APHRODITE'S CHILD - 666





Aphrodite's Child - 666 (1972)

Tag : Aphrodite's Child



"666 (The Apocalypse of John, 13/18) is a double album by PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE ART ROCK group Aphrodite's Child. It is one of the early cult albums in rock history, and is still popular among fans today. It was published in 1972, and was the primary vehicle/effort for this Vangelis project. It had a minor Album Oriented Radio hit in "The Four Horsemen," and a nearly pop hit with "Break." The album was ostensibly an adaptation of Biblical passages from the book of the same name, but was also very experimental in lyrics and composition, including a curious piece of performance art in which Irene Papas is struggling to chant a mantra while coming to climax." - Wikipedia

REVIEW
by William Ruhlmann
Octogenarian singer/mandolin player Jesse McReynolds is quick to point out in his liner notes that Songs of the Grateful Dead does not mark the first time this venerable bluegrass musician has ventured into the rock realm, having played on the Doors' Soft Parade and, with his brother in their duo Jim & Jesse, cut a Chuck Berry tribute album, Berry Pickin' in the Country. This tribute is not nearly as much of a stretch as that one, however. As Deadheads know, Dead leader Jerry Garcia was a big bluegrass fan, and his songs for the group often reflected that taste. Also, he sometimes played bluegrass in his side projects, and McReynolds has enlisted some of Garcia's sidemen in this effort, the "friends" of the artist credit specifically referring to David Nelson of the New Riders of the Purple Sage and Stu Allen of the Jerry Garcia Band, with Garcia friend Sandy Rothman picking a banjo on "Deep Elem Blues" and penning his own liner notes in which he attests to his and Garcia's affection for Jim & Jesse. With all this mutual admiration, then, it's not surprising that the album comes off so well. McReynolds has not restricted himself to what might seem like the obvious choices from such country-oriented Dead albums as Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, also including some of the later songs by Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter, such as "Black Muddy River" and "Standing on the Moon." Just as Garcia's melodies reveal bluegrass and country influences, so Hunter's aphoristic lyrics, full of Western imagery, work just fine with McReynolds' rural inflections. And the players are not averse to going for some Dead-style space jamming on such selections as "Bird Song" and "Franklin's Tower." It all comes to an appropriate close with a new McReynolds/Hunter composition, the lightly philosophical "Day by Day." "If Jerry was here, he'd be playing on this album," writes Rothman, and that's hard to doubt; even without his actual presence, his spirit is evoked.

CHEAP TRICK – The Complete Epic Albums Collection



Cheap Trick – The Complete Epic Albums Collection (2012)

“ELO kiddies, ELO kiddies, whatcha gonna do when the lights start shining?” went the musical question in the first song on Cheap Trick’s very first album.  But one question, naturally, leads to another.  Was the song title simply saying a British ‘elo in a cheeky salute?  Or was it alluding to ELO, a.k.a. Electric Light Orchestra, the orchestral rock outfit founded by Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood?  Why the heck does the song sound more like Gary Glitter than those Brummies?  And where did the boys from Illinois soak up all of those British influences anyway? You’ll find plenty of questions, as well as deliciously satisfying answers, in the handy 13-album/14-CD cube helpfully entitled Cheap Trick: The Complete Epic Albums Collection (Epic/Legacy 88697 94193 2, 2012).

