2nd album by the brilliant Greek Prog band Aphrodite`s Child, which was the first and to this day most famous band from that country to break the cultural boundaries and reach international audiences. Originally a quartet, the three group's members: keyboardist and primary composer Evanghlos O. Papathanassiou (later to become the renowned Vangelis), bassist and lead vocalist Demis Roussos and drummer Loukas Sideras, left their native country following the military coup d'état, which left Greece paralyzed artistically and culturally. The group wanted to reach the UK, but for various reasons got stuck in France first, where their brilliant debut album was recorded. They finally reached UK a year later to record this, their follow up. A classic of the Psychedelic era and an early Prog attempt, this album remains to this day as a formidable achievement. Vangelis' superb feel for melody and lyricism and Roussos' extraordinary vocal abilities create a wonderful atmosphere, unparalleled by most other groups at the time. The group enjoyed a European mega-hit with the album's title song, but overall their music was not hit oriented and overtly much more ambitious that most of the hit songs of the era. It's also interesting to emphasize the role of Greek folkloristic motifs present in their music, with the grand tradition of Rebetiko at the helm. Definitely worth discovering and a great trip down the memory lane sparkling with gems like this one!
