Description
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this1968 debut album from the Greek Psych/Prog Rock band including two bonus tracks. Formed in 1967 by keyboard player Vangelis, the band also featured Demis Roussos on bass and vocals and Lucas Sideras on drums. End of the World features the international hit 'Rain And Tears', partially inspired by Procol Harum's 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. However, the album revealed a more experimental side to the band's nature with such Psychedelic gems as 'The Grass Is No Green', 'You Always Stand in My Way' and 'Day of the Fool'. This reissue has been remastered from the original tapes and includes both sides of Aphrodite's Child's first single as bonus tracks. Esoteric. 2010.

In the late 1960's Greek Band Aphrodite's Child unleashed their debut to the world sans one of their original members; Guitarist Silver Kolouris was temporarily out of the band due to military service, but the band comes off here as if they have their whole compliment of personnel, Bassist/vocalist Demis Roussis adding guitar parts where necessary. Vangelis ("Chariots Of Fire" fame) is the band's multi - instrumentalist, focusing on keyboard related instruments, and the drum/percussion parts are provided by Lucas Sideras.This condensed combo provided us with lots of atmospheric listening enjoyment, using many different styles, but it all has a certain quality to it which is hard to pin down. They were active toward the end of popular music's psychedelic era, and everything here takes the listener to that period, without being trite. They were masterful musicians who delivered the goods without fail.The opening number, title track "End Of The World," sets the mood; nice, gentle melody, stream-of-consciousness lyrics, and a vocal delivery only Roussis could deliver. There are light, folk-like tunes, some pop/jazz fusion numbers and some genuinely dark, eerie numbers. "The Grass Is No Green" is a pretty good example of this. A song about a drought doesn't seem like a candidate for a spooky, for lack of a better word, performance, but it is genuinely creey sounding. Compressed sounding and nightmarish, it is a perfect example of just how good this band is at creating surreal atmospheres. Sometimes the histrionics go over the top, as in "Day Of The Fool." This is a horror film for your ears, if anything is.The band runs the gamut on this disc, and the sound quality doesn't sound dated at all, even if the material is sort of passe by some tastes. It is a must for fans of early progressive rock. Good zoning out material.