Produced by Bruce Dickinson and mastered by Vic Anesini, this exclusive box set brings together the formidable 1977-1990 catalogue of one of America’s most electrifying rock bands.  A full five albums (One on One, Standing on the Edge, The Doctor, Lap of Luxury and Busted) have been newly remastered expressly for this set, while Found All the Parts makes its U.S. CD debut and the “Authorized Version” of the Todd Rundgren-produced Next Position Please has its worldwide CD premiere.  In addition, five albums have bonus tracks mirroring their most recent Legacy reissues, and the acclaimed At Budokan is presented in its complete 2-CD form.  Indeed, this is a comprehensive anthology suitable for both longtime Cheap Trick fans as well as for new fans looking to build a library in one fell swoop.
Once Rick Neilsen and Tom Petersson lit The Fuse in the late 1960s, the stage was set for Cheap Trick.  The Fuse didn’t burn for long, though, and the Chicago duo reunited to Philadelphia where they became Sick Men of Europe (presumably by way of South Street).  Returning to Illinois in 1973, Neilsen and Petersson added drummer Bun E. Carlos and singer Randy “Xeno” Hogan to their band, finally becoming Cheap Trick.  Hogan didn’t do the Trick, however, and was replaced in short order by Robin Zander.  From 1975 onward, the band toured relentlessly, and in 1976 Cheap Trick was rewarded with an Epic Records recording contract.  Producer Jack Douglas was tasked with the chore of bringing to record the band’s singular brand of rock: crunchy riffs on top of bright pop melodies, enlivened by eccentric, often dark humor and a subversive lyrical outlook.  The result, 1977’s Cheap Trick, failed to chart in the U.S. but became a major seller in Japan, priming the band for worldwide success.
The quartet’s second album, 1978’s In Color, dented the charts at No. 73 but smoothed out the rough edges of the ’77 debut with a somewhat quieter, even more melodic approach.  The magic finally arrived with Heaven Tonight (1978).  Like In Color, it was produced by Tom Werman, but this time out, he found Cheap Trick’s sweet spot.  Werman didn’t discourage the hook-filled songs inspired by the best of the British Invasion, but they were interpreted via a loud, tough and current sound.  “Surrender” from Heaven Tonight became Cheap Trick’s first Top 100 single, and a calling card for the group.  Heaven Tonight may be a great power pop album, but the emphasis is on the power.  Another band that mastered the heavy-yet-light balance was The Move, and Cheap Trick made explicit its devotion to the quirky rock of Roy Wood with a cover of his “California Man.”
And the fans surrendered to 1979’s At Budokan, on which the aggressive playing is rewarded by the audience’s palpable fervor.  The original Top 5-charting release was expanded by Legacy in 1998 from 10 tracks to the concert’s full 19 by incorporating material first aired on 1994’s Budokan II, and that 1998 set is the version included here.  (A whopping 3-CD/1-DVD set from 2008 expanded the original album further with a second concert included.)  Werman returned for the next studio effort, Dream Police, on which the production was as elaborate as At Budokan was raw.  Then, in 1980, Cheap Trick released the four-track EP Found All the Parts, freeing from the band’s vaults three new compositions and a cover of The Beatles’ “Day Tripper.”  This EP acknowledged the clear Beatles influence on the band, and this box set marks its very first time on American CD in its original form.  So for All Shook Up, released later that year, Cheap Trick went to the source: none other than George Martin.  Since his legendary run with the Fabs, Martin had produced a string of successful albums for America as well as albums by a crop of artists running the gamut from Neil Sedaka to Jeff Beck.  Now, his imprimatur was bestowed on Neilsen and co., and although the album might have been crushed under the weight of its lofty expectations, it’s far more than a mere footnote in the group’s discography.
