Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen Is Amazing

[@kish2]

This video is 80% about the few seconds around the drum entrance and how the drums and vocals are fabulous. And this is perfect.

[@Felipe-xt4id]

This CD is amazing, a classic produced by Vangelis with iron-fist, of course the sound quality is excellent. Not for everyone but a experience for sure. A great pick for analysis.

[@thomaszurcher9958]

Rock Pop Art fucking

[@gt4654]

About the drums. Actually, you can try and contact the original drummer Loukas Sideras. He's still around and he's a very down to earth man. It would be a very interesting interview on how these drums were recorded.

[@georgekoul]

He is leaving in Athens. Don't know where exactly

[@robertwilloughby8050]

And he was the guy who sang "Break" rather than Demis Roussos - a beautiful track in its own right.

[@ritageorge2348]

Lucas is now 79 and yes still lives near Glyfada in Athens, however please don’t make it sound easy to contact Lucas. He is a very private person.

[@ΝίκοςΝικολόπουλος-κ4ρ]

Down to earth guy, low profile, still playing, trying to record a studio album with greek singer "Sigma Fey", info dating about 4 years ago when I had a couple of beers with him in Athens, during an opening of a record store event. Real people. Same highschool with Vangelis (Lycee Leonin Greek-French highschool, in Patissia area, Athens)

[@Sonmz]

One of my favorite songs

[@PetraKann]

The keyboardist is Vangelis (Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire soundtracks and much more). Great vocals and bass playing by Demis Roussos. Silver Koulouris on guitar - soaring Hendrix Clapton like solis. Lucas Sideris superb on drums. Aphrodite’s Child is a Greek band that emerged during the height of the US backed military Junta dictatorship in Greece (1967 - 1974)

[@MadeinHell2]

It's been bothering me why that chorus is hitting me so hard. It's because it's four vocals at once?! That's amazing

[@shabbawank]

Vangelis is a genius

[@ΑπόλλωνΘηρευτής]

In the first and the second part of vocal, Demis use Byzantine scale

[@michaelduff7989]

I purchased this LP in ‘72 and still have it, love this song too. Any chance of a version of Aegean Sea with no narrative lyrics?

[@theo9952]

Not yet, but i hear rumors about a new remix of 666 coming up. Who knows what extra material might be in it.

[@OronOfMontreal]

I was a child in the early 1970s, growing up in bilingual Montreal. Demis Roussos' voice could be heard on both English and French radio stations, with Aphrodite's Child and on his own. Then, in the early 80s, Jon & Vangelis used to get a lot of airplay in my city, which always embraced Progressive and Avant-Garde music and arts. It's good to see younger folk like yourself, exploring this music. Good job.

[@stevebeye1585]

I picked up the vinyl of this and recorded it on my computer after cleaning it, and I became engrossed with it for a few weeks. The super odd track where the woman chants the mantra over percussion, and it sounds like she is having intercourse with the tempo implying it, I was blasting it while driving, windows down and I looked around like, people must think I’m nuts. That record is amazing, I was stoked to see you appreciating it. Cheers!

[@882952]

Ha, I've almost forgotten about that one because I always just skip over it... But I remember one night, myself and a friend of mine, (another Vangelis freak), spend like an hour bent over the speakers listening closely, over and over, trying to understand what the hell she was saying. "I am, I am, I am to come I was....?" And I don't think we ever figured it out.

[@tsurumichan]

awesome choice, great LP, remarkable to see analysis

[@TonyThomas10000]

I used to play that on the radio from vinyl back in the mid 70s...

[@OronOfMontreal]

In what city were you a DJ?

[@TonyThomas10000]

@@OronOfMontreal CLE and LA. I played it when I did college radio from 1973-78.

[@stuartliddle7228]

Love this tune/ album.

[@MoldySmith]

this is like one of the greatest songs of all timeeee fuck .. thank u 4 making this

[@thomaszurcher9958]

Thank Demis Red red red red red bläähhkHOT hoppla 😂😂😂🙏

[@Piratesteve81]

I so so love this track. Discovered it about a year ago and couldn't stop listening to it. Absolutely magnificent composition and production value.

[@shabbawank]

I think you nailed it, but sadly didn't expand on the ending, which is the best part. I think lots of drugs are to blame overall. Anyway, cool video and thanks for the analysis.

lol no...

[@shabbawank]

Stay intellectual bro

[@camillo8575]

In my headphones drums go from right to left, not left to right... WTF?

[@magicianNevar]

same thing happens with my speakers..

[@Daverotherham]

Camillo F yes it has been reversed. I just found this in my suggestions after listing to the track, one of my favourites, and the chimes are in the right ear on the original

[@friele80]

Also check out Socrates - Phos. Vangelis made it a true gem! 666 rocks!

[@blaskoxx4954]

We were jamming that in the mid-90s when in High School, yeah we were the 'different group'

[@renfineout5350]

Congrats

[@NessunDorma732]

Love these videos ! Great

[@linovinn7011]

The four horseman is an all time rock song, I like the guitar solo by Silver Colouris ........

[@thomaszurcher9958]

Drummer Silver Price 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭😂😂😂

[@linovinn7011]

@@thomaszurcher9958 Drummer was Lukas Sideras, Guitar by Silver Koulouris

[@WilliWerkel]

Yes! This is my favourite reference track altough I'm usually into trance.

[@hubadonga]

Excellent stuff. Demis Roussos the Greek God.

[@thomaszurcher9958]

Silver Colouris 😂😂😂⏳🤯

[@nadinos]

and Vangelis RIP

[@trex70]

Where is the Guitar solo plz ? This Video is nuts.

[@StratosLaspas]

Great review! What's the app you're using?

[@dinotrincas9620]

Great video! Thanks for sharing....I bought this lp First pressing in 1972, Vertigo label,then a second Copy made in Germany in 1985, at that time already amazed from the sound quality,finally end of 89 a japanese CD from the original masters,highly Dynamic,very close to the SACD....well,if you guys are wondered about 1971's recording solutions,the composer's name Is Vangelis,who' s also playing all keyboards....they we're so ahead!!!

[@literallyshaking8019]

I’m so glad this song/band is finally getting some shine. The whole 666 album is fantastic

[@cherriblackmore2002]

One of the better albums ever produced. And soon The Great Tribulation where this music will have much significance.

[@ritageorge2348]

An interesting video but at the end of the day l say….you can’t mess with perfection. The technology today is made easy but back in the early seventies these sounds were made from sheer talent. It might be an idea also to give all three people involved in the making of 666 a mention. Vangelis Papathanassiou, ( Keys) Demis Roussos Vocals) and Loukas Sideras. Drums).

[@thomaszurcher9958]

Li li re re red red Blähh Wheiit HOPPLA 🤯🤯⏳😂😂😂😂😂

[@simonsalamon8178]

Amazing!!!

[@jazztracks78]

I also hear a lot of compression on the drums.

[@PandaPotPies]

Wait, I listened to this song and watch you.... this is a weird crossover

[@haroldwright8919]

I love this song. I would be really interested to see an analysation of the song For Crying Out Loud By Meatloaf. The drums there are pretty damn amazing I think.

[@JUHUable]

[@theo9952]

It is an essential track on this highly original progressive rock concept album. But the rest, is not of lesser importance. The uniqueness of 666, in spite of the interest about it in the resent years, is yet to be broadly acknowledged, which it truly deserves.
