Top 10 Aphrodite's Child Songs

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be ranking my top 10 Aphrodite's Child songs. Let's get straight into it.

10) Break: A great end to 666, featuring some very warm vocals and a really welcoming guitar solo, as if the credits are rolling on the band's career.

9) Rain And Tears: A sweet ballad with some of my favourite instrumentals in all of Aphrodite's Child's career. The vocals are especially gentle on this song.

8) Marie Jolie: As much as I did not enjoy It's Five O'Clock, this and 2 other songs on this list hold it up. This song is a psychedelic ballad, with beautiful vocals as usual.

7) The Grass Is No Green: Incredible psychedelic prog rock song. Filtered vocals and abstract instrumentals create such a beautiful atmosphere.

6) It's Five O'Clock: A nice and gentle soft rock song, with some very nice vocals. Some of my favourites from Aphrodite's Child.

5) Lament: Probably the band's most ominous song, it has a slow and oppressing bassline and distant vocals, thus creating a magnificent feel.

4) The Lamb: Very energetic, loud and groovy. Traditional Greek instruments and a choir screaming along with the melody. Amazing song!

3) The Four Horsemen: Amazing instrumental, beautiful vocals from Mr. Roussos and an overall very psychedelic feel to it.

2) End Of The World: This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I thank you LEMMiNO for introducing me to this band. Gentle vocals and soft instrumentals give of such a beautiful vibe.

And finally...

1) Annabella: Arguably the best song on It's Five O'Clock. The beautiful, serene feel of the song, gentle vocals, soft instrumentals and an overall gorgeous song. The irony that my favourite song from these guys is from my least favourite album from them.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II

Image
Greetings everyone! Quick disclaimer, this will be a long post, so grab yourself some tea while you read. Anyway, today I will be reviewing Aphex Twin's second album, Selected Ambient Works Volume II. After the amazing EP that was 85-92 , I had high hopes for this album. With that being said, let's get straight into the review. Right off the bat, Cliffs (I will be referring to the fan names) was a great start to the album, it's main motif being a woman's vocals being repeated constantly over the soothing ambient chords. I could hear the woman say "песня" (pesnya), which means song in Russian. Then suddenly, Radiator was a pretty creepy song, with a repeating melody that sounded like a stock phone alarm for some reason. Even though it had some very eerie chords, it was overall a pretty enjoyable track. But then, after the song had ended, Rhubarb's calm, welcoming chords started playing, giving me a comforting feel and was overall just a super chill, meditat

The End of Electronics - Union

  Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today I will be reviewing The End of Electronics' first album, Union. As I mentioned in my   Voskhod review , I found out about this one-man band because of my affinity with Molchat Doma. I listened to his first album, and have to say... this album is pretty good. Not the best, but still really good. Let's dive deeper into it, shall we?  Kicking off the album is Night. It has a really interesting vibe to it, feeling like it's the beginning of your journey, and look out the window of your vehicle, you see rural areas and small towns. That's the feel thus song gives me. It has an amazing chorus instrumental and is just overall really well made!  Moving on, we have the oddly melancholic Union. Not that there is anything bad with that, but the instrumental gives me a sadder vibe. It really cool, it feels like the journey has taken a break, and you stopped at a gas station. The vocals are really cool in this song, and adds up to another gr

Nürnberg - Skryvaj

Greetings once again, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I am reviewing Nürnberg's first studio album, not EP, Skryvaj. Fun Fact: Roman Komogortsev of Molchat Doma helped mix and master this album, and also played a couple synth melodies on this record. This had me very hyped up for this album. Let's see if it really delivered on that. Right of the bat, Usio Roŭna is a highly energetic song with some absolutely  amazing guitar melodies and a super catchy bassline. One of the best starts to an album I have ever seen. Next we have Biessensoŭnasć. The guitar melodies were OK and the bassline was great, but the vocals didn't really do it for me on this song. Spać also had some rather weird vocals, but these ones were a bit more bearable compared to the previous song. The guitar melodies were also great on this song, and the bassline was also pretty nice. Staracca was a turn to the melancholic, with some slow guitar melodies and deep, distant vocals. Also, this track has a repeating t