Roy Thomas Baker, well known for his work with Queen and The Cars, followed Martin as producer of 1982’s One on One, which introduced new bassist Jon Brant, but an even more eyebrow-raising match was yet to come.  Todd Rundgren, known for his outré studio experimentation as well as for his own style of power pop, was familiar with Cheap Trick; Robert “Stewkey” Antoni of Rundgren’s first band The Nazz had briefly played in the embryonic Sick Men of Europe with the future Cheap Trick members.  (Rundgren also shared the band’s enthusiasm for The Move; Roy Wood’s band had covered Todd’s “Open My Eyes” and Rundgren repaid the favor with his own take on “Do Ya.”)  Neilsen recalled meeting Rundgren as far back as 1969, at which time Todd had actually advised the singer against working with his old bandmate Stewkey!  For his part, Rundgren wasn’t concerned about stepping into the producer’s chair for the album that became Next Position Please: “My priority as a producer, first of all, is the material.  Show me the music and then, of course, show me the money!”  Joking aside, he added to author Paul Myers, “It’s entirely down to songs, though.”  Engineer Chris Andersen told Myers, “There was just a great vibe in the studio, and a genuine camaraderie between Todd and the band.”  In addition to his production duties, the multi-talented Rundgren also contributed guitars to the album and a song of his own, “Heaven’s Falling,” which was the kind of infectious power pop he seemingly could turn out with ease.  The trouble began when Epic Records didn’t hear a single on the LP, even though Rundgren thought Robin Zander’s big, arena-ready “I Can’t Take It” was prime 45 material.  Epic removed two of the proposed album’s tracks, “Don’t Hit Me with Love” and “Twisted Heart,” and ordered the band into the studio with Ian Taylor as producer for a cover of The Motors’ “Dancing the Night Away” and Neilsen’s own “You Say Jump.”  The album’s “You Talk Too Much” and “Don’t Make Our Love A Crime” were relegated to bonus track status on subsequent cassette and CD editions of the album.
When Next Position Please was released in 1983, it managed a No. 61 chart placement but lacked staying power despite its tuneful melodies, bright production and brash spirit.  In 2006, the band reconsidered the album, digitally issuing an “Authorized Edition” with all of the Rundgren tracks restored, and the two non-Todd tracks sequenced at the album’s conclusion.  This “complete” 16-track version, thankfully, makes its CD debut as part of The Complete Epic Albums Collection, allowing the work of “kindred spirit” Rundgren, according to Bun E. Carlos, to shine fully.
Four more albums for Epic followed in the 1980s.  1985’s Standing on the Edge reunited the group with producer Jack Douglas and yielded the almost-Top 40 single “Tonight It’s You” but the album lacked a strong character even if Carlos pointedly was credited for “acoustic drums” on the album sleeve amidst the decade’s drum machine deluge.  (Even Rundgren had been enamored of the Linn drum machine, with Carlos playing live drums to Rundgren’s programmed track on the previous LP.)  1986’s The Doctor, however, embraced the eighties ethos head-on, with synthesizer and drum machine overload on happily trashy songs like “Good Girls Go to Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere).”  Certain charms aside, The Doctor (produced by Tony Platt) hasn’t aged as well as the band’s more successful albums.  The harder-rocking Lap of Luxury (1988) followed, with a cover of Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel” and a phalanx of outside co-writers including Diane Warren on “Ghost Town.”  Ironically, though, Cheap Trick scored its first No. 1 hit with Bob Mitchell and Nick Graham’s bombastic power ballad “The Flame,” brought to the group by album producer Richie Zito.  The pop-metal sound of Lap of Luxury (with original bassist Petersson back in the fold) proved that Cheap Trick indeed had a place in the 1980s.
The Complete Epic Albums Collection concludes with Cheap Trick’s first effort of the 1990s, Busted, which turned again to Diane Warren but also looked back to the inspiration of Roy Wood with a cover of “Rock ‘N’ Roll Tonight.”  Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders joined in with vocals on “Walk Away” while Foreigner’s Mick Jones contributed guitar to “If You Need Me.”  The album yielded a moderate radio hit with “Can’t Stop Fallin’ Into Love,” written by Neilsen, Zander and Petersson, but Cheap Trick and Epic soon parted ways.
In the ensuing 20+ years, Cheap Trick has continued to tour and record, offering a handful of new studio albums as well as choice live albums like 2009’s Sgt. Pepper Live, paying homage once again to The Beatles in the band’s typically high-octane fashion.  But the albums contained within this checkerboard are without a doubt the core of the band’s great legacy.  The box set, in addition to its truly superlative sound, also offers a 32-page booklet.  It lacks any liner notes, but contains the personnel info, track listings and discographical annotation for every album included.  Each title is housed in a mini-LP replica jacket.
