There you go. Heard this a few times, very effective. Maybe it'll sell a few copies of the album as well!

Cool Thumbs Up

One of my favourite albums. The second part especially (3 and 4 vinyl wise) has some of the best prog ever done and was known to be influential on Genesis and Pink Floyd . Such a pity that the band decided to split up before the album was released.

Thanks Alan!

I was quite taken aback when I heard this in an advert. It's very obscure outside prog circles, but when I have it playing in the background when people are over, someone always asks about it.

One guest (an ageing goth) said it got played a lot at a club in London he frequents. He always loved but never knew what it was. He was stunned when I said it was Vangelis and Demis Rousoss.

Just stumbled upon this one. It's not Aphrodite's Child, but you will recognize this prog band...


...and here a short making-of.
