CD Reviews

An excellent introduction

(4 out of 5 stars)

""Babylon The Great" is an excellent introduction to not only Aphrodite's Child, but to the early work of Vangelis before he entered the "new age" genre (apparently he could actually rock out at one time). This collection draws from their three LP's "End Of The World" (1968), "It's Five O'Clock" (1969) and "666" (1972) as well as some single sides and the 16 minute, previously unreleased track "Chakachak" from 1969. "Babylon" may actually be a misrepresentation of Aphrodite's Child, concentrating on purely their progressive leanings and leaving out many of their pop oriented (and often gratingly bad) tunes. This collection could possibly use more tracks from the "666" album, although this is a good start. If you enjoy this bands progressive side, I would recommend this album and possibly "666" and avoid the others."
