WHAT A RECORD! The thunder on this record is absolutely unreal 'The Four Horsemen' smashes from the speaker like the apocalypse is really approaching and the drums sound like the heaven's opening with a terrifying onslaught. Then we get to tracks like 'Aegian Sea', which is proto 90s new age ambience with, aye, some killer killer drum breaks. Then there's 'Do It' which is a sub minute hyper workout where the guitars, keys and aye, the drums are going faster than the speed of light. I can't talk about every track but this is an ALL-TIMER! 

666 is one of the most original progressive rock albums of all time. Composed by the late maestro Vangelis, with lyrics written by Costas Ferris, it is a conceptual double album that was hailed upon its release as “a work of stunning complexity and originality” and is the crowning moment in the career of Aphrodite’s Child.

Featuring material such as ‘The Four Horsemen’, ‘Aegian Sea’, ‘Babylon’, ‘Do It’, ‘The Beast’ and ‘All the Seats Were Occupied’, the album’s renown has grown steadily over the decades, influencing successive generations of musicians. Unique and relevant over 50 years after its original release, it is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and important records ever released on the legendary Vertigo imprint, the jewel in the crown from the so-called ‘swirl’ period that refers to the famous label design used between 1969 and 1973.
