1668 Aphrodite's Child - The Beast

1668 Aphrodite's Child - The Beast

From: 666: (The Apocalypse of John, 13/18), Year: 1972
Genre: Progressive Rock/Psychedelic Rock

I thought I would keep this 'Beastie' mini theme going one more day with this song off of Aphrodite's Child's Prog Rock Concept album based on The Book or Revelation, aka 'The Apocalypse of John.'
In my opinion this is actually an excellent and quite an underrated album in so many ways. I love how many of the songs contrast with one another, yet still flow quite nicely. The main draw for me on the entire album, however, is, of course, the compositions and amazing musicianship from Vangelis and company. I love the bluesy feel and the funky groove they used on this track in particular.

Here is a fan video with the song on YouTube.
