666 (album)

666 is a double album of the Greek group Aphrodite' S Child left in 1971. The music is composed there by Vangelis and the words are of Costas Ferris. In fact, this album is the musical adaptation of the Apocalypse of Midsummer's Day, from where the title.

The pieces contained on this work vary much the one of the others, as much as for their duration that with their style. Certain parts curl the Psychédélisme whereas others sound Hard rock.

The album was censured at its exit in certain countries because of its biblical influences. Inside the small pocket, one can read: " This work was recorded under the influence off " Sahlep "" (This album was recorded under the influence of the " Sahlep"), sentence which, it also, sowed the controversy.

The frictions between the members of the group, already present before the creation of the album, worsened as the recording advanced. The group dislocates shortly after the exit of 666, in 1972.
