphrodites Child Lucas Sideras solo album,anyone have any feedback on that album??As for the debut Demis Roussos solo album On the greek side of my mind,RPM released the cd a few years ago and is nothing like his following stuff ive read,this cd was a complete surpsise sound wise as it still has hints of the Aphrodites Child sound to it!!The cd i have phil has 12 tracks on it,this album was also rereleased under the title fire and ice.
