5437. Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen
 |
| From: 666; Year: 1972; Genre: Progressive Rock/Psychedelic Rock |
The other day I found out that composer extraordinaire Vangelis passed away at the age of 79. He is most likely best-known for writing and performing the scores of Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner amongst many other films and documentaries. Other than the fore-mentioned movies my main exposure to Vangelis' work was the final album from one of his early bands/projects: Aphrodite's Child, 666. The Four Horsemen is one of the songs of notoriety from the record, which, of course, was a concept album based on The Apocalypse of John. It's a great dynamic track with some great musical ideas throughout and is one that is actually quite accessible to most casual listeners; the song and entire album makes for some awesome "headphone music."
