Aphrodite's Child - 666

Now it might be a bit of an understatement to call an album which does a musical interpretation of the Book of Revelations epic. No, it's a bit more than that.

This is an album called 666 made by new-age icon, Vangelis.

This is an album recorded under the influence of Sahlep, a drink made of an orchid of the same name. 666 got banned in quite a few places because of bad translation (under the influence of "Satan")

I mean, my god, look at these guys.

They look like they should be playing rummy with my grandparents on a Carnival cruise.
But they made this
